powerpc: do_notify_resume can be called with bad thread_info flags argument
commit 808be314 upstream. Back in 7230c564 ("powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling") we added a call out to restore_interrupts() (written in c) before calling do_notify_resume: bl restore_interrupts addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD bl do_notify_resume Unfortunately do_notify_resume takes two arguments, the second one being the thread_info flags: void do_notify_resume(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long thread_info_flags) We do populate r4 (the second argument) earlier, but restore_interrupts() is free to muck it up all it wants. My guess is the gcc compiler gods shone down on us and its register allocator never used r4. Sometimes, rarely, luck is on our side. LLVM on the other hand did trample r4.
