[PATCH] x86/MCE: Prevent CPU offline for SMCA CPUs with non-core banks
From: Yazen Ghannam
Date: Wed Aug 21 2024 - 10:00:42 EST
Logical CPUs in AMD Scalable MCA (SMCA) systems can manage non-core
banks. Each of these banks represents unique and separate hardware
located within the system. Each bank is managed by a single logical CPU;
they are not shared. Furthermore, the "CPU to MCA bank" assignment
cannot be modified at run time.
The MCE subsystem supports run time CPU hotplug. Many vendors have
non-core MCA banks, so MCA settings are not cleared when a CPU is
offlined for these vendors.
Even though the non-core MCA banks remain enabled, MCA errors will not
be handled (reported, cleared, etc.) on SMCA systems when the managing
CPU is offline.
Check if a CPU manages non-core MCA banks and, if so, prevent it from
being taken offline.
