Ok, thanks

 there is caller and user, it is in another series(RAS virtualization series), not included in this series

As shown:

+int handle_guest_sei(unsigned int esr)
+{
+	int ret = -ENOENT;
+
+	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_SEI))
+		ret = ghes_notify_abort(ACPI_HEST_NOTIFY_SEI);
+
+	return ret;
+}

sorry for my late response due to resent busy, I will answer your question in another thread.

May be tomorrow.


in short, regardless the physical SError is masked or unmasked, firmware will jump to
the corresponding SEA/SEI exception vector entry. there is only one PSTATE.DAIF which will be shared by different EL,
regardless EL1,EL2, EL3.

if you have fix patch, you CC me. thanks.

do you mean SError can interrupt memory_failure work from an IRQ?
memory_failure is in an process context, and in a work queue, not IRQ context.

For the trace-point issue, may be we can consider it in the next step.
Now I am not consider the trace-point issue.

  No, it can be compiled, it is "||" not "&&"
