Hello,

does this logic apply to "Unrecoverable System Reset" as well?

Which logic do you mean?

We do call die() before checking MSR_RI in system_reset_exception():

  	/*
  	 * No debugger or crash dump registered, print logs then
  	 * panic.
  	 */
  	die("System Reset", regs, SIGABRT);
  
  	mdelay(2*MSEC_PER_SEC); /* Wait a little while for others to print */
  	add_taint(TAINT_DIE, LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE);
  	nmi_panic(regs, "System Reset");
  
  out:
  #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64
  	BUG_ON(get_paca()->in_nmi == 0);
  	if (get_paca()->in_nmi > 1)
  		die("Unrecoverable nested System Reset", regs, SIGABRT);
  #endif
  	/* Must die if the interrupt is not recoverable */
  	if (!(regs->msr & MSR_RI))
  		die("Unrecoverable System Reset", regs, SIGABRT);


So you should see the output from die("System Reset", ...) even if
MSR[RI] was clear when you took the system reset.

Indeed, replied to the wrong patch. I was looking at daf00ae71dad
("powerpc/traps: restore recoverability of machine_check interrupts")
which has very similar commit message.

Sorry about the confusion.

Thanks

Michal

cheers

Looks like book3s/32 doesn't set RI on machine check, so
checking RI before calling die() will always be fatal
allthought this is not an issue in most cases.
