[PATCH 4.8 110/125] powerpc: Always restore FPU/VEC/VSX if hardware transactional memory in use

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@xxxxxxxxx>

commit dc16b553c949e81f37555777dc7bab66d78285a7 upstream.

Comment from arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:967:
 If userspace is inside a transaction (whether active or
 suspended) and FP/VMX/VSX instructions have ever been enabled
 inside that transaction, then we have to keep them enabled
 and keep the FP/VMX/VSX state loaded while ever the transaction
 continues.  The reason is that if we didn't, and subsequently
 got a FP/VMX/VSX unavailable interrupt inside a transaction,
 we don't know whether it's the same transaction, and thus we
 don't know which of the checkpointed state and the ransactional
 state to use.

restore_math() restore_fp() and restore_altivec() currently may not
restore the registers. It doesn't appear that this is more serious
than a performance penalty. If the math registers aren't restored the
userspace thread will still be run with the facility disabled.
Userspace will not be able to read invalid values. On the first access
it will take an facility unavailable exception and the kernel will
detected an active transaction, at which point it will abort the
transaction. There is the possibility for a pathological case
preventing any progress by transactions, however, transactions
are never guaranteed to make progress.
