Commita4cb3651a1("powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix lost interrupts when returning to soft-masked context") fixed the problem of pending irqs being cleared when clearing the HARD_DIS bit, but then it didn't clear the bit at all. This change clears HARD_DIS without affecting other bits in the mask. When an interrupt hits in a soft-masked section that has MSR[EE]=1, it can hard disable and set PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS, which must be cleared when returning to the EE=1 caller (unless it was set due to a MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt becoming pending). Failure to clear this leaves the returned-to context running with MSR[EE]=1 and PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS, which confuses irq assertions and could be dangerous for code that might test the flag. This was observed in a hash MMU kernel where a kernel hash fault hits in a local_irqs_disabled region that has EE=1. The hash fault also runs with EE=1, then as it returns, a decrementer hits in the restart section and the irq restart code hard-masks which sets the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag, which is not clear when the original context is returned to.

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.
