From 1b2797dcc9f0ad89bc382ace26c6baafbc7e33c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 21:56:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86, mce: improve mce_get_rip Assume IP on the stack is valid when either EIPV or RIPV are set. This influences whether the machine check exception handler decides to return or panic. This fixes a test case in the mce-test suite and is more compliant to the specification. This currently only makes a difference in a artificial testing scenario with the mce-test test suite. Also in addition do not force the EIPV to be valid with the exact register MSRs, and keep in trust the CS value on stack even if MSR is available.
