It's platform specific. What platform are you on?
See the ppc_md & cur_cpu_spec calls here:
void machine_check_exception(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
int recover = 0;
bool nested = in_nmi();
if (!nested)
nmi_enter();
__this_cpu_inc(irq_stat.mce_exceptions);
add_taint(TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK, LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE);
/* See if any machine dependent calls. In theory, we would want
* to call the CPU first, and call the ppc_md. one if the CPU
* one returns a positive number. However there is existing code
* that assumes the board gets a first chance, so let's keep it
* that way for now and fix things later. --BenH.
*/
if (ppc_md.machine_check_exception)
recover = ppc_md.machine_check_exception(regs);
else if (cur_cpu_spec->machine_check)
recover = cur_cpu_spec->machine_check(regs);
if (recover > 0)
goto bail;
Either the ppc_md or cpu_spec handlers can send a signal, but after a
bit of grepping I think only the pseries and powernv ones do.
If you get into die() then it's an oops, which is not the same as a
normal signal.
cheers
