[PATCH 0/3] MCE robustness fixes and LKDTM powerpc enhancements

From: Sayali Patil

Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 05:10:22 EST


Hi all,

This series fixes a panic observed while handling machine check exceptions
(MCEs) from real mode. It also improves the reliability of the
PPC_SLB_MULTIHIT test by adding isync instructions after slbmte operations,
and introduces a new LKDTM trigger (PPC_RADIX_TLBIEL) to validate MCE
behavior on radix MMU.

Please review the patches and provide any feedback or suggestions
for improvement.

Thanks,
Sayali

powerpc/time: remove preempt_disable/enable from arch_irq_work_raise()
lkdtm/powerpc: add isync after slbmte to enforce SLB update ordering
lkdtm/powerpc: add PPC_RADIX_TLBIEL test for radix MCE validation
