    powerpc/ptrace: Fix coredump since ptrace TM changes · c7a318ba
    Cyril Bur 提交于
    Commit 8d460f61 ("powerpc/process: Add the function
    flush_tmregs_to_thread") added flush_tmregs_to_thread() and included
    the assumption that it would only be called for a task which is not
    current.
    
    Although this is correct for ptrace, when generating a core dump, some
    of the routines which call flush_tmregs_to_thread() are called. This
    leads to a WARNing such as:
    
      Not expecting ptrace on self: TM regs may be incorrect

    So fix flush_tmregs_to_thread() to detect the case where it is called on
    current, and a transaction is active, and in that case flush the TM regs
    to the thread_struct.
    
    This patch also moves flush_tmregs_to_thread() into ptrace.c as it is
    only called from that file.
