[PATCH] powerpc/dexcr: Move HASHCHK trap handler

Fri Aug 25 11:49:10 AEST 2023


To determine if a trap was caused by a HASHCHK instruction, we inspect
the user instruction that triggered the trap. However this may sleep
if the page needs to be faulted in.

Move the HASHCHK handler logic to after we allow IRQs, which is fine
because we are only interested in HASHCHK if it's a user space trap.
