[PATCH 0/1] address one of sashiko pre-existing issues

[Christian Borntraeger]

Heiko, Vasily, Alexander,

this touches s390 nmi code. Please review the change.
Shall we move  MCCK_CODE_NO_GUEST into nmi.h and use
that for masking in s390_backup_mcck_info as well? 


If you are ok with this, 
shall we take this via the kvm tree?

[PATCH 1/1] KVM: s390: Fix memory corruption by not reinjecting CK machine checks

[Christian Borntraeger]

Channel-subsystem damage machine checks are for the host channel
subsystem. The guest channel subsystem is emulated in the userspace VMM.
There is no point in forwarding such machine checks into the guest.

This also simplifies the machine check reinjection and avoids kfree of a
stack variable as reported by sashiko.  There might be still machine
checks that have the ck bit set with another bit (like instruction
damage), mask out the CK bit in s390_backup_mcck_info(), like the CP and
ED bits already are.

So what you proposed in the cover-letter is to change the above to:

	mcck_backup->mcic = get_lowcore()->mcck_interruption_code & ~MCCK_CODE_NO_GUEST;

Right? Yes, pleae do that! And this can also go via kvm.

Yes, see my comment in the cover letter. We would need to move this define.

[PATCH on master] KVM: s390: Fix memory corruption by not reinjecting CK machine checks

[Christian Borntraeger]

Channel-subsystem damage machine checks are for the host channel
subsystem. The guest channel subsystem is emulated in the userspace VMM.
There is no point in forwarding such machine checks into the guest.

This also simplifies the machine check reinjection and avoids kfree of a
stack variable as reported by sashiko.  There might be still machine
checks that have the ck bit set with another bit (like instruction
damage), mask out the CK bit in s390_backup_mcck_info(), like the CP and
ED bits already are.
