The machine check handler must be entered with DAT disabled in case control registers are corrupted or a storage error happened and we can not tell if such error corresponds to a page table. Both of described conditions end up in stopping all CPUs and entering the disabled wait in C half of the handler. However, the storage errors are still checked after the DAT is enabled and C code is entered. In case a page table is damaged such flow is not expected to work. This update paves the way for moving the storage error checks from C to assembler half. All fatal errors that can only be handled with DAT disabled are handled in assembler half also. As result, the C half is only entered if the DAT is secured.

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.
