Yazen Ghannam 7f52e9846c x86/mce/inject: Clear test status value 
[ Upstream commit 6175b40775 ]

AMD systems generally allow MCA "simulation" where MCA registers can be
written with valid data and the full MCA handling flow can be tested by
software.

However, the platform on Scalable MCA systems, can prevent software from
writing data to the MCA registers. There is no architectural way to
determine this configuration. Therefore, the MCE injection module will
check for this behavior by writing and reading back a test status value.
This is done during module init, and the check can run on any CPU with
any valid MCA bank.

If MCA_STATUS writes are ignored by the platform, then there are no side
effects on the hardware state.

If the writes are not ignored, then the test status value will remain in
the hardware MCA_STATUS register. It is likely that the value will not
be overwritten by hardware or software, since the tested CPU and bank
are arbitrary. Therefore, the user may see a spurious, synthetic MCA
error reported whenever MCA is polled for this CPU.

Clear the test value immediately after writing it. It is very unlikely
that a valid MCA error is logged by hardware during the test. Errors
that cause an #MC won't be affected.

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.
