Existing kernel code can only recover from a machine check on code that is tagged in the exception table with a fault handling recovery path. Add two new fields in the task structure to pass information from machine check handler to the "task_work" that is queued to run before the task returns to user mode: + mce_vaddr: will be initialized to the user virtual address of the fault in the case where the fault occurred in the kernel copying data from a user address. This is so that kill_me_maybe() can provide that information to the user SIGBUS handler. + mce_kflags: copy of the struct mce.kflags needed by kill_me_maybe() to determine if mce_vaddr is applicable to this error. Add code to recover from a machine check while copying data from user space to the kernel. Action for this case is the same as if the user touched the poison directly; unmap the page and send a SIGBUS to the task. Use a new helper function to share common code between the "fault in user mode" case and the "fault while copying from user" case. New code paths will be activated by the next patch which sets MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN.

README
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.
