Subject: [PATCH 4.3 123/157] powerpc/tm: Block signal return setting invalid MSR state

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

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

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@...ling.org>

commit d2b9d2a5ad5ef04ff978c9923d19730cb05efd55 upstream.

Currently we allow both the MSR T and S bits to be set by userspace on
a signal return.  Unfortunately this is a reserved configuration and
will cause a TM Bad Thing exception if attempted (via rfid).

This patch checks for this case in both the 32 and 64 bit signals
code.  If both T and S are set, we mark the context as invalid.

Found using a syscall fuzzer.

Fixes: 2b0a576d15e0 ("powerpc: Add new transactional memory state to the signal context")
