+Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context-switch EBB registers properly
+
+From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
+
+commit ca8efa1df1d15a1795a2da57f9f6aada6ed6b946 upstream.
+
+This adds code to save the values of three SPRs (special-purpose
+registers) used by userspace to control event-based branches (EBBs),
+which are essentially interrupts that get delivered directly to
+userspace.  These registers are loaded up with guest values when
+entering the guest, and their values are saved when exiting the
+guest, but we were not saving the host values and restoring them
+before going back to userspace.
+
+On POWER8 this would only affect userspace programs which explicitly
+request the use of EBBs and also use the KVM_RUN ioctl, since the
+only source of EBBs on POWER8 is the PMU, and there is an explicit
+enable bit in the PMU registers (and those PMU registers do get
+properly context-switched between host and guest).  On POWER9 there
+is provision for externally-generated EBBs, and these are not subject
+to the control in the PMU registers.
+
+Since these registers only affect userspace, we can save them when
+we first come in from userspace and restore them before returning to
+userspace, rather than saving/restoring the host values on every
+guest entry/exit.  Similarly, we don't need to worry about their
+values on offline secondary threads since they execute in the context
+of the idle task, which never executes in userspace.
