2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> commit a129a7c84582629741e5fa6f40026efcd7a65bd4 upstream. When running on 32bit the mce handler could misinterpret vm86 mode as ring 0. This can affect whether it does recovery or not; it was possible to panic when recovery was actually possible. Fix this by always forcing vm86 to look like ring 3. [ Backport to 3.0 notes: Things changed there slightly: - move mce_get_rip() up. It fills up m->cs and m->ip values which are evaluated in mce_severity(). Therefore move it up right before the mce_severity call. This seem to be another bug in 3.0? - Place the backport (fix m->cs in V86 case) to where m->cs gets filled which is mce_get_rip() in 3.0 ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Tony Luck <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <[email protected]> --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c index 0f16a2b..28a7e4c8 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c @@ -431,6 +431,13 @@ static inline void mce_get_rip(struct mce *m, struct pt_regs *regs) if (regs && (m->mcgstatus & (MCG_STATUS_RIPV|MCG_STATUS_EIPV))) { m->ip = regs->ip; m->cs = regs->cs; + /* + * When in VM86 mode make the cs look like ring 3 + * always.
