Nicholas Piggin aee101d7b9 powerpc/64s: Mask SRR0 before checking against the masked NIP
Commit 314f6c23dd ("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.
