[ Upstream commit b03897cf318dfc47de33a7ecbc7655584266f034 ]
On 64-bit servers, SPRN_SPRG3 and its userspace read-only mirror SPRN_USPRG3 are used as userspace VDSO write and read registers respectively.
SPRN_SPRG3 is lost when we enter stop4 and above, and is currently not restored. As a result, any read from SPRN_USPRG3 returns zero on an exit from stop4 and above.
Thus in this situation, on POWER9, any call from sched_getcpu() always returns zero, as on powerpc, we call __kernel_getcpu() which relies upon SPRN_USPRG3 to report the CPU and NUMA node information.
Fix this by restoring SPRN_SPRG3 on wake up from a deep stop state with the sprg_vdso value that is cached in PACA.
Fixes: e1c1cfed5432 ("powerpc/powernv: Save/Restore additional SPRs for stop4 cpuidle")

What stable tree(s) do you want this applied to?
I've now guessed that it is 4.14.y. If that's not the case, please let me know.
