Linux reads MCG_CAP[Count] to find the number of MCA banks visible to a CPU. Currently, this number is the same for all CPUs and a warning is shown if there is a difference. The number of banks is overwritten with the MCG_CAP[Count] value of each following CPU that boots. According to the Intel SDM and AMD APM, the MCG_CAP[Count] value gives the number of banks that are available to a "processor implementation". The AMD BKDGs/PPRs further clarify that this value is per core. This value has historically been the same for every core in the system, but that is not an architectural requirement. Future AMD systems may have different MCG_CAP[Count] values per core, so the assumption that all CPUs will have the same MCG_CAP[Count] value will no longer be valid. Also, the first CPU to boot will allocate the struct mce_banks[] array using the number of banks based on its MCG_CAP[Count] value. The machine check handler and other functions use the global number of banks to iterate and index into the mce_banks[] array. So it's possible to use an out-of-bounds index on an asymmetric system where a following CPU sees a MCG_CAP[Count] value greater than its predecessors. Thus, allocate the mce_banks[] array to the maximum number of banks. This will avoid the potential out-of-bounds index since the value of mca_cfg.banks is capped to MAX_NR_BANKS. Set the value of mca_cfg.banks equal to the max of the previous value and the value for the current CPU. This way mca_cfg.banks will always represent the max number of banks detected on any CPU in the system. This will ensure that all CPUs will access all the banks that are visible to them. A CPU that can access fewer than the max number of banks will find the registers of the extra banks to be read-as-zero. Furthermore, print the resulting number of MCA banks in use. Do this in mcheck_late_init() so that the final value is printed after all CPUs have been initialized. Finally, get bank count from target CPU when doing injection with mce-inject module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
