Subject[PATCH percpu/for-3.18-fixes] s390: fix machine check regression caused by the conversion from __get_cpu_var() to this_cpu_ptr()
From 1bb43105791dae7e9d4d1b1047729b12c5d5c3be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Commit eb7e7d766326 ("s390: Replace __get_cpu_var uses") broke machine
check handling.

We copy machine check information from per-cpu to a stack variable for
local processing. Next we should zap the per-cpu variable, not the
stack variable.

Sorry about the delay. Was on vacation.

Patch applied to percpu/for-3.18-fixes w/ minor updates to the patch
subject and description. Will push out to Linus soon.

Thanks.
