The PPC_RFI_SRR_DEBUG check added by patch "powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid" has a few deficiencies. It does not fix the actual problem, it's not enabled by default, and it causes a program check interrupt which can cause more difficulties. However there are a lot of paths which may clobber SRRs or change return regs, and difficult to have a high confidence that all paths are covered without wider testing. Add a relatively low overhead always-enabled check that catches most such cases, reports once, and fixes it so the kernel can continue.

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.
