Subject: [PATCH 4.4 147/312] powerpc/tm: Fix stack pointer corruption in __tm_recheckpoint()

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

commit 6bcb80143e792becfd2b9cc6a339ce523e4e2219 upstream.

At the start of __tm_recheckpoint() we save the kernel stack pointer
(r1) in SPRG SCRATCH0 (SPRG2) so that we can restore it after the
trecheckpoint.

Unfortunately, the same SPRG is used in the SLB miss handler.  If an
SLB miss is taken between the save and restore of r1 to the SPRG, the
SPRG is changed and hence r1 is also corrupted.  We can end up with
the following crash when we start using r1 again after the restore
from the SPRG:

We hit this on large memory machines (> 2TB) but it can also be hit on
smaller machines when 1TB segments are disabled.

To hit this, you also need to be virtualised to ensure SLBs are
periodically removed by the hypervisor.

This patches moves the saving of r1 to the SPRG to the region where we
are guaranteed not to take any further SLB misses.
