Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fix MCE handling for AMD multi-node processors
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:10:09 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419279012-4754-1-git-send-email-Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@amd.com> (raw)
When a MCE happens that is to be logged onto bank 4 of AMD multi-node
processors, they are reported only to corresponding node base core of
the cpu on which the error occurred.
Refer D18F3x44[NbMcaToMstCpuEn] on BKDGs of Fam10h and later for
clarifications on the reporting of MC4 errors only to NBC MSRs.
We don't have the exception handler wired up to handle this currently.
As a consequence, do_machine_check only runs on the core on which error
occurred and (since according to the BKDGs, reads to MC4_STATUS MSR of
non-NBC will simply RAZ) the exception is ignored for the core.
This is a problem as now we have dropped MCEs.
I tested this on Fam10h and Fam15h using mce_amd_inj and by triggering
a real HW MCE using Boris' new interface; And can confirm the behavior.
This patch set fixes the issue by looking at the NBC MSRs when bank 4
errors happen on AMD multi node processors.
Patch 1: Refactor AMD cpu topology functions so that we can get some
relevant info that we need to use in EDAC, MC handler routines
Patch 2: The fix to our problem
Patch 3: Modify mce_amd_inj interfaces to write to only NBC for bank 4
errors. Only then will they be picked up for error handling.
