mainlining shenanigans
Some injection testing resulted in the following console log: mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 22: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134 mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffc05292dd> {pmem_do_bvec+0x11d/0x330 [nd_pmem]} mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC c51a63035d52 ADDR 3234bc4000 MISC 88 mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:50654 TIME 1526502199 SOCKET 0 APIC 38 microcode 2000043 mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii' Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine check from unknown source This confused everybody because the first line quite clearly shows that we found a logged error in "Bank 1", while the last line says "unknown source". The problem is that the Linux code doesn't do the right thing for a local machine check that results in a fatal error. It turns out that we know very early in the handler whether the machine check is fatal. The call to mce_no_way_out() has checked all the banks for the CPU that took the local machine check. If it says we must crash, we can do so right away with the right messages. We do scan all the banks again. This means that we might initially not see a problem, but during the second scan find something fatal. If this happens we print a slightly different message (so I can see if it actually every happens).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
