Shenoy Hi Gautham, I agree with your logic: r3 is quite clearly corrupted in that path. So: Reviewed-by: Sam Bobroff Just one comment: Do you have a case of this causing some visible problem due to the corrupted trap number? (I'll test the patch if you do.)

[PATCH] book3s_hv_rmhandlers:Pass the correct trap argument to kvmhv_commence_exit
In guest_exit_cont we call kvmhv_commence_exit which expects the trap number as the argument. However r3 doesn't contain the trap number at this point and as a result we would be calling the function with a spurious trap number. Fix this by copying r12 into r3 before calling kvmhv_commence_exit as r12 contains the trap number Signed-off-by: Gautham R.
