[PATCH] x86/mce: Make machine check speculation protected

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Jan 18 2018 - 10:28:39 EST


The machine check idtentry uses an indirect branch directly from the low
level code. This evades the speculation protection.

Replace it by a direct call into C code and issue the indirect call there
so the compiler can apply the proper speculation protection.
