[PATCH 4.9 04/92] powerpc/64: Convert the syscall exit path to use RFI_TO_USER/KERNEL

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>

commit b8e90cb7bc04a509e821e82ab6ed7a8ef11ba333 upstream.

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.
