From 1a556b7cf880f1bc1edc7d8617c6ac53274e9e02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Luck Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:20:47 -0700 Subject: x86/mce: Fix siginfo_t->si_addr value for non-recoverable memory faults commit 6751ed65dc6642af64f7b8a440a75563c8aab7ae upstream. In commit dad1743e5993f1 ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This would prevent application level recovery from the fault. Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so that we will provide the right information with the signal.
