Re: [PATCH v5 05/10] powerpc/signal64: Remove TM ifdefery in middle of if/else block

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure what 'the messy ifdef' and 'the if-else for TM' is (yet):
perhaps you could start the commit message with a tiny bit of
background.

I think you can get rid of all the ifdefs in _this function_ by
providing a couple of stubs:

My only concern here was whether it was valid to access
 	if (__get_user(msr, &uc->uc_mcontext.gp_regs[PT_MSR]))
if CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM was not defined, but I didn't think of
any obvious reason why it wouldn't be...

I wondered if that comment still makes sense in the absence of the
ifdef. It is preserved in commit f1cf4f93de2f ("powerpc/signal32: Remove
ifdefery in middle of if/else"), and I can't figure out how you would
improve it, so I guess it's probably good as it is.

That seems reasonable to me.

Kind regards,
