kvmhv_p9_guest_entry() implements a fast-path guest entry for Power9 when guest and host are both running with the Radix MMU. Currently in that path we don't save the host AMR (Authority Mask Register) value, and we always restore 0 on return to the host. That is OK at the moment because the AMR is not used for storage keys with the Radix MMU. However we plan to start using the AMR on Radix to prevent the kernel from reading/writing to userspace outside of copy_to/from_user(). In order to make that work we need to save/restore the AMR value. We only restore the value if it is different from the guest value, which is already in the register when we exit to the host. This should mean we rarely need to actually restore the value when running a modern Linux as a guest, because it will be using the same value as us.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
