    powerpc: Handle MCE on POWER9 with only DSISR bit 30 set · d8bd9f3f
    Michael Neuling authored
    On POWER9 DD2.1 and below, it's possible for a paste instruction to
    cause a Machine Check Exception (MCE) where only DSISR bit 30 (IBM 33)
    is set. This will result in the MCE handler seeing an unknown event,
    which triggers linux to crash.
    
    We change this by detecting unknown events caused by load/stores in
    the MCE handler and marking them as handled so that we no longer
    crash.
    
    An MCE that occurs like this is spurious, so we don't need to do
    anything in terms of servicing it. If there is something that needs to
    be serviced, the CPU will raise the MCE again with the correct DSISR
    so that it can be serviced properly.
