commitd65dfc81bbupstream. The AMD severity grading function was introduced in kernel 4.1. The current logic can possibly give MCE_AR_SEVERITY for uncorrectable errors in kernel context. The system may then get stuck in a loop as memory_failure() will try to handle the bad kernel memory and find it busy. Return MCE_PANIC_SEVERITY for all UC errors IN_KERNEL context on AMD systems. After:b2f9d678e2("x86/mce: Check for faults tagged in EXTABLE_CLASS_FAULT exception table entries") was accepted in v4.6, this issue was masked because of the tail-end attempt at kernel mode recovery in the #MC handler. However, uncorrectable errors IN_KERNEL context should always be considered unrecoverable and cause a panic.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
