From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mah...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
For machine check occurring while in guest, KVM layer tries recovery
and deliver MCE to guest if recovery is failed. For recovered errors
we just go back to normal functioning of guest. But there are cases
where we may hit MCE in guest with MSR(RI=0), which means MCE interrupt is
not recoverable and guest can not function normally it should go down to
panic path. The current implementation does not have check for MSR(RI=0)
which can cause guest to crash with Bad kernel stack pointer instead of
machine check oops message.
[26281.490060] Bad kernel stack pointer 3fff9ccce5b0 at c00000000000490c
[26281.490434] Oops: Bad kernel stack pointer, sig: 6 [#1]
[26281.490472] SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
This patch fixes this issue by checking MSR(RI=0) in KVM layer and forwarding
unrecoverable interrupt to guest which then panics with proper machine check
Oops message.
