[ Upstream commit 1f50cc1705350a4697923203fedd7d8fb1087fe2 ]
The h_cede_tm kvm-unit-test currently fails when run inside an L1 guest via the guest/nested hypervisor.
./run-tests.sh -v ... TESTNAME=h_cede_tm TIMEOUT=90s ACCEL= ./powerpc/run powerpc/tm.elf -smp 2,threads=2 -machine cap-htm=on -append "h_cede_tm" FAIL h_cede_tm (2 tests, 1 unexpected failures)
While the test relates to transactional memory instructions, the actual failure is due to the return code of the H_CEDE hypercall, which is reported as 224 instead of 0. This happens even when no TM instructions are issued.
224 is the value placed in r3 to execute a hypercall for H_CEDE, and r3 is where the caller expects the return code to be placed upon return.
In the case of guest running under a nested hypervisor, issuing H_CEDE causes a return from H_ENTER_NESTED. In this case H_CEDE is specially-handled immediately rather than later in kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall() as with most other hcalls, but we forget to set the return code for the caller, hence why kvm-unit-test sees the 224 return code and reports an error.
Guest kernels generally don't check the return value of H_CEDE, so that likely explains why this hasn't caused issues outside of kvm-unit-tests so far.
Fix this by setting r3 to 0 after we finish processing the H_CEDE.
