I assume IC means Instruction Cache. ;)

As the kernel didn't reboot or halt, this seems to have been a
correctable error.

Which leads me to another question. I have mcelog running, but it
doesn't seem to receive the error. With my previous Intel-HW and an
older kernel, mcelog received MCE errors (trip temperatur). But since
the kernel now decodes those message themself, that doesn't seem to
happen anymore. mcelog is silent, but now I've seen the above message on
all my consoles.

So now I have two question:

- First, if the error is something I should ask AMD about,

- Second, if the kernel could mention that it is an recoverable error.
And if so and if such errors aren't something to get panic (e.g. it
isn't unusual to receive such), if the kernel could output that message
with another priority.

Regards,

Alexander
