Allow user programs to write mce records into /dev/mcelog. When they do
that a fake machine check is triggered to test the machine check code.
This uses the MCE MSR wrappers added earlier.
The implementation is straight forward. There is a struct mce record
per CPU and the MCE MSR accesses get data from there if there is valid
data injected there. This allows to test the machine check code
relatively realistically because only the lowest layer of hardware
access is intercepted.
The test suite and injector are available at

The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.
Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.
This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.
I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.
But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.
I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.
The new code is default y for more coverage.
Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.
This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.
The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.
Forward ported/heavily changed version of old patch, original patch
included review/fixes from Thomas Gleixner, Bert Wesarg.

First 32bit doesn't have oops_begin, so it's a barrier of using
this code on 32bit.
On closer examination it turns out oops_begin is not
a good idea in a machine check panic anyways. All oops_begin
does it so check for recursive/parallel oopses and implement the
"wait on oops" heuristic. But there's actually no good reason
to lock machine checks against oopses or prevent them
from recursion. Also "wait on oops" does not really make
sense for a machine check too.
Replace it with a manual bust_spinlocks/console_verbose.

i386 has no idle notifiers, but the 64bit machine check
code uses them to wake up mcelog from a fatal machine check
exception.
For corrected machine checks found by the poller or
threshold interrupts going through an idle notifier is not needed
because the wake_up can is just done directly and doesn't
need the idle notifier. It is only needed for logging
exceptions.
To be honest I never liked the idle notifier even though I signed
off on it. On closer investigation the code actually turned out
to be nearly. Right now machine check exceptions on x86 are always
unrecoverable (lead to panic due to PCC), which means we never execute
the idle notifier path.
The only exception is the somewhat weird tolerant==3 case, which
ignores PCC. I'll fix this in a future patch in a much cleaner way.
So remove the "mcelog wakeup through idle notifier" code
from 64bit.
This allows to compile the 64bit machine check handler on 32bit
which doesn't have idle notifiers.

Quoting the comment:
* SDM documents that on family 6 bank 0 should not be written
* because it aliases to another special BIOS controlled
* register.
* But it's not aliased anymore on model 0x1a+
* Don't ignore bank 0 completely because there could be a valid
* event later, merely don't write CTL0.
This is mostly a port on the 32bit code, except that 32bit
always didn't write it and didn't have the 0x1a heuristic. I checked
with the CPU designers that the quirk is not required starting with
this model.
