[PATCH 1/4] powerpc/tm: Save MSR to PACA before RFID

[Breno Leitao]

As other exit points, move SRR1 (MSR) into paca->tm_scratch, so, if
there is a TM Bad Thing in RFID, it is easy to understand what was the
SRR1 value being used.

[PATCH 2/4] powerpc/tm: Print scratch value

[Breno Leitao]

Usually a TM Bad Thing exception is raised due to three different problems.
a) touching SPRs in an active transaction; b) using TM instruction with the
facility disabled and c) setting a wrong MSR/SRR1 at RFID.

The two initial cases are easy to identify by looking at the instructions.
The latter case is harder, because the MSR is masked after RFID, so, it is
very useful to look at the previous MSR (SRR1) before RFID as also the
current and masked MSR.

Since MSR is saved at paca just before RFID, this patch prints it if a TM
Bad thing happen, helping to understand what is the invalid TM transition
that is causing the exception.

[PATCH 3/4] powerpc/tm: Unset MSR[TS] if not recheckpointing

There is a TM Bad Thing bug that can be caused when you return from a
signal context in a suspended transaction but with ucontext MSR[TS] unset.

This forces regs->msr[TS] to be set at syscall entrance (since the CPU
state is transactional). It also calls treclaim() to flush the transaction
state, which is done based on the live (mfmsr) MSR state.

Since user context MSR[TS] is not set, then restore_tm_sigcontexts() is not
called, thus, not executing recheckpoint, keeping the CPU state as not
transactional. When calling rfid, SRR1 will have MSR[TS] set, but the CPU
state is non transactional, causing the TM Bad Thing with the following
stack:

The same problem happens on 32-bits signal handler, and the fix is very
similar, if tm_recheckpoint() is not executed, then regs->msr[TS] should be

This patch also fixes a sparse warning related to lack of indentation when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is set.

[PATCH 4/4] selftests/powerpc: Add checks for transactional sigreturn

[Breno Leitao]

This is a new test case that creates a signal and starts a suspended
transaction inside the signal handler.

It returns from the signal handler with the CPU at suspended state, but
without setting user context MSR Transaction State (TS) field.

The kernel signal handler code should be able to handle this discrepancy
instead of crashing.

This code could be compiled and used to test 32 and 64-bits signal
handlers.
