[PATCH 1/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix CONFIG_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n crash

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2021-07-16 02:43:55
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for powerpc (kvm/powerpc), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

When running CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST, HFSCR[TM] is set for the guest
even if the host has CONFIG_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n, which causes it to be
unprepared to handle guest exits while transactional.

Normal guests don't have a problem because the HTM capability will not
be advertised, but a rogue or buggy one could crash the host.

Reported-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <redacted>
Fixes: 4bb3c7a0208f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around transactional memory bugs in POWER9")
