2017-06-20	x86/MCE, xen/mcelog: Make /dev/mcelog registration messages more precise	Juergen Gross	1	-0/+2
	When running under Xen as dom0, /dev/mcelog is being provided by Xen instead of the normal mcelog character device of the MCE core. Convert an error message being issued by the MCE core in this case to an informative message that Xen has registered the device.

2015-03-16	xen/mce: fix up xen_late_init_mcelog() error handling	Dan Carpenter	1	-7/+18
	Static checkers complain about the missing call to misc_deregister() if bind_virq_for_mce() fails. Also I reversed the tests so that we do error handling instead of success handling. That way we just have a series of function calls instead of the more complicated nested if statements in the original code. Let's preserve the error codes as well.

2013-06-28	xen: Convert printks to pr_<level>	Joe Perches	1	-22/+14
	Convert printks to pr_<level> (excludes printk(KERN_DEBUG...) to be more consistent throughout the xen subsystem. Add pr_fmt with KBUILD_MODNAME or "xen:" KBUILD_MODNAME Coalesce formats and add missing word spaces Add missing newlines Align arguments and reflow to 80 columns Remove DRV_NAME from formats as pr_fmt adds the same content This does change some of the prefixes of these messages but it also does make them more consistent.

2012-07-19	xen/mce: add .poll method for mcelog device driver	Liu, Jinsong	1	-0/+18
	If a driver leaves its poll method NULL, the device is assumed to be both readable and writable without blocking. This patch add .poll method to xen mcelog device driver, so that when mcelog use system calls like ppoll or select, it would be blocked when no data available, and avoid spinning at CPU.

2012-07-19	xen/mce: schedule a workqueue to avoid sleep in atomic context	Liu, Jinsong	1	-7/+11
	copy_to_user might sleep and print a stack trace if it is executed in an atomic spinlock context. Like this: (XEN) CMCI: send CMCI to DOM0 through virq BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/konradinux/kernel.h:199 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4581, name: mcelog Pid: 4581, comm: mcelog Tainted: G O 3.5.0-rc1upstream-00003-g149000b-dirty #1 [<ffffffff8109ad9a>] __might_sleep+0xda/0x100 [<ffffffff81329b0b>] xen_mce_chrdev_read+0xab/0x140 [<ffffffff81148945>] vfs_read+0xc5/0x190 [<ffffffff81148b0c>] sys_read+0x4c/0x90 [<ffffffff815bd039>] system_call_fastpath+0x16 This patch schedule a workqueue for IRQ handler to poll the data, and use mutex instead of spinlock, so copy_to_user sleep in atomic context would not occur.

2012-07-19	xen/mce: Add mcelog support for Xen platform	Liu, Jinsong	1	-0/+392
	When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first, and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging. This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically self-contained, not touching other kernel components. By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information, like what they did under native Linux.
