[ Upstream commit b6b1c3ce06ca438eb24e0f45bf0e63ecad0369f5 ]

RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).

The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.

Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.

RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":

  R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
  its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
  0 when in the critical regions.

Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real mode, 32 bits big endian mode and Recoverable
Interrupt is loaded. In the case MSR[S] is set, it will remain set while
entering RTAS as only urfid can unset it (thanks Fabiano).

In addition a check is added in do_enter_rtas() to detect calls made with
MSR[RI] unset, as we are forcing it on later.

This patch has been tested on the following machines:

<title>powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto</title>

<id>1e688dd2a3d6759d416616ff07afc4bb836c4213</id>
<content type='text'>
Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more
flexibility to GCC.

For that add an entry to the exception table so that
program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution
after a WARNING.

Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which
benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64.

	unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		int ret;

		WARN_ON(regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_PR);

		return regs-&gt;gpr[3];
	}

	unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
	{
		if (WARN_ON(!b))
			return 0;
		return a / b;
	}

In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what
happens after the trap.

In the second exemple, we see that GCC doesn't need to emit a test
and a branch in the likely path in addition to the trap.

We've got some WARN_ON() in .softirqentry.text section so it needs
to be added in the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in modpost.c

Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more
flexibility to GCC.

For that add an entry to the exception table so that
program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution
after a WARNING.

Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which
benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64.

	unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		int ret;

		WARN_ON(regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_PR);

		return regs-&gt;gpr[3];
	}

	unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
	{
		if (WARN_ON(!b))
			return 0;
		return a / b;
	}

Before the patch:

	000003a8 &lt;test&gt;:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384

<title>powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid</title>

<id>59dc5bfca0cb6a29db1a50847684eb5c19f8f400</id>
<content type='text'>
When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A large series adding wrappers for our interrupt handlers, so that
   irq/nmi/user tracking can be isolated in the wrappers rather than
   spread in each handler.

 - Conversion of the 32-bit syscall handling into C.

 - A series from Nick to streamline our TLB flushing when using the
   Radix MMU.

 - Switch to using queued spinlocks by default for 64-bit server CPUs.

 - A rework of our PCI probing so that it happens later in boot, when
   more generic infrastructure is available.

 - Two small fixes to allow 32-bit little-endian processes to run on
   64-bit kernels.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.
