From e08491c6beac38ab214eb203c0cee0bcccc60d51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Breno Leitao Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2017 11:40:59 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kernel: Initialize load_tm on task creation Currently tsk->thread.load_tm is not initialized in the task creation and can contain garbage on a new task. This is an undesired behaviour, since it affects the timing to enable and disable the transactional memory laziness (disabling and enabling the MSR TM bit, which affects TM reclaim and recheckpoint in the scheduling process).
