    powerpc: Add check_if_tm_restore_required() to giveup_all() · b0f16b46
    Cyril Bur authored
    giveup_all() causes FPU/VMX/VSX facilities to be disabled in a threads
    MSR. If the thread performing the giveup was transactional, the kernel
    must record which facilities were in use before the giveup as the
    thread must have these facilities re-enabled on return to userspace.
    
    >From process.c:
     /*
      * This is called if we are on the way out to userspace and the
      * TIF_RESTORE_TM flag is set.  It checks if we need to reload
      * FP and/or vector state and does so if necessary.
      * If userspace is inside a transaction (whether active or
      * suspended) and FP/VMX/VSX instructions have ever been enabled
      * inside that transaction, then we have to keep them enabled
      * and keep the FP/VMX/VSX state loaded while ever the transaction
      * continues.  The reason is that if we didn't, and subsequently
      * got a FP/VMX/VSX unavailable interrupt inside a transaction,
      * we don't know whether it's the same transaction, and thus we
      * don't know which of the checkpointed state and the transactional
      * state to use.
      */
    
    Calling check_if_tm_restore_required() will set TIF_RESTORE_TM and
    save the MSR if needed.
