This has nothing to do with how the machine check gets communicated to the guest. Now, part of the host-side machine check handling has already happened, but I thought there was more that was done in host kernel virtual mode. If this change really is needed then I would want an ack from Mahesh that this is correct, and it will need to be explained in detail in the patch description. > 14: mtspr SPRN_HSRR0, r8 > mtspr SPRN_HSRR1, r7 > b hmi_exception_after_realmode > @@ -2390,15 +2384,13 @@ machine_check_realmode: > ld r9, HSTATE_KVM_VCPU(r13) > li r12, BOOK3S_INTERRUPT_MACHINE_CHECK > /* > - * Deliver unhandled/fatal (e.g. UE) MCE errors to guest through > - * machine check interrupt (set HSRR0 to 0x200).
