commit 6751ed65dc6642af64f7b8a440a75563c8aab7ae upstream.

In commit dad1743e5993f1 ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine
check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a
signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not
set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't
get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t-&gt;si_addr. This
would prevent application level recovery from the fault.

Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so
that we will provide the right information with the signal.

commit 4ad33411308596f2f918603509729922a1ec4411 upstream.

It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but
unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and
/proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI.

Therefore, rename this to "dtherm".

This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86
maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject.

<title>x86, MCE, AMD: Make APIC LVT thresholding interrupt optional</title>

commit f227d4306cf30e1d5b6f231e8ef9006c34f3d186 upstream.

Currently, the APIC LVT interrupt for error thresholding is implicitly
enabled. However, there are models in the F15h range which do not enable
it. Make the code machinery which sets up the APIC interrupt support
an optional setting and add an -&gt;interrupt_capable member to the bank
representation mirroring that capability and enable the interrupt offset
programming only if it is true.

Simplify code and fixup comment style while at it.

commit a129a7c84582629741e5fa6f40026efcd7a65bd4 upstream.

When running on 32bit the mce handler could misinterpret
vm86 mode as ring 0. This can affect whether it does recovery
or not; it was possible to panic when recovery was actually
possible.

Fix this by always forcing vm86 to look like ring 3.

Linus pointed out that there was no value is checking whether m-&gt;ip
was zero - because zero is a legimate value.  If we have a reliable
(or faked in the VM86 case) "m-&gt;cs" we can use it to tell whether we
were in user mode or kernelwhen the machine check hit.

Section 15.3.1.2 of the software developer manual has this to say about the
RIPV bit in the IA32_MCG_STATUS register:

  RIPV (restart IP valid) flag, bit 0 — Indicates (when set) that program
  execution can be restarted reliably at the instruction pointed to by the
  instruction pointer pushed on the stack when the machine-check exception
  is generated.  When clear, the program cannot be reliably restarted at
  the pushed instruction pointer.

We need to save the state of this bit in do_machine_check() and use it
in mce_notify_process() to force a signal; even if memory_failure() says
it made a complete recovery ... e.g. replaced a clean LRU page.

BIOS will switch off the corresponding feature flag on family
15h models 10h-1fh non-desktop CPUs.

The topology extension CPUID leafs are required to detect which
cores belong to the same compute unit. (thread siblings mask is
set accordingly and also correct information about L1i and L2
cache sharing depends on this).

W/o this patch we wouldn't see which cores belong to the same
compute unit and also cache sharing information for L1i and L2
would be incorrect on such systems.

A small L3 cache index disable fix from Srivatsa Bhat which unifies the
way the code checks for already disabled indices.

( Pulling it into v3.4 despite the v3.5 tag - the fix is small and we better

If the L3 disable slot is already in use, return -EEXIST instead of
-EINVAL. The caller, store_cache_disable(), checks this return value to
print an appropriate warning.

Also, we want to signal with -EEXIST that the current index we're
disabling has actually been already disabled on the node:

$ echo 12 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
$ echo 12 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
-bash: echo: write error: File exists
$ echo 12 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
-bash: echo: write error: File exists
$ echo 12 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
-bash: echo: write error: File exists

The old code would say

-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

for disable slot 1 when playing the example above with no output in
dmesg, which is clearly misleading.
