Gustavo Luiz Duarte 72e2df70fb powerpc/tm: Fix clearing MSR[TS] in current when reclaiming on signal delivery 
commit 2464cc4c34 upstream.

After a treclaim, we expect to be in non-transactional state. If we
don't clear the current thread's MSR[TS] before we get preempted, then
tm_recheckpoint_new_task() will recheckpoint and we get rescheduled in
suspended transaction state.

When handling a signal caught in transactional state,
handle_rt_signal64() calls get_tm_stackpointer() that treclaims the
transaction using tm_reclaim_current() but without clearing the
thread's MSR[TS]. This can cause the TM Bad Thing exception below if
later we pagefault and get preempted trying to access the user's
sigframe, using __put_user(). Afterwards, when we are rescheduled back
into do_page_fault() (but now in suspended state since the thread's
MSR[TS] was not cleared), upon executing 'rfid' after completion of
the page fault handling, the exception is raised because a transition
from suspended to non-transactional state is invalid.

The simplified sequence of events that triggers the above exception is:

  ...				# userspace in NON-TRANSACTIONAL state
  tbegin			# userspace in TRANSACTIONAL state
  signal delivery		# kernelspace in SUSPENDED state
  handle_rt_signal64()
    get_tm_stackpointer()
      treclaim			# kernelspace in NON-TRANSACTIONAL state
    __put_user()
      page fault happens. We will never get back here because of the TM Bad Thing exception.

  page fault handling kicks in and we voluntarily preempt ourselves
  do_page_fault()
    __schedule()
      __switch_to(other_task)

  our task is rescheduled and we recheckpoint because the thread's MSR[TS] was not cleared
  __switch_to(our_task)
    switch_to_tm()
      tm_recheckpoint_new_task()
        trechkpt			# kernelspace in SUSPENDED state

  The page fault handling resumes, but now we are in suspended transaction state
  do_page_fault()    completes
  rfid     <----- trying to get back where the page fault happened (we were non-transactional back then)
  TM Bad Thing			# illegal transition from suspended to non-transactional

This patch fixes that issue by clearing the current thread's MSR[TS]
just after treclaim in get_tm_stackpointer() so that we stay in
non-transactional state in case we are preempted. In order to make
treclaim and clearing the thread's MSR[TS] atomic from a preemption
perspective when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, preempt_disable/enable() is
used. It's also necessary to save the previous value of the thread's
MSR before get_tm_stackpointer() is called so that it can be exposed
to the signal handler later in setup_tm_sigcontexts() to inform the
userspace MSR at the moment of the signal delivery.

Found with tm-signal-context-force-tm kernel selftest.

README 

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.
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.
