This is wrong.

msr is used at line 326:

ef75e73182949a arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c Christophe Leroy 2020-08-18  326 unsafe_put_user(msr, &frame->mc_gregs[PT_MSR], failed);

Hi Christophe,

The usage is under CONFIG_VSX, the test config (powerpc-randconfig-c003-20210821) didn't enable it which triggered this warning.

Best Regards,
Rong Chen
