#1319251 — [PATCH 4.3 005/157] x86/mce: Ensure offline CPUs dont participate in rendezvous process

4.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>

commit d90167a941f62860f35eb960e1012aa2d30e7e94 upstream.

Intel's MCA implementation broadcasts MCEs to all CPUs on the
node. This poses a problem for offlined CPUs which cannot
participate in the rendezvous process:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler
  Kernel Offset: disabled
  Rebooting in 100 seconds..

More specifically, Linux does a soft offline of a CPU when
writing a 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online, which
doesn't prevent the #MC exception from being broadcasted to that
CPU.

Ensure that offline CPUs don't participate in the MCE rendezvous
and clear the RIP valid status bit so that a second MCE won't
cause a shutdown.

Without the patch, mce_start() will increment mce_callin and
wait for all CPUs. Offlined CPUs should avoid participating in
the rendezvous process altogether.
