From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> machine_check_early() gets called in real mode. The very first time when add_taint() is called, it prints a warning which ends up calling opal call (that uses OPAL_CALL wrapper) for writing it to console. If we get a very first machine check while we are in opal we are doomed. OPAL_CALL overwrites the PACASAVEDMSR in r13 and in this case when we are done with MCE handling the original opal call will use this new MSR on it's way back to opal_return. This usually leads unexpected behaviour or kernel to panic. Instead use the add_taint_no_warn() that does not call printk. This is broken with current FW level. We got lucky so far for not getting very first MCE hit while in OPAL. But easily reproducible on Mambo. This should go to stable as well alongwith patch 1/2. Fixes: 27ea2c420cad powerpc: Set the correct kernel taint on machine check errors.
