4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c76662e825f507b98938dc3bb141c4505bd4968c upstream.
When a thread forks the contents of AMR, IAMR, UAMOR registers in the
newly forked thread are not inherited.
Save the registers before forking, for content of those
registers to be automatically copied into the new thread.
Fixes: cf43d3b26452 ("powerpc: Enable pkey subsystem")
