Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] x86/mce/amd: Fix VM crash during deferred error handling
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:30:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218163025.1316501-2-william.roche@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218163025.1316501-1-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, where the kernel
has to check for the SMCA feature before accessing MCA_DESTAT.
Fixes: 7cb735d7c0cb ("x86/mce: Unify AMD DFR handler with MCA Polling")
