Nicholas Piggin 15b4dd7981 powerpc/64s: return more carefully from sreset NMI
System Reset, being an NMI, must return more carefully than other
interrupts. It has traditionally returned via the nromal return
from exception path, but that has a number of problems.

- r13 does not get restored if returning to kernel. This is for
  interrupts which may cause a context switch, which sreset will
  never do. Interrupting OPAL (which uses a different r13) is one
  place where this causes breakage.

- It may cause several other problems returning to kernel with
  preempt or TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE if it hits at the wrong time.

It's safer just to have a simple restore and return, like machine
check which is the other NMI.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
