** Description changed:

- This issue only exist in Bionic P8:
+ == Justification ==
+ ptrace-tm-spd-gpr in powerpc/ptrace will fail with Power8 on Bionic:
  $ sudo ./ptrace-tm-spd-gpr 
  test: ptrace_tm_spd_gpr
  tags: git_version:c186097-dirty
  !! killing ptrace_tm_spd_gpr
  !! child died by signal 15
  failure: ptrace_tm_spd_gpr
  
+ This is due to a segmentation fault that happens on the child process
+ prior to setting cptr[2] = 1. This causes the parent process to wait
+ forever at 'while (!pptr[2])' and the test to be killed by the test
+ harness framework by timeout.
+ 
+ == Fix ==
+ 48dc0ef (selftests/powerpc: Fix ptrace tm failure)
+ This patch can be cherry-picked for Bionic.
+ 
+ == Test == 
+ After the patch, the test will pass with:
+ $ sudo ./ptrace-tm-spd-gpr
+ test: ptrace_tm_spd_gpr
+ tags: git_version:c186097-dirty
+ success: ptrace_tm_spd_gpr
+ 
+ == Regression potential ==
+ None, change for the testing tool only.
