I used intel edac error injector and saw the same problem. I actually wrote down the core numbers and I saw mce got to 0-5 and 12-17, but not the others. I have 2 sockets, 24 logical cores. Below is the trace I put into mce code. The core number is after "#".

See Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3B Section 15.10.4.1, 3rd bullet: o For processors on which CPUID reports DisplayFamily_DisplayModel as 06H_0EH and onward, an MCA signal is broadcast to all logical processors in the system Your E-5645 processors are a lot newer than this cut-off version - so they should broadcast to all your threads. You are seeing something very strange. It would be interesting to know *which* 12 cpus show up for your machine check. Perhaps you are seeing all the hyperthreads from one socket and none from the other? I still suspect that something is strange in the EDAC error injection side of this problem and that you are not getting a h/w initiated INT#18 event. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
