Cyril Bur 78a3e8889b powerpc: signals: Discard transaction state from signal frames
Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal
handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the
processor in suspended state.

sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have
been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must
restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the
signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs
as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally..
>From the PowerPC ISA:
  TM Bad Thing Exception [Category: Transactional Memory]
   An attempt is made to execute a mtspr targeting a TM register in
   other than Non-transactional state.

Not doing so results in a TM Bad Thing:

It isn't clear exactly if there is really a use case for userspace
returning with a suspended transaction, however, doing so doesn't (on
its own) constitute a bad frame. As such, this patch simply discards
the transactional state of the context calling the sigreturn and
continues.
