Ok, this return is still bugging me - we're logging the error which
caused the counter overflow but we go and explicitly clear _STATUS so
that machine_check_poll doesn't pick up the same error again.

Even though, machine_check_poll is intended to log the thresholding
error.

Which actually makes me think that that machine_check_poll is actually
completely useless there. IOW, how about that instead:

Subject: [PATCH] x86, MCE, AMD: Correct thresholding error logging

mce_setup() does not gather the content of IA32_MCG_STATUS, so it
should be read explicitly. Moreover, we need to clear IA32_MCx_STATUS
to avoid that mce_log() logs the processed threshold event again
at next time.

But we do the logging ourselves and machine_check_poll() is completely
useless there. So kill it.

I am not understanding why m.bank is assigned this value..

It only causes incorrect decoding-
[  608.832916] DEBUG: raise_amd_threshold_event
[  608.832926] [Hardware Error]: Corrected error, no action required.
[ 608.833143] [Hardware Error]: CPU:26 (15:2:0) MC165_STATUS[-|CE|MiscV|-|AddrV|-|-]: 0x8c00000000000000

[  608.833777] [Hardware Error]: cache level: RESV, tx: INSN
[  608.834034] amd_inject module loaded ...


(Obviously, as in amd_decode_mce() we switch (m->bank) for decoding the status and there is no bank 165)

OTOH, if m.bank = bank;
Then we get correct decoding info-
[   58.021978] DEBUG: raise_amd_threshold_event
