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 (Power9 only) 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.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
