[PATCH 2/2] x86/mce: Add quirk for instruction recovery on SandyBridge processors

From: Tony Luck
Date: Thu Jul 19 2012 - 15:02:16 EST


Sandy Bridge processors follow the SDM (Vol 3B, Table 15-20) and set
both the RIPV and EIPV bits in the MCG_STATUS register to zero for
machine checks during instruction fetch. This is more than a little
counter-intuitive and means that Linux cannot recover from these
errors. Rather than insert special case code at several places in mce.c
and mce-severity.c, we pretend the EIPV bit was set for just this case
early in processing the machine check.
