Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/tm: Limit TM code inside PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM
Commit e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint") moved a code block around and this block uses a 'msr' variable outside of the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM, however the 'msr' variable is declared inside a CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, causing a possible error when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTION_MEM is not defined.
error: 'msr' undeclared (first use in this function)
This is not causing a compilation error in the mainline kernel, because 'msr' is being used as an argument of MSR_TM_ACTIVE(), which is defined as the following when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is *not* set:
#define MSR_TM_ACTIVE(x) 0
This patch just fixes this issue avoiding the 'msr' variable usage outside the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, avoiding trusting in the MSR_TM_ACTIVE() definition.
