The powernv machine check handler copes with taking a MCE from one of three contexts, guest, kernel, and user. In each case the early handler runs first on a special stack, then: - The guest case branches to the KVM interrupt handler (via standard interrupt macros). - The user case will run the "late" handler which is like a normal interrupt that runs in virtual mode and uses the regular kernel stack. - The kernel case queues the event and schedules it for processing with irq work. The last case is important, it must not enable virtual memory because the MMU state may not be set up to deal with that (e.g., SLB might be clear), it must not use the regular kernel stack for similar reasons (e.g., might be in OPAL with OPAL stack in r1), and the kernel does not expect anything to touch its stack if interrupts are disabled. The pseries handler does not do this queueing, but instead it always runs the late handler for host MCEs, which has some of the same problems. Now that pseries is using machine_check_events, change it to do the same as powernv and queue events for kernel MCEs.

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.
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.
