[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 55/70] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Sanitize special-purpose register values on guest exit

[Kamal Mostafa]

v3.19.8-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus at samba.org>

commit ccec44563b18a0ce90e2d4f332784b3cb25c8e9c upstream.

Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value.  It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.

This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.
