[PATCH] x86: add IRQ context simulation in module mce-inject

From: Luck, Tony
Date: Tue Nov 15 2011 - 18:56:22 EST


mce-inject provides a mechanism to simulate errors so that test
scripts can check for correct operation of the kernel without
requiring any specialized hardware to create rare events.

The existing code can simulate events in normal process context
and also in NMI context - but not in IRQ context. This patch
fills that gap.

[Re-wrote the commit comment - Chen Gong's original text is below,
in case I missed any critical aspect - Tony]
module mce-inject is an interface which is used by user space app
such as mce-inject. According to it one can inject all kinds of
error combinations into the kernel. In this way, one can check
error condition coverage in the kernel. To satisify this needs,
module mce-inject must simulate enough scenarios such as process
context, IRQ context, even NMI context, to ensure related kernel
codes are strong and reliable. In current implementation, IRQ
context hasn't been simulated. This patch is for this purpose.
