Nicholas Piggin ae7aaecc3f powerpc/64s: system call rfscv workaround for TM bugs
The rfscv instruction does not work correctly with the fake-suspend mode
in POWER9, which can end up with the hypervisor restoring an incorrect
checkpoint.

Work around this by setting the _TIF_RESTOREALL flag if a system call
returns to a transaction active state, causing rfid to be used instead
of rfscv to return, which will do the right thing. The contents of the
registers are irrelevant because they will be overwritten in this case
anyway.

Fixes: 7fa95f9ada ("powerpc/64s: system call support for scv/rfscv instructions")

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.
