[PATCH v5 01/33] powerpc: Turn off CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST in non-hypervisor mode

From: Paul Mackerras <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-08 05:38:06
Also in: kvm
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

When doing nested virtualization, it is only necessary to do the
transactional memory hypervisor assist at level 0, that is, when
we are in hypervisor mode.  Nested hypervisors can just use the TM
facilities as architected.  Therefore we should clear the
CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST bit when we are not in hypervisor mode,
along with the CPU_FTR_HVMODE bit.

Doing this will not change anything at this stage because the only
code that tests CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST is in HV KVM, which currently
can only be used when when CPU_FTR_HVMODE is set.
