commit cd813e1cd7122f2c261dce5b54d1e0c97f80e1a5 upstream.
During Machine Check interrupt on pseries platform, register r3 points RTAS extended event log passed by hypervisor. Since hypervisor uses r3 to pass pointer to rtas log, it stores the original r3 value at the start of the memory (first 8 bytes) pointed by r3. Since hypervisor stores this info and rtas log is in BE format, linux should make sure to restore r3 value in correct endian format.
Without this patch when MCE handler, after recovery, returns to code that that caused the MCE may end up with Data SLB access interrupt for invalid address followed by kernel panic or hang.
