Public bug reported:

---Problem Description---
tm_trap_test failed on P8 compat mode [16.04.04 daily build as well bionic ] 
guests on a P9 host running bionic final beta version.
 
Contact Information = srikanth/bssrika...@in.ibm.com 
 
---uname output---

16.04.04 Guest running in P8compat mode:

Linux guest 4.15.0-15-generic #16~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 5 12:18:22 UTC 
2018 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
 
18.04 guest running in P8compat mode:
Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-15-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 4 13:57:51 UTC 2018 
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

Machine Type = boston-LC 
 
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
 1. Log into P9 Ubuntu 18.04 host, take console of guest `srikanth_ubuntu160404`
2. Run TM selftests
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git;cd 
linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/;git log --oneline -1;make;make -C tm 
run_tests

We will observe one of the tm tests failing, mentioned below:

selftests: tm-trap
========================================
test: tm_trap_test
tags: git_version:c18bb39
Little-Endian machine detected. Checking if endianness flips inadvertently on 
trap in TM... yes!
failure: tm_trap_test
not ok 1..11 selftests:  tm-trap [FAIL]


Expected result: All tm selftests should have been pass on the P8 compat 
guest.. giventhat we had TM workaround patches in latest Ubuntu BIONIC host 
kernel
 
Stack trace output:
 no
 
Oops output:
 no
