powerpc/64: Add macros for annotating the destination of rfid/hrfid
CVE-2017-5754 BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756121 commit 50e51c13 upstream. The rfid/hrfid ((Hypervisor) Return From Interrupt) instruction is used for switching from the kernel to userspace, and from the hypervisor to the guest kernel. However it can and is also used for other transitions, eg. from real mode kernel code to virtual mode kernel code, and it's not always clear from the code what the destination context is. To make it clearer when reading the code, add macros which encode the expected destination context. Signed-off-by:Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
