powerpc: Rework pseries machine check handler
Rework pseries machine check handler: - If MSR_RI isn't set, we cannot recover even if the machine check was fully recovered - Rename nonfatal to recovered - Handle RTAS_DISP_LIMITED_RECOVERY - Use BUS_MCEERR_AR instead of BUS_ADRERR - Don't check all the RTAS error log fields when receiving a synchronous machine check. Recent versions of the pseries firmware do not fill them in during a machine check and instead send a follow up error log with the detailed information. If we see a synchronous machine check, and we came from userspace then kill the task. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
