From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 16:28:26 +0100 Subject: x86/mce: Make machine check speculation protected

From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de

commit 6f41c34d69eb005e7848716bbcafc979b35037d5 upstream.

The machine check idtentry uses an indirect branch directly from the low level code. This evades the speculation protection.

Replace it by a direct call into C code and issue the indirect call there so the compiler can apply the proper speculation protection.
