Zhiquan Li d67e43be0e x86/mce: Mark fatal MCE's page as poison to avoid panic in the kdump kernel
[ Upstream commit 9f3b130048bfa2e44a8cfb1b616f826d9d5d8188 ]

Memory errors don't happen very often, especially fatal ones. However,
in large-scale scenarios such as data centers, that probability
increases with the amount of machines present.

When a fatal machine check happens, mce_panic() is called based on the
severity grading of that error. The page containing the error is not
marked as poison.

However, when kexec is enabled, tools like makedumpfile understand when
pages are marked as poison and do not touch them so as not to cause
a fatal machine check exception again while dumping the previous
kernel's memory.

Therefore, mark the page containing the error as poisoned so that the
kexec'ed kernel can avoid accessing the page.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
