[PATCH 6/7] x86/mce: Look in genpool instead of mcelog for pending error records

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Sat Apr 30 2016 - 08:34:41 EST


From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>

A couple of issues here:

1) MCE_LOG_LEN is only 32 - so we may have more pending records than will
fit in the buffer on high core count CPUs.

2) During a panic we may have a lot of duplicate records because multiple
logical CPUs may have seen and logged the same error because some
banks are shared.

Switch to using the genpool to look for the pending records. Squeeze out
duplicated records.
