The sprgs are a set of 4 general purpose sprs provided for software use. SPRG3 is special in that it can also be read from userspace. Thus it is used on linux to store the cpu and numa id of the process to speed up syscall access to this information. This register is overwritten with the guest value on kvm guest entry, and so needs to be restored on exit again. Thus restore the value on the guest exit path in kvmhv_p9_guest_entry().

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.
