3.2.87-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 178f358208ceb8b38e5cff3f815e0db4a6a70a07 upstream.
IBM bit 31 (for the rest of us - bit 0) is a reserved field in the
instruction definition of mtspr and mfspr. Hardware is encouraged to
(and does) ignore it.
As a result, if userspace executes an mtspr DSCR with the reserved bit
set, we get a DSCR facility unavailable exception. The kernel fails to
match against the expected value/mask, and we silently return to
userspace to try and re-execute the same mtspr DSCR instruction. We
loop forever until the process is killed.
We should do something here, and it seems mirroring what hardware does
is the better option vs killing the process. While here, relax the
matching of mfspr PVR too.
