There is a hardware bug in some POWER9 processors where a treclaim in
fake suspend mode can cause an inconsistency in the XER[SO] bit across
the threads of a core, the workaround being to force the core into SMT4
when doing the treclaim.
The FAKE_SUSPEND bit (bit 10) in the PSSCR is used to control whether a
thread is in fake suspend or real suspend. The important difference here
being that thread reconfiguration is blocked in real suspend but not
fake suspend mode.
When we exit a guest which was in fake suspend mode, we force the core
into SMT4 while we do the treclaim in kvmppc_save_tm_hv().
However on the new exit path introduced with the function
kvmhv_run_single_vcpu() we restore the host PSSCR before calling
kvmppc_save_tm_hv() which means that if we were in fake suspend mode we
put the thread into real suspend mode when we clear the
PSSCR[FAKE_SUSPEND] bit. This means that we block thread reconfiguration
and the thread which is trying to get the core into SMT4 before it can
do the treclaim spins forever since it itself is blocking thread
reconfiguration. The result is that that core is essentially lost.
This results in a trace such as:

To fix this we preserve the PSSCR[FAKE_SUSPEND] bit until we call
kvmppc_save_tm_hv() which will mean the core can get into SMT4 and
perform the treclaim. Note kvmppc_save_tm_hv() clears the
PSSCR[FAKE_SUSPEND] bit again so there is no need to explicitly do that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
