Like #DB, when occurred on different ring level, i.e., from user or kernel context, #MCE needs to be handled on different stack: User #MCE on current task stack, while kernel #MCE on a dedicated stack.
This is exactly how FRED event delivery invokes an exception handler: ring 3 event on level 0 stack, i.e., current task stack; ring 0 event on the #MCE dedicated stack specified in the IA32_FRED_STKLVLS MSR. So unlike IDT, the FRED machine check entry stub doesn't do stack switch.
