KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Sanitize special-purpose register values on guest exit
commit ccec44563b18a0ce90e2d4f332784b3cb25c8e9c upstream. Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR) to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers (SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit. This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral value on guest exit.
