This makes sure that MSR "partial-function" bits are not transferred
to SRR1 when delivering an interrupt. This was causing failures in
guests running kernels that include commit f3d96e698e ("powerpc/mm:
Overhaul handling of bad page faults", 2017-07-19), which added code
to check bits of SRR1 on instruction storage interrupts (ISIs) that
indicate a bad page fault. The symptom was that a guest user program
that handled a signal and attempted to return from the signal handler
would get a SIGBUS signal and die.
The code that generated ISIs and some other interrupts would
previously set bits in the guest MSR to indicate the interrupt status
and then call kvmppc_book3s_queue_irqprio(). This technique no
longer works now that kvmppc_inject_interrupt() is masking off those
bits. Instead we make kvmppc_core_queue_data_storage() and
kvmppc_core_queue_inst_storage() call kvmppc_inject_interrupt()
directly, and make sure that all the places that generate ISIs or
DSIs call kvmppc_core_queue_{data,inst}_storage instead of
kvmppc_book3s_queue_irqprio().

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.
