CVE-2021-47428 Affecting kernel-rt-kvm package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-kvm package and not the kernel-rt-kvm package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/64s: fix program check interrupt emergency stack path

Emergency stack path was jumping into a 3: label inside the __GEN_COMMON_BODY macro for the normal path after it had finished, rather than jumping over it. By a small miracle this is the correct place to build up a new interrupt frame with the existing stack pointer, so things basically worked okay with an added weird looking 700 trap frame on top (which had the wrong ->nip so it didn't decode bug messages either).

Fix this by avoiding using numeric labels when jumping over non-trivial macros.
