This is pretty much unused and not really useful. What is more, all
relevant MCA hardware has recoverable machine checks support so there's
no real need to tweak MCA tolerance levels in order to *maybe* extend
machine lifetime.
So rip it out.

A rare kernel panic scenario can happen when the following conditions
are met due to an erratum on fast string copy instructions:
1) An uncorrected error.
2) That error must be in first cache line of a page.
3) Kernel must execute page_copy from the page immediately before that
page.
The fast string copy instructions ("REP; MOVS*") could consume an
uncorrectable memory error in the cache line _right after_ the desired
region to copy and raise an MCE.
Bit 0 of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE can be cleared to disable fast string
copy and will avoid such spurious machine checks. However, that is less
preferable due to the permanent performance impact. Considering memory
poison is rare, it's desirable to keep fast string copy enabled until an
MCE is seen.
Intel has confirmed the following:
1. The CPU erratum of fast string copy only applies to Skylake,
Cascade Lake and Cooper Lake generations.
Directly return from the MCE handler:
2. Will result in complete execution of the "REP; MOVS*" with no data
loss or corruption.
3. Will not result in another MCE firing on the next poisoned cache line
due to "REP; MOVS*".
4. Will resume execution from a correct point in code.
5. Will result in the same instruction that triggered the MCE firing a
second MCE immediately for any other software recoverable data fetch
errors.
6. Is not safe without disabling the fast string copy, as the next fast
string copy of the same buffer on the same CPU would result in a PANIC
MCE.
This should mitigate the erratum completely with the only caveat that
the fast string copy is disabled on the affected hyper thread thus
performance degradation.
This is still better than the OS crashing on MCEs raised on an
irrelevant process due to "REP; MOVS*' accesses in a kernel context,
e.g., copy_page.
Tested:
Injected errors on 1st cache line of 8 anonymous pages of process
'proc1' and observed MCE consumption from 'proc2' with no panic
(directly returned).
Without the fix, the host panicked within a few minutes on a
random 'proc2' process due to kernel access from copy_page.

normal functions. This is in preparation of making the MCA code
noinstr-aware
- When the kernel copies data from user addresses and it encounters a

to either an -EFAULT which is returned to the user or a short write,
making the recovery action a lot more user-friendly

The exception table entries contain the instruction address, the fixup
address and the handler address. All addresses are relative. Storing the
handler address has a few downsides:
1) Most handlers need to be exported
2) Handlers can be defined everywhere and there is no overview about the
handler types
3) MCE needs to check the handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC
can be recovered. The functionality of the handler itself is not in any
way special, but for these checks there need to be separate functions
which in the worst case have to be exported.
Some of these 'recoverable' exception fixups are pretty obscure and
just reuse some other handler to spare code. That obfuscates e.g. the
#MC safe copy functions. Cleaning that up would require more handlers
and exports
Rework the exception fixup mechanics by storing a fixup type number instead
of the handler address and invoke the proper handler for each fixup
type. Also teach the extable sort to leave the type field alone.
This makes most handlers static except for special cases like the MCE
MSR fixup and the BPF fixup. This allows to add more types for cleaning up
the obscure places without adding more handler code and exports.
There is a marginal code size reduction for a production config and it
removes _eight_ exported symbols.

If an exception needs to be handled while reading an MSR - which is in
most of the cases caused by a #GP on a non-existent MSR - then this
is most likely the incarnation of a BIOS or a hardware bug. Such bug
violates the architectural guarantee that MCA banks are present with all
MSRs belonging to them.
The proper fix belongs in the hardware/firmware - not in the kernel.
Handling an #MC exception which is raised while an NMI is being handled
would cause the nasty NMI nesting issue because of the shortcoming of
IRET of reenabling NMIs when executed. And the machine is in an #MC
context already so <Deity> be at its side.
Tracing MSR accesses while in #MC is another no-no due to tracing being
inherently a bad idea in atomic context:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x4a: call to mce_rdmsrl() leaves .noinstr.text section
so remove all that "additional" functionality from mce_rdmsrl() and
provide it with a special exception handler which panics the machine
when that MSR is not accessible.
The exception handler prints a human-readable message explaining what
the panic reason is but, what is more, it panics while in the #GP
handler and latter won't have executed an IRET, thus opening the NMI
nesting issue in the case when the #MC has happened while handling
an NMI. (#MC itself won't be reenabled until MCG_STATUS hasn't been
cleared).

The number of MCA banks is provided per logical CPU. Historically, this
number has been the same across all CPUs, but this is not an
architectural guarantee. Future AMD systems may have MCA bank counts
that vary between logical CPUs in a system.
This issue was partially addressed in
006c077041 ("x86/mce: Handle varying MCA bank counts")
by allocating structures using the maximum number of MCA banks and by
saving the maximum MCA bank count in a system as the global count. This
means that some extra structures are allocated. Also, this means that
CPUs will spend more time in the #MC and other handlers checking extra
MCA banks.
Thus, define the number of MCA banks as a per-CPU variable.
