commit d1b6ba82a50cecf94be540a3a153aa89d97511a0 upstream.

Remove restoring a6 on some return paths and instead modify and restore
it in a single place, using symbolic name.
Correctly restore a7 from PT_AREG7 in case of illegal a6 value.

<title>xtensa: fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 region handling in fast_second_level_miss</title>

commit 7128039fe2dd3d59da9e4ffa036f3aaa3ba87b9f upstream.

Current definition of TLBTEMP_BASE_2 is always 32K above the
TLBTEMP_BASE_1, whereas fast_second_level_miss handler for the TLBTEMP
region analyzes virtual address bit (PAGE_SHIFT + DCACHE_ALIAS_ORDER)
to determine TLBTEMP region where the fault happened. The size of the
TLBTEMP region is also checked incorrectly: not 64K, but twice data
cache way size (whicht may as well be less than the instruction cache
way size).

Fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 to be TLBTEMP_BASE_1 + data cache way size.
Provide TLBTEMP_SIZE that is a greater of doubled data cache way size or
the instruction cache way size, and use it to determine if the second
level TLB miss occured in the TLBTEMP region.

Practical occurence of page faults in the TLBTEMP area is extremely
rare, this code can be tested by deletion of all w[di]tlb instructions
in the tlbtemp_mapping region.

commit 52247123749cc3cbc30168b33ad8c69515c96d23 upstream.

With SMP and a lot of debug options enabled task_struct::thread gets out
of reach of s32i/l32i instructions with base pointing at task_struct,
breaking build with the following messages:

  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1002: Error: operand 3 of 'l32i.n' has invalid value '1048'
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1831: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1040'
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1832: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1044'

Change base to point to task_struct::thread in such cases.
Don't use a10 in _switch_to to save/restore prev pointer as a2 is not
clobbered.

commit e2fd1374c705abe4661df3fb6fadb3879c7c1846 upstream.

Most in-kernel users want registers spilled on the kernel stack and
don't require PS.EXCM to be set. That means that they don't need fixup
routine and could reuse regular window overflow mechanism for that,
which makes spill routine very simple.

<title>xtensa: disable IRQs while IRQ handler is running</title>

IRQ handlers are expected to run with IRQs disabled.
See e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/380931/ for a longer story.

This was overlooked in the commit
  2d1c645 xtensa: dispatch medium-priority interrupts
Revert to old behavior and simplify interrupt entry and exit code.
Interrupt handler still honours IRQ priority.

do_notify_resume/schedule must be called with interrupts enabled, enable
interrupts if we return from user exception.

The Xtensa architecture provides a global register called THREADPTR
for the purpose of Thread Local Storage (TLS) support. This allows us
to use a fairly simple implementation, keeping the thread pointer in
the regset and simply saving and restoring it upon entering/exiting
the from user space.

Support call graph profiling.
Keep upper two bits of PC unchanged through backtrace rather than take
them from sp (a1). The stack pointer is usually in the same GB (same
upper 2 bits) as PC, but technically doesn't always have to be (and
might not in the future, when taking full advantage of MMU v3).
