Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] x86/mce: AMD deferred error handling crashes Qemu VMs
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 18:26:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213182630.680651-2-william.roche@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260213182630.680651-1-william.roche@oracle.com>

From: William Roche <william.roche@oracle.com>

A non Scalable MCA system may prevent access to SMCA specific registers
like MCA_DESTAT. This is the case of Qemu/kvm VMs, and the VM kernel
needs to avoid accessing SMCA registers on non-SMCA platforms.

Fixes: 7cb735d7c0cb ("x86/mce: Unify AMD DFR handler with MCA Polling")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
