[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
