The branch stable/15 has been updated by jtl: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=d83dee356dce39b0282bce1f8d7d1ba976995d57 commit d83dee356dce39b0282bce1f8d7d1ba976995d57 Author: Jonathan T. Looney <jtl@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-10-06 15:07:33 +0000 Commit: Jonathan T. Looney <jtl@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-10-28 19:14:41 +0000 x86: Reduce amount of time the MCA lock is held while emitting records The MCA spin lock is acquired in the hardware interrupt context to record MCA messages. It is also acquired by a task handler to emit those messages. Reduce the amount of time the task handler holds the lock to reduce the maximum amount of time the hardware interrupt handler may need to spin on the lock.
