[PATCH 1/6] powerpc: Move branch instruction from ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY to caller

Sun Sep 9 21:36:44 EST 2012


The first instruction in ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY is 'beq' which checkes for
exceptions coming from kernel mode. PPR value will be saved immediately after
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY and is also for user level exceptions. So moved this
branch instruction in the caller code.
