A legitimate use case of the MCA infrastructure is to have the firmware log all uncorrectable errors and also, have the OS see all correctable errors. The uncorrectable, UCNA errors are usually configured to be reported through an SMI. CMCI, which is the correctable error reporting interrupt, uses SMI too and having both enabled, leads to unnecessary overhead. So what ends up happening is, people disable CMCI in the wild and leave on only the UCNA SMI. When CMCI is disabled, the MCA infrastructure resorts to polling the MCA banks. If a MCA MSR is shared between the logical threads, one error ends up getting logged multiple times as the polling runs on every logical thread. Therefore, introduce locking on the Intel side of the polling routine to prevent such duplicate error records from appearing. Based on a patch by Aristeu Rozanski <aris@ruivo.org>.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
