In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/rtas: Fix RTAS MSR[HV] handling for Cell

The semi-recent changes to MSR handling when entering RTAS (firmware) cause crashes on IBM Cell machines. An example trace:

Unlike PAPR platforms where RTAS is only used in guests, on the IBM Cell machines Linux runs with MSR[HV] set but also uses RTAS, provided by SLOF.

Fix it by copying the MSR[HV] bit from the MSR value we've just read using mfmsr into the value used for RTAS.

It seems like we could also fix it using a…
