[PATCH 4.11 124/197] powerpc/book3s/mce: Move add_taint() later in virtual mode

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d93b0ac01a9ce276ec39644be47001873d3d183c upstream.

machine_check_early() gets called in real mode. The very first time when
add_taint() is called, it prints a warning which ends up calling opal
call (that uses OPAL_CALL wrapper) for writing it to console. If we get a
very first machine check while we are in opal we are doomed. OPAL_CALL
overwrites the PACASAVEDMSR in r13 and in this case when we are done with
MCE handling the original opal call will use this new MSR on it's way
back to opal_return. This usually leads to unexpected behaviour or the
kernel to panic. Instead move the add_taint() call later in the virtual
mode where it is safe to call.

This is broken with current FW level. We got lucky so far for not getting
very first MCE hit while in OPAL. But easily reproducible on Mambo.

Fixes: 27ea2c420cad ("powerpc: Set the correct kernel taint on machine check errors.")
