x86/{mce,mm}: Unmap the entire page if the whole page is affected and poisoned
commit 17fae129 upstream. An interesting thing happened when a guest Linux instance took a machine check. The VMM unmapped the bad page from guest physical space and passed the machine check to the guest. Linux took all the normal actions to offline the page from the process that was using it. But then guest Linux crashed because it said there was a second machine check inside the kernel with this stack trace: do_memory_failure set_mce_nospec set_memory_uc _set_memory_uc change_page_attr_set_clr cpa_flush clflush_cache_range_opt This was odd, because a CLFLUSH instruction shouldn't raise a machine check (it isn't consuming the data). Further investigation showed that the VMM had passed in another machine check because is appeared that the guest was accessing the bad page. Fix is to check the scope of the poison by checking the MCi_MISC register. If the entire page is affected, then unmap the page. If only part of the page is affected, then mark the page as uncacheable. This assumes that VMMs will do the logical thing and pass in the "whole page scope" via the MCi_MISC register (since they unmapped the entire page).
