Some (if not all) patches were authored by tglx but the single patch
emails are missing a "From:" line at the beginning of the mail
containing him as the author.

Please sort out who's the author of each patch and since it seems you
have a local git branch you're sending, git-commit has an --author
option with which you can fixup the authorship.

Thanks.

[PATCH 1/5] x86: mce: Disable preemption when calling raise_local()

[Chen Gong]

raise_mce() has a code path which does not disable preemption when the
raise_local() is called. The per cpu variable access in raise_local()
depends on preemption being disabled to be functional. So that code
path was either never tested or never tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT
enabled.

Add the missing preempt_disable/enable() pair around the call.

[PATCH 3/5] x86: mce: Split timer init

[Chen Gong]

Split timer init function into the init and the start part, so the
start part can replace the open coded version in CPU_DOWN_FAILED.

[PATCH 5/5] x86: mce: Add cmci poll mode

[Chen Gong]

When CMCI is too many to handle, it should be disabled
to avoid hanging the whole system. In the meanwhile, CMCI poll
timer can be employed to receive CMCI periodically. When no
more CMCI happens CMCI handler can be switched from poll mode
to interrupt mode again.

By now, every CPU core owns one poll timer, but in fact, maybe
it should be enough that every package (or socket) owning one
poll timer. It is because CMCI gets broadcast to all threads on
the same socket. So if one cpu has a problem, all the cpus on
the same socket have a problem.
