A long time ago, Linux cleared IA32_MCG_STATUS at the very end of machine check processing. Then, some fancy recovery and IST manipulation was added in: d4812e16 ("x86, mce: Get rid of TIF_MCE_NOTIFY and associated mce tricks") and clearing IA32_MCG_STATUS was pulled earlier in the function. Next change moved the actual recovery out of do_machine_check() and just used task_work_add() to schedule it later (before returning to the user): 5567d11c ("x86/mce: Send #MC singal from task work") Most recently the fancy IST footwork was removed as no longer needed: b052df3d ("x86/entry: Get rid of ist_begin/end_non_atomic()") At this point there is no reason remaining to clear IA32_MCG_STATUS early. It can move back to the very end of the function. Also move sync_core(). The comments for this function say that it should only be called when instructions have been changed/re-mapped. Recovery for an instruction fetch may change the physical address. But that doesn't happen until the scheduled work runs (which could be on another CPU).
