Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal
handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the
processor in suspended state.

sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have
been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must
restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the
signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs
as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally..
From the PowerPC ISA:
  TM Bad Thing Exception [Category: Transactional Memory]
   An attempt is made to execute a mtspr targeting a TM register in
   other than Non-transactional state.

Not doing so results in a TM Bad Thing:

It isn't clear exactly if there is really a use case for userspace
returning with a suspended transaction, however, doing so doesn't (on
its own) constitute a bad frame. As such, this patch simply discards
the transactional state of the context calling the sigreturn and
continues.

Maybe a little picky here:
Per my understanding, the TRANSACTIONAL state will be failed in system
call common entry. The only expected state to prevent here is SUSPEND 
state.
Should we use MSR_TM_SUSPENDED(mfmsr()) here and BUG_ON
MSR_TM_TRANSACTIONAL(mfmsr())?  -- If it is transactional state, something
 is wrong with kernel. 

Others looks good to me.

Thanks,
- Simon

That is the case yes.

I'm happy to change it to MSR_TM_SUSPENDED.

We should decide what the result of getting here with TRANSACTIONAL is.
I see two posibilities:
1. the reclaim will solve the problem and we can continue, there is
obviously a bug somewhere else but we think it doesn't affect us here
and we *hope* it will be contained elsewhere.
2. We think seeing TRANSACTIONAL here means we have a problem that is
going to lead to corruption of state such that bad data will propage,
in which case I think a BUG_ON() is a good idea.

I'm more in favour of 1, there doesn't seem to be any other way to get
here but through syscall entry, this kind of bug should probably be
caught more generally. In that case I would say that checking ACTIVE is
good since we know that we WILL blow up if ACTIVE and we don't do a
reclaim.

Maybe now that I'm thinking about it, change it to SUSPENDED but no
BUG_ON(), as I just said, we'll do a Bad Thing anyway, which will
reveal the problem.

I have to send another version anyway as it doesn't seem to be working
for 32bit.
