From d90167a941f62860f35eb960e1012aa2d30e7e94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ashok Raj Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 11:12:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Ensure offline CPUs don't participate in rendezvous process 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.
