After a treclaim, we expect to be in non-transactional state. If we don't immediately clear the current thread's MSR[TS] and we get preempted, then tm_recheckpoint_new_task() will recheckpoint and we get rescheduled in suspended transaction state.
When handling a signal caught in transactional state, handle_rt_signal64() calls get_tm_stackpointer() that treclaims the transaction using tm_reclaim_current() but without clearing the thread's MSR[TS]. This can cause the TM Bad Thing exception below if later we pagefault and get preempted trying to access the user's sigframe, using __put_user(). Afterwards, when we are rescheduled back into do_page_fault() (but now in suspended state since the thread's MSR[TS] was not cleared), upon executing 'rfid' after completion of the page fault handling, the exception is raised because a transition from suspended to non-transactional state is invalid.

The simplified sequence of events that triggers the above exception is:
... # userspace in NON-TRANSACTIONAL state tbegin # userspace in TRANSACTIONAL state signal delivery # kernelspace in SUSPENDED state handle_rt_signal64() get_tm_stackpointer() treclaim # kernelspace in NON-TRANSACTIONAL state __put_user() page fault happens. We will never get back here because of the TM Bad Thing exception.
page fault handling kicks in and we voluntarily preempt ourselves do_page_fault() __schedule() __switch_to(other_task)
our task is rescheduled and we recheckpoint because the thread's MSR[TS] was not cleared __switch_to(our_task) switch_to_tm() tm_recheckpoint_new_task() trechkpt # kernelspace in SUSPENDED state
The page fault handling resumes, but now we are in suspended transaction state do_page_fault() completes rfid <----- trying to get back where the page fault happened (we were non-transactional back then) TM Bad Thing # illegal transition from suspended to non-transactional
This patch fixes that issue by clearing the current thread's MSR[TS] just after treclaim in get_tm_stackpointer() so that we stay in non-transactional state in case we are preempted. In order to make treclaim and clearing the thread's MSR[TS] atomic from a preemption perspective when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, preempt_disable/enable() is used. It's also necessary to save the previous value of the thread's MSR before get_tm_stackpointer() is called so that it can be exposed to the signal handler later in setup_tm_sigcontexts() to inform the userspace MSR at the moment of the signal delivery.
Found with tm-signal-context-force-tm kernel selftest on P8 KVM.
