From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c7def7fbdeaa25feaa19caf4a27c5d10bd8789e4 upstream. In restore_tm_sigcontexts() we take the trap value directly from the user sigcontext with no checking: err |= __get_user(regs->trap, &sc->gp_regs[PT_TRAP]); This means we can be in the kernel with an arbitrary regs->trap value. Although that's not immediately problematic, there is a risk we could trigger one of the uses of CHECK_FULL_REGS(): #define CHECK_FULL_REGS(regs) BUG_ON(regs->trap & 1) It can also cause us to unnecessarily save non-volatile GPRs again in save_nvgprs(), which shouldn't be problematic but is still wrong. It's also possible it could trick the syscall restart machinery, which relies on regs->trap not being == 0xc00 (see 9a81c16b5275 ("powerpc: fix double syscall restarts")), though I haven't been able to make that happen. Finally it doesn't match the behaviour of the non-TM case, in restore_sigcontext() which zeroes regs->trap. So change restore_tm_sigcontexts() to zero regs->trap. This was discovered while testing Nick's upcoming rewrite of the syscall entry path. In that series the call to save_nvgprs() prior to signal handling (do_notify_resume()) is removed, which leaves the low-bit of regs->trap uncleared which can then trigger the FULL_REGS() WARNs in setup_tm_sigcontexts().
