Subject[PATCH] x86, MCE: support memory error recovery for both UCNA and Deferred error in machine_check_poll
From
Date
From: Chen Yucong <slaoub@gmail.com>

dram_ce_error() stems from Boris's patch set. Thanks!

Uncorrected no action required (UCNA) - is a UCR error that is not
signaled via a machine check exception and, instead, is reported to
system software as a corrected machine check error. UCNA errors indicate
that some data in the system is corrupted, but the data has not been
consumed and the processor state is valid and you may continue execution
on this processor. UCNA errors require no action from system software
to continue execution. Note that UCNA errors are supported by the
processor only when IA32_MCG_CAP[24] (MCG_SER_P) is set.
-- Intel SDM Volume 3B

Deferred errors are errors that cannot be corrected by hardware, but
do not cause an immediate interruption in program flow, loss of data
integrity, or corruption of processor state. These errors indicate
that data has been corrupted but not consumed. Hardware writes information
to the status and address registers in the corresponding bank that
identifies the source of the error if deferred errors are enabled for
logging. Deferred errors are not reported via machine check exceptions;
they can be seen by polling the MCi_STATUS registers.
-- ADM64 APM Volume 2

Above two items, both UCNA and Deferred errors belong to detected
errors, but they can't be corrected by hardware, and this is very
similar to Software Recoverable Action Optional (SRAO) errors.
Therefore, we can take some actions that have been used for handling
SRAO errors to handle UCNA and Deferred errors.
