Add special state saving for critical and machine check exceptions.

Most of this code could be used to handle debug exceptions taken from
kernel space, but actually doing so is outside the scope of this patch.

The various critical and machine check exceptions now point to their
real handlers, rather than hanging the kernel.

Use the proper scratch SPRG and PACA region.  Introduce level-specific
macros to simplify usage and avoid needing to do a bunch of token
pasting throughout EXCEPTION_COMMON().

Now that EXCEPTION_COMMON_DBG() is properly using the debug scratch
register, there's no more need for the caller to move the value to the
GEN scratch first.

<title>powerpc/booke64: Remove ints from EXCEPTION_COMMON</title>

<content type='text'>
The ints parameter was used to optionally insert RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE
into EXCEPTION_COMMON.  However, since it came at the end of
EXCEPTION_COMMON, there was no real benefit for it to be there as
opposed to being called separately by the caller of EXCEPTION_COMMON.

The ints parameter was causing some hassle when trying to add an extra
macro layer.  Besides avoiding that, moving "ints" to the caller makes
the code simpler by:
 - avoiding the asymmetry where INTS_RESTORE_HARD is called separately
by the individual exception, but INTS_DISABLE was not
 - removing the no-op INTS_KEEP
 - not having an unnecessary macro parameter

It also turned out to be necessary to delay the INTS_DISABLE
in the case of special level exceptions until after we saved the
old value of PACAIRQHAPPENED.

<title>powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG7 for VDSO</title>
<updated>2014-03-20T00:57:14+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=9d378dfac885f72b8b369d08fc61bef36e2f2dd1'/>
<id>9d378dfac885f72b8b369d08fc61bef36e2f2dd1</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical
interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented).

In commit 8b64a9dfb091f1eca8b7e58da82f1e7d1d5fe0ad ("powerpc/booke64:
Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss &amp; crit int"), Mihai Caraman
made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value
early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues:

 - It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the
   by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time).
 - It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled
   differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions.
 - It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all
   (by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after
   I made (most of) this patch. :-)

It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return
from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves
the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles.  Until then, let's stick with
SPRG for all exceptions.

Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of
a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e.  Since neither SPRG4-7 nor
critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO
there.

altivec_unavailable was commented as 0xf20 but the code uses 0x200.
Note that 0xf20 is also used by ap_unavailable.

altivec_assist was commented as 0x1700 but the code uses 0x220.

critical_input was commented as 0x580 but the code uses 0x100.

machine_check was commented and implemented as 0x200, which conflicts
with altivec_assist (it only builds because MC_EXCEPTION_PROLOG is
commented out).  Changed to the fixed IVOR value of 0x000.

<title>powerpc: Replaced tlbilx with tlbwe in the initialization code</title>

<content type='text'>
On Freescale e6500 cores EPCR[DGTMI] controls whether guest supervisor
state can execute TLB management instructions. If EPCR[DGTMI]=0
tlbwe and tlbilx are allowed to execute normally in the guest state.

A hypervisor may choose to virtualize TLB1 and for this purpose it
may use IPROT to protect the entries for being invalidated by the
guest. However, because tlbwe and tlbilx execution in the guest state
are sharing the same bit, it is not possible to have a scenario where
tlbwe is allowed to be executed in guest state and tlbilx traps. When
guest TLB management instructions are allowed to be executed in guest
state the guest cannot use tlbilx to invalidate TLB1 guest entries.

Linux is using tlbilx in the boot code to invalidate the temporary
entries it creates when initializing the MMU. The patch is replacing
the usage of tlbilx in initialization code with tlbwe with VALID bit
cleared.

Linux is also using tlbilx in other contexts (like huge pages or
indirect entries) but removing the tlbilx from the initialization code
offers the possibility to have scenarios under hypervisor which are
not using huge pages or indirect entries.

LRAT (Logical to Real Address Translation) present in MMU v2 provides hardware
translation from a logical page number (LPN) to a real page number (RPN) when
tlbwe is executed by a guest or when a page table translation occurs from a
guest virtual address.

Add LRAT error exception handler to Booke3E 64-bit kernel and the basic KVM
handler to avoid build breakage. This is a prerequisite for KVM LRAT support
that will follow.
