[ Upstream commitaee101d7b9] Commit314f6c23dd("powerpc/64s: Mask NIP before checking against SRR0") masked off the low 2 bits of the NIP value in the interrupt stack frame in case they are non-zero and mis-compare against a SRR0 register value of a CPU which always reads back 0 from the 2 low bits which are reserved. This now causes the opposite problem that an implementation which does implement those bits in SRR0 will mis-compare against the masked NIP value in which they have been cleared. QEMU is one such implementation, and this is allowed by the architecture. This can be triggered by sigfuz by setting low bits of PT_NIP in the signal context. Fix this for now by masking the SRR0 bits as well. Cleaner is probably to sanitise these values before putting them in registers or stack, but this is the quick and backportable fix.

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.
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.
