If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Piggin commit cc7786d3ee7e3c979799db834b528db2c0834c2e upstream. tabort_syscall runs with RI=1, so a nested recoverable machine check will load the paca into r13 and overwrite what we loaded it with, because exceptions returning to privileged mode do not restore r13.
