This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled x86/mce: Fix MCE severity messages to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt15. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From ce31b27e12018051146e01c1de1488aa292b56d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Date: Mon, 18 May 2015 10:07:17 +0200 Subject: x86/mce: Fix MCE severity messages commit 17fea54bf0ab34fa09a06bbde2f58ed7bbdf9299 upstream. Derek noticed that a critical MCE gets reported with the wrong error type description: [Hardware Error]: CPU 34: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 9: f200003f000100b0 [Hardware Error]: RIP !INEXACT! 10:<ffffffff812e14c1> {intel_idle+0xb1/0x170} [Hardware Error]: TSC 49587b8e321cb [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:306e4 TIME 1431561296 SOCKET 1 APIC 29 [Hardware Error]: Some CPUs didn't answer in synchronization [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Invalid ^^^^^^^ The last line with 'Invalid' should have printed the high level MCE error type description we get from mce_severity, i.e. something like: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Action required: data load error in a user process this happens due to the fact that mce_no_way_out() iterates over all MCA banks and possibly overwrites the @msg argument which is used in the panic printing later. Change behavior to take the message of only and the (last) critical MCE it detects. Reported-by: Derek <denc716@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: H.
