The current code is rather complex and caused a lot of subtle and hard to debug bugs in the past. Simplify the code by calling the system_call handler with interrupts disabled, save machine state, and re-enable them later. This requires significant changes to the machine check handling code as well. When the machine check interrupt arrived while being in kernel mode the new code will signal pending machine checks with a SIGP external call. When userspace was interrupted, the handler will switch to the kernel stack and directly execute s390_handle_mcck().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
