Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Do not overwrite MCi_STATUS in mce_no_way_out()
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 14:40:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180621124020.6244-1-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
mce_no_way_out() does a quick check during #MC to see whether some of
the MCEs logged would require the kernel to panic immediately. And it
passes a struct mce where MCi_STATUS gets written.
However, after having saved a valid status value, the next iteration
of the loop which goes over the MCA banks on the CPU, overwrites the
valid status value because we're using struct mce as storage instead of
a temporary variable.
Which leads to MCE records with an empty status value:
mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 6 Bank 0: 0000000000000000
mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffbd42fbd7> {trigger_mce+0x7/0x10}
Change it to use a temporary variable and save to mce.status only when
valid. It will still overwrite the old status value if more than one
MCEs are logged, which warrants the second change in this patch:
Return immediately when severity is a panic one so that we can panic
immediately with the first fatal MCE logged.
