From 380851bc6b1b4107c61dfa2997f9095dcf779336 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:39:33 +0100 Subject: x86, mce: use force_sig_info to kill process in machine check Impact: bug fix (with tolerant == 3) do_exit cannot be called directly from the exception handler because it can sleep and the exception handler runs on the exception stack. Use force_sig() instead. Based on a earlier patch by Ying Huang who debugged the problem. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: H.
