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.
