Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/tm: Fix clearing MSR[TS] in current when reclaiming
on signal delivery
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.

I took these two additional patches (which looks like fixes on their
own) and queued all 3 for 4.14 and 4.9:
92fb8690bd04 ("powerpc/tm: P9 disable transactionally suspended sigcontexts")
1c200e63d055 ("powerpc/tm: Fix endianness flip on trap")
The 4.4 backport looks a bit more complex.
