Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/tm: do not use r13 for tabort_syscall

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 17:27:48 +1000

tabort_syscall runs with RI=1, so a nested recoverable machine
check will load the paca into r13 and overwrite what we loaded
it with, because exceptions returning to privileged mode do not
restore r13.

This has survived testing with sc instruction inside transaction
(bare sc, not glibc syscall because glibc can tabort before sc).
Verified the transaction is failing failing with with
TM_CAUSE_SYSCALL.
