For D-side errors we print the load/store address that caused the
machine check as 'Effective address'. But the instruction that may have
caused the machine check can also be helpful, so in addition to printing
the NIP, also print the kernel function name as well.

After this patch the MCE console log would look like:

  Severe Machine check interrupt [Recovered]
    NIP [d00000001bc70194]: init_module+0x194/0x2b0 [bork_kernel]
    Initiator: CPU
    Error type: SLB [Parity]
      Effective address: d000000026de0000

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
