Currently it's possible that a thread on PPC64 LE has its endianness flipped inadvertently to Big-Endian resulting in a crash once the process is back from the signal handler. If giveup_all() is called when regs->msr has the bits MSR.FP and MSR.VEC disabled (and hence MSR.VSX disabled too) it returns without calling check_if_tm_restore_required() which copies regs->msr to ckpt_regs->msr if the process caught a signal whilst in transactional mode. Then once in setup_tm_sigcontexts() MSR from ckpt_regs.msr is used, but since check_if_tm_restore_required() was not called previuosly, gp_regs[PT_MSR] gets a copy of invalid MSR bits as MSR in ckpt_regs was not updated from regs->msr and so is zeroed. Later when leaving the signal handler once in sys_rt_sigreturn() the TS bits of gp_regs[PT_MSR] are checked to determine if restore_tm_sigcontexts() must be called to pull in the correct MSR state into the user context. Because TS bits are zeroed restore_tm_sigcontexts() is never called and MSR restored from the user context on returning from the signal handler has the MSR.LE (the endianness bit) forced to zero (Big-Endian). That leads, for instance, to 'nop' being treated as an illegal instruction in the following sequence: tbegin. beq 1f trap tend. 1: nop on PPC64 LE machines and the process dies just after returning from the signal handler. PPC64 BE is also affected but in a subtle way since forcing Big-Endian on a BE machine does not change the endianness. This commit fixes the issue described above by ensuring that once in setup_tm_sigcontexts() the MSR used is from regs->msr instead of from ckpt_regs->msr and by ensuring that we pull in only the MSR.FP, MSR.VEC, and MSR.VSX bits from ckpt_regs->msr. The fix was tested both on LE and BE machines and no regression regarding the powerpc/tm selftests was observed.
