[ Upstream commit e3de1e291fa58a1ab0f471a4b458eff2514e4b5f ]

In commit bf13718bc57a ("powerpc: show registers when unwinding
interrupt frames") we changed our stack dumping logic to show the full
registers whenever we find an interrupt frame on the stack.

However we didn't notice that on 64-bit this doesn't show the final
frame, ie. the interrupt that brought us in from userspace, whereas on
32-bit it does.

That is due to confusion about the size of that last frame. The code
in show_stack() calls validate_sp(), passing it STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE
to check the sp is at least that far below the top of the stack.

However on 64-bit that size is too large for the final frame, because
it includes the red zone, but we don't allocate a red zone for the
first frame.

So add a new define that encodes the correct size for 32-bit and
64-bit, and use it in show_stack().

This results in the full trace being shown on 64-bit, eg:

<title>powerpc: show registers when unwinding interrupt frames</title>

<content type='text'>
It's often useful to know the register state for interrupts in
the stack frame. In the below example (with this patch applied),
the important information is the state of the page fault.

A blatant case like this probably rather should have the page
fault regs passed down to the warning, but quite often there are
less obvious cases where an interrupt shows up that might give
some more clues.

The downside is longer and more complex bug output.

  Bug: Write fault blocked by AMR!

It's often useful to know the register state for interrupts in
the stack frame. In the below example (with this patch applied),
the important information is the state of the page fault.

A blatant case like this probably rather should have the page
fault regs passed down to the warning, but quite often there are
less obvious cases where an interrupt shows up that might give
some more clues.

The downside is longer and more complex bug output.

  Bug: Write fault blocked by AMR!

<title>powerpc/signal: Don't manage floating point regs when no FPU</title>

There is no point in copying floating point regs when there
is no FPU and MATH_EMULATION is not selected.

Create a new CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS bool that is selected by
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION and CONFIG_PPC_FPU, and use it to
opt out everything related to fp_state in thread_struct.

The asm const used only by fpu.S are opted out with CONFIG_PPC_FPU
as fpu.S build is conditionnal to CONFIG_PPC_FPU.

The following app spends approx 8.1 seconds system time on an 8xx
without the patch, and 7.0 seconds with the patch (13.5% reduction).

On an 832x, it spends approx 2.6 seconds system time without
the patch and 2.1 seconds with the patch (19% reduction).

	void sigusr1(int sig) { }

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int i = 100000;

		signal(SIGUSR1, sigusr1);
		for (;i--;)
			raise(SIGUSR1);
		exit(0);

Clang, and GCC with -Wmaybe-uninitialized, can't see that val is
unused in get_fpexec_mode():

  arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:1940:7: error: variable 'val' is used
  uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
		  if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_SPE)) {
		      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We know that CPU_FTR_SPE will only be true iff CONFIG_SPE is also
true, but the compiler doesn't.

Avoid it by initialising val to zero.

Add a stub for __giveup_fpu() when CONFIG_PPC_FPU is
not selected, as done for CONFIG_SPE and CONFIG_ALTIVEC.

This allows to remove some #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_FPU.

Also change one to IS_ENABLED().
