Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Ensure offline CPUs don't participate in rendezvous process
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 11:12:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449742346-21470-2-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1449742346-21470-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>
From: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
Intel's MCA implementation broadcasts MCEs to all CPUs on the node.
This poses a problem for offlined CPUs which cannot participate in the
rendezvous process:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler
Kernel Offset: disabled
Rebooting in 100 seconds..
More specifically, Linux does a soft offline of a CPU when writing a 0
to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online, which doesn't prevent the #MC
exception from being broadcasted to that CPU.
Ensure that offline CPUs don't participate in the MCE rendezvous and
clear the RIP valid status bit so that a second MCE won't cause a
shutdown.
Without the patch, mce_start() will increment mce_callin and wait for
all CPUs. Offlined CPUs should avoid participating in the rendezvous
process altogether.
