The Facility Status and Control Register is a privileged SPR that defines the availability of some features in problem state. Since it can be written by the guest, we must restore it to the previous host value after guest exit. This restoration is currently done by taking the value from current->thread.fscr, which in the P9 path is not enough anymore because the guest could context switch the QEMU thread, causing the guest-current value to be saved into the thread struct. The above situation manifested when running a QEMU linked against a libc with System Call Vectored support, which causes scv instructions to be run by QEMU early during the guest boot (during SLOF), at which point the FSCR is 0 due to guest entry. After a few scv calls (1 to a couple hundred), the context switching happens and the QEMU thread runs with the guest value, resulting in a Facility Unavailable interrupt. This patch saves and restores the host value of FSCR in the inner guest entry loop in a way independent of current->thread.fscr. The old way of doing it is still kept in place because it works for the old entry path. Signed-off-by: Fabiano Rosas <farosas@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
