[RFC PATCH 0/9] Machine check handling in linux host.

[Mahesh J Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi,

Please find the patch set that performs the machine check handling inside linux
host. The design is to be able to handle re-entrancy so that we do not clobber
the machine check information during nested machine check interrupt.

The patch 2 implements the logic to save the raw MCE info onto the emergency
stack and prepares to take another exception. Patch 3 and 4 adds CPU-side hooks
for early machine check handler and TLB flush.  The patch 5 and 6 is
responsible to detect SLB/TLB errors and flush them off in the real mode. The
patch 7 implements the logic to decode and save high level MCE information to
per cpu buffer without clobbering. The patch 9 adds the basic error handling to
the high level C code with MMU on.

I have tested SLB multihit scenario on powernv. For TLB multihit and nested
machine check testing, I am still working on getting cronus setup to be able
to inject errors.

Please review and let me know your comments.

Thanks,
-Mahesh.
