Subject: [PATCH 5.15 014/148] powerpc/rtas: Fix RTAS MSR[HV] handling for Cell

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

[ Upstream commit 91926d8b7e71aaf5f84f0cf208fc5a8b7a761050 ]

The semi-recent changes to MSR handling when entering RTAS (firmware)
cause crashes on IBM Cell machines. An example trace:

  kernel tried to execute user page (2fff01a8) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
  BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch
  Faulting instruction address: 0x2fff01a8

Unlike PAPR platforms where RTAS is only used in guests, on the IBM Cell
machines Linux runs with MSR[HV] set but also uses RTAS, provided by
SLOF.

Fix it by copying the MSR[HV] bit from the MSR value we've just read
using mfmsr into the value used for RTAS.

It seems like we could also fix it using an #ifdef CELL to set MSR[HV],
but that doesn't work because it's possible to build a single kernel
image that runs on both Cell native and pseries.
