From: Christophe Leroy christophe.leroy@c-s.fr Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 11:58:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Fix CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG on PPC32
CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG is not selectable because it depends on PPC_32 which doesn't exists.
Fixing it leads to a deadlock due to a vital register getting clobbered in _switch().
Change dependency to PPC32 and use r0 instead of r4 in _switch()
