The i-side 0111b machine check, which is "Instruction Fetch to foreign address space", was missed by7b9f71f974("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine check handler"). The POWER9 processor core considers host real addresses with a nonzero value in RA(8:12) as foreign address space, accessible only by the copy and paste instructions. The copy and paste instruction pair can be used to invoke the Nest accelerators via the Virtual Accelerator Switchboard (VAS). It is an error for any regular load/store or ifetch to go to a foreign addresses. When relocation is on, this causes an MMU exception. When relocation is off, a machine check exception. It is possible to trigger this machine check by branching to a foreign address with MSR[IR]=0.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
