POWER9 DD2.2 and 2.3 hardware implements a "fake-suspend" mode where
certain TM instructions executed in HV=0 mode cause softpatch interrupts
so the hypervisor can emulate them and prevent problematic processor
conditions. In this fake-suspend mode, the treclaim. instruction does
not modify registers.
Unfortunately the rfscv instruction executed by the guest do not
generate softpatch interrupts, which can cause the hypervisor to lose
track of the fake-suspend mode, and it can execute this treclaim. while
not in fake-suspend mode. This modifies GPRs and crashes the hypervisor.
It's not trivial to disable scv in the guest with HFSCR now, because
they assume a POWER9 has scv available. So this fix saves and restores
checkpointed registers across the treclaim.

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.
