Commit e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint") moved a code block around and this block uses a 'msr' variable outside of the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM, however the 'msr' variable is declared inside a CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, causing a possible error when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTION_MEM is not defined. error: 'msr' undeclared (first use in this function) This is not causing a compilation error in the mainline kernel, because 'msr' is being used as an argument of MSR_TM_ACTIVE(), which is defined as the following when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is *not* set: #define MSR_TM_ACTIVE(x) 0 This patch just fixes this issue avoiding the 'msr' variable usage outside the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, avoiding trusting in the MSR_TM_ACTIVE() definition.

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.
