[PATCH] [7/28] x86: MCE: Log corrected errors when panicing

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Apr 07 2009 - 11:11:46 EST



Impact: bugfix

Normally the machine check handler ignores corrected errors and leaves
them to machine_check_poll(). But when panicing mcp won't run, so
log all errors.

Note: this can still miss some cases until the "early no way out"
patch later is applied too.
