This patch series includes some improvement to Machine check handler for pseries. Patch 1 fixes an issue where machine check handler crashes kernel while accessing vmalloc-ed buffer while in nmi context. Patch 2 fixes endain bug while restoring of r3 in MCE handler. Patch 4 implements a real mode mce handler and flushes the SLBs on SLB error. Patch 5 display's the MCE error details on console. Patch 6 saves and dumps the SLB contents on SLB MCE errors to improve the debugability.
Change in V4: - Flush the SLBs in real mode mce handler to handle SLB errors for entry 0. - Allocate buffers per cpu to hold rtas error log and old slb contents. - Defer the logging of rtas error log to irq work queue.
Change in V3: - Moved patch 5 to patch 2
Change in V2: - patch 3: Display additional info (NIP and task info) in MCE error details. - patch 5: Fix endain bug while restoring of r3 in MCE handler.
