ISA 3 defines new encoded access authority that allows instruction
access prevention in privileged mode and allows normal access
to problem state. This patch just enables IAMR (Instruction Authority
Mask Register), enabling AMR would require more work.
I've tested this with a buggy driver and a si
ISA 3 allows for prevention of instruction fetch and execution
of user mode pages. If such an error occurs, SRR1 bit 35
reports the error. We catch and report the error in do_page_fault()

Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal
handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the
processor in suspended state.
sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have
been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must

But what does the error mean ? A buggy application ? IIUC, it indicate a
