x86, mce: don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold
boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog):
MCE 0
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!
Please contact your hardware vendor
CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status:
MCi status:
Error overflow
Uncorrected error
Error enabled
Processor context corrupt
MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error
STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0
[ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error)
and f200000000000115 (... READ Error).
To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified
the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump
content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ]
Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables
lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old
behavior).
