Merge branch 'ras-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RAS fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"The MCE atomic notifier callchain invokes callbacks which might sleep.
Convert it to a blocking notifier and prevent calls from atomic
context"
* 'ras-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/mce: Make the MCE notifier a blocking one
