Tony Luck aaefca8e30 x86/mce: Don't check for the overflow bit on action optional machine checks
We currently do not process SRAO (Software Recoverable Action Optional)
machine checks if they are logged with the overflow bit set to 1 in the
machine check bank status register. This is overly conservative.

There are two cases where we could end up with an SRAO+OVER log based
on the SDM volume 3 overwrite rules in "Table 15-8. Overwrite Rules for
UC, CE, and UCR Errors"

1) First a corrected error is logged, then the SRAO error overwrites.
   The second error overwrites the first because uncorrected errors
   have a higher severity than corrected errors.
2) The SRAO error was logged first, followed by a correcetd error.
   In this case the first error is retained in the bank.

So in either case the machine check bank will contain the address
of the SRAO error. So we can process that even if the overflow bit
was set.

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.
