Usually a TM Bad Thing exception is raised due to three different problems.
a) touching SPRs in an active transaction; b) using TM instruction with the

The two initial cases are easy to identify by looking at the instructions.

There is a TM Bad Thing bug that can be caused when you return from a
signal context in a suspended transaction but with ucontext MSR[TS] unset.
This forces regs->msr[TS] to be set at syscall entrance (since the CPU
state is transactional). It also calls treclaim() to flush the transaction
state,
This is a new test case that creates a signal and starts a suspended
transaction inside the signal handler.
It returns from the signal handler with the CPU at suspended state, but

This series was originally part of the series ("serial: Finish kgdb on

split it up.
It's believed that dropping into kgdb should be more robust once these
patches are applied.
Changes in v5:
- Add a comment about get_irq_regs().
-
The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was
documented as:

interrupts just did local_ir
