[PATCH 04/11] powerpc/64: Convert the syscall exit path to use RFI_TO_USER/KERNEL
From: Michael Ellerman
Date: Mon Jan 08 2018 - 11:58:02 EST
From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>
In the syscall exit path we may be returning to user or kernel
context. We already have a test for that, because we conditionally
restore r13. So use that existing test and branch, and bifurcate the
return based on that.
