The transaction memory checkpoint area save/restore behavior is
triggered when VCPU qemu process is switching out/into CPU, i.e.
at kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_pr() and kvmppc_core_vcpu_load_pr().
MSR TM active state is determined by TS bits:
active: 10(transactional) or 01 (suspended)
inactive: 00 (non-transactional)
We don't "fake" TM functionality for guest. We "sync" guest virtual
MSR TM active state(10 or 01) with shadow MSR. That is to say,
we don't emulate a transactional guest with a TM inactive MSR.
TM SPR support(TFIAR/TFAR/TEXASR) has already been supported by
commit 9916d57e64 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Expose TM registers").
Math register support (FPR/VMX/VSX) will be done at subsequent
patch.
Whether TM context need to be saved/restored can be determined
by kvmppc_get_msr() TM active state:
* TM active - save/restore TM context
* TM inactive - no need to do so and only save/restore
TM SPRs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
