Subject: [PATCH 5.2 332/413] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Signed extend decrementer value if not using large decrementer

From: Suraj Jitindar Singh <sjitindarsingh@...il.com>

commit 869537709ebf1dc865e75c3fc97b23f8acf37c16 upstream.

On POWER9 the decrementer can operate in large decrementer mode where
the decrementer is 56 bits and signed extended to 64 bits. When not
operating in this mode the decrementer behaves as a 32 bit decrementer
which is NOT signed extended (as on POWER8).

Currently when reading a guest decrementer value we don't take into
account whether the large decrementer is enabled or not, and this
means the value will be incorrect when the guest is not using the
large decrementer. Fix this by sign extending the value read when the
guest isn't using the large decrementer.
