Linus Torvalds 158405e888 Merge tag 'ras_core_for_v5.16_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip ...

Pull RAS updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Get rid of a bunch of function pointers used in MCA land in favor of
   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
   machine check, a SIGBUS is sent to that process. Change this action
   to either an -EFAULT which is returned to the user or a short write,
   making the recovery action a lot more user-friendly
