[Bug 1763685] Re: Fix for flushing TM on coredump only if CPU has TM feature
Commit c1fa0768a8713b135848f78fd43ffc208d8ded70 is already in Artful as
of version: Ubuntu-4.13.0-17.20. It came in with the 4.13.5 upstream
stable updates.
Commit c1fa0768a8713b135848f78fd43ffc208d8ded70 is not in upstream
stable v4.4.y. This is probably because the commit needs a back port
for v4.4. I performed a back port to the Xenial 4.4 kernel and built a
test kernel with it.
The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1763685
Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?
Note, to test this kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and
linux-image-extra .deb packages.
Thanks in advance!

Problem description
======================
Fix for flushing TM on coredump only if CPU has TM feature
---Additional Hardware Info---
POWER9/POWER8/compat mode
Machine Type = P9 baremetal + VM (POWER9, POWER8, Compat mode)
---Steps to Reproduce---
On POWER9 machines it's possible that TM is disabled for use by the VMs and if a coredump is generated in the VM it will crash since it will execute TM instructions when coredumping if a check is not present on the VM's kernel. Since POWER9 can run VM on P8 compatibility mode, it's necessary to patch all kernels that run on compat mode as well.

== Comment: #1 - Gustavo Bueno Romero <gromero@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2018-04-12 17:24:21 ==
Dear maintainer, please cherry-pick the fix alreayd available upstream containing the additional check to avoid the issue here described. It must apply cleanly on stable kernels:
"powerpc/tm: Flush TM only if CPU has TM feature":
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c1fa0768a8713b135848f78fd43ffc208d8ded70
Please cherry-pick the pointed out fix and apply it to kernel:
HWE 4.x
HWE 4.13
HWE-edge 4.15 already has the fix in place.
