From 8571723a698dcc0ee16c1c63908aa99dd940ce5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chen Gong Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:02:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce Add validation check before GHES error is recorded When GHES error record is logged into mcelog kernel buffer, a validation check for physical address is necessary, which prevents reporting an invalid physical address. [Since physical address is the only useful element in this error record, we drop generating the record completely if we don't have a valid address] Signed-off-by: Chen Gong Signed-off-by: Tony Luck --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-apei.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-apei.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-apei.c index 507ea58688e2..cd8b166a1735 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-apei.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-apei.c @@ -42,7 +42,8 @@ void apei_mce_report_mem_error(int corrected, struct cper_sec_mem_err *mem_err) struct mce m; /* Only corrected MC is reported */ - if (!corrected) + if (!corrected || !(mem_err->validation_bits & + CPER_MEM_VALID_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS)) return; mce_setup(&m); -- 2.20.1
