Commit 46a704f8409f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Preserve userspace HTM state properly", 2017-06-15) added code which assumes that the kernel is able to handle a TM (transactional memory) unavailable interrupt from userspace by reloading the TM-related registers and enabling TM for the process. That ability was added in the 4.9 kernel; earlier kernel versions simply panic on getting the TM unavailable interrupt. Since commit 46a704f8409f has been backported to the 4.4 stable tree as commit 824b9506e4f2, 4.4.75 and subsequent versions are vulnerable to a userspace-triggerable panic. This patch fixes the problem by explicitly reloading the TM-related registers before returning to userspace, rather than disabling TM for the process. Commit 46a704f8409f also failed to enable TM for the kernel, leading to a TM unavailable interrupt in the kernel, causing an oops. This fixes that problem too, by enabling TM before accessing the TM registers. That problem is fixed upstream by the patch "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable TM before accessing TM registers".
