[patch V3 09/20] x86/extable: Remove EX_TYPE_FAULT from MCE safe fixups
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Wed Sep 08 2021 - 09:30:24 EST
Now that the MC safe copy and FPU have been converted to use the MCE safe
fixup types remove EX_TYPE_FAULT from the list of types which MCE considers
to be safe to be recovered in kernel.
This removes the SGX exception handling of ENCLS from the #MC safe
handling, but according to the SGX wizards the current SGX implementations
cannot survive #MC on ENCLS:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/YS+upEmTfpZub3s9@xxxxxxxxxx
The code relies on the trap number being stored if ENCLS raised an
exception. That's still working, but it does not longer trick the MCE code
to assume that #MC is handled correctly for ENCLS.
