Current AMD systems have unique MCA banks per logical CPU even though the type of the banks may all align to the same bank number. Each CPU will have control of a set of MCA banks in the hardware and these are not shared with other CPUs. For example, bank 0 may be the Load-Store Unit on every logical CPU, but each bank 0 is a unique structure in the hardware. In other words, there isn't a *single* Load-Store Unit at MCA bank 0 that all logical CPUs share. This idea extends even to non-core MCA banks. For example, CPU0 and CPU4 may see a Unified Memory Controller at bank 15, but each CPU is actually seeing a unique hardware structure that is not shared with other CPUs. Because the MCA banks are all unique hardware structures, it would be good to control them in a more granular way. For example, if there is a known issue with the Floating Point Unit on CPU5 and a user wishes to disable an error type on the Floating Point Unit, then it would be good to do this only for CPU5 rather than all CPUs. Also, future AMD systems may have heterogeneous MCA banks. Meaning the bank numbers may not necessarily represent the same types between CPUs. For example, bank 20 visible to CPU0 may be a Unified Memory Controller and bank 20 visible to CPU4 may be a Coherent Slave. So granular control will be even more necessary should the user wish to control specific MCA banks. Split the device attributes from struct mce_bank leaving only the MCA bank control fields. Make struct mce_banks[] per_cpu in order to have more granular control over individual MCA banks in the hardware. Allocate the device attributes statically based on the maximum number of MCA banks supported. The sysfs interface will use as many as needed per CPU. Currently, this is set to mca_cfg.banks, but will be changed to a per_cpu bank count in a future patch. Allocate the MCA control bits statically. This is in order to avoid locking warnings when memory is allocated during secondary CPUs' init sequences. Also, remove the now unnecessary return values from __mcheck_cpu_mce_banks_init() and __mcheck_cpu_cap_init(). Redo the sysfs store/show functions to handle the per_cpu mce_banks[].

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.
