Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: ignore machine checks from boot time
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d5172f263f76ca6d588f533c0989b22521fcbac2;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] x86_64: ignore machine checks from boot time

Don't log machine check events left over from boot.  Too many BIOSes leave
bogus events in there.

This unfortunately also makes it impossible to log events that caused a
reboot.  For people with non broken BIOS there is mce=bootlog

 Machine check
 
    mce=off disable machine check
+   mce=bootlog Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
+               Disabled by default because some BIOS leave bogus ones.

    nomce (for compatibility with i386): same as mce=off
