The x86 architecture recently added some new machine check status bits: S(ignalled) and AR (Action-Required). Signalled allows to check if a specific event caused an exception or was just logged through CMCI. AR allows the kernel to decide if an event needs immediate action or can be delayed or ignored. Implement support for these new status bits. mce_severity() uses the new bits to grade the machine check correctly and decide what to do. The exception handler uses AR to decide to kill or not. The S bit is used to separate events between the poll/CMCI handler and the exception handler. Classical UC always leads to panic. That was true before anyways because the existing CPUs always passed a PCC with it. Also corrects the rules whether to kill in user or kernel context and how to handle missing RIPV. The machine check handler largely uses the mce-severity grading engine now instead of making its own decisions. This means the logic is centralized in one place. This is useful because it has to be evaluated multiple times. v2: Some rule fixes; Add AO events Fix RIPV, RIPV|EIPV order (Ying Huang) Fix UCNA with AR=1 message (Ying Huang) Add comment about panicing in m_c_p.
