When the following test case is injected with mce command, maybe user could not
get the expected result.
DATA
command cpu bank status mcg_status addr misc
(qemu) mce 1 1 0xbd00000000000000 0x05 0x1234 0x8c
Expected Result
panic type: "Fatal Machine check"
That is because each mce command can only inject the given cpu and could not
inject mce interrupt to other cpus. So user will get the following result:
panic type: "Fatal machine check on current CPU"
"broadcast" option is used for injecting dummy data into other cpus. Injecting
mce with this option the expected result could be gotten.
Usage:
Broadcast[on]
command broadcast cpu bank status mcg_status addr misc
(qemu) mce -b 1 1 0xbd00000000000000 0x05 0x1234 0x8c
Broadcast[off]
command cpu bank status mcg_status addr misc
(qemu) mce 1 1 0xbd00000000000000 0x05 0x1234 0x8c

MCE: Relay UCR MCE to guest
UCR (uncorrected recovery) MCE is supported in recent Intel CPUs,
where some hardware error such as some memory error can be reported
without PCC (processor context corrupted). To recover from such MCE,
the corresponding memory will be unmapped, and all processes accessing
the memory will be killed via SIGBUS.
For KVM, if QEMU/KVM is killed, all guest processes will be killed
too. So we relay SIGBUS from host OS to guest system via a UCR MCE
injection. Then guest OS can isolate corresponding memory and kill
necessary guest processes only. SIGBUS sent to main thread (not VCPU
threads) will be broadcast to all VCPU threads as UCR MCE.

Add MCE simulation support to qemu/kvm
KVM ioctls are used to initialize MCE simulation and inject MCE. The
real MCE simulation is implemented in Linux kernel. The Kernel part
has been merged.
