From 2cd3b5f9033f0b051842a279dac5a54271cbd3c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 14:02:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Clarify comments regarding deferred error Deferred errors indicate errors that hardware could not fix. But it still does not cause any interruption to program flow. So it does not generate any #MC and UC bit in MCx_STATUS is not set. Correct comment.
