If we hit UE at an instruction with a fixup entry, flag to ignore the event and set nip to continue execution at the fixup entry.
You don't explain why we would want to do that. Or what the consequences are if we *don't* do it. As such it's unclear if this is an important fix or just a nice-to-have.
For powernv these changes are already made by
commit 895e3dceeb97 ("powerpc/mce: Handle UE event for memcpy_mcsafe")We have masses of code that supposedly abstracts the MCE logic. How did we end up in the situation where we're having to write the same fix twice for different platforms? cheers
