<title>powerpc/mce: hookup memory_failure for UE errors</title>

<content type='text'>
If we are in user space and hit a UE error, we now have the
basic infrastructure to walk the page tables and find out
the effective address that was accessed, since the DAR
is not valid.

We use a work_queue content to hookup the bad pfn, any
other context causes problems, since memory_failure itself
can call into schedule() via lru_drain_ bits.

We could probably poison the struct page to avoid a race
between detection and taking corrective action.

Extract physical_address for UE errors by walking the page
tables for the mm and address at the NIP, to extract the
instruction. Then use the instruction to find the effective
address via analyse_instr().

We might have page table walking races, but we expect them to
be rare, the physical address extraction is best effort. The idea
is to then hook up this infrastructure to memory failure eventually.

<title>powerpc/64s: Add workaround for P9 vector CI load issue</title>

POWER9 DD2.1 and earlier has an issue where some cache inhibited
vector load will return bad data. The workaround is two part, one
firmware/microcode part triggers HMI interrupts when hitting such
loads, the other part is this patch which then emulates the
instructions in Linux.

The affected instructions are limited to lxvd2x, lxvw4x, lxvb16x and
lxvh8x.

When an instruction triggers the HMI, all threads in the core will be
sent to the HMI handler, not just the one running the vector load.

In general, these spurious HMIs are detected by the emulation code and
we just return back to the running process. Unfortunately, if a
spurious interrupt occurs on a vector load that's to normal memory we
have no way to detect that it's spurious (unless we walk the page
tables, which is very expensive). In this case we emulate the load but
we need do so using a vector load itself to ensure 128bit atomicity is
preserved.

Some additional debugfs emulated instruction counters are added also.

The i-side 0111b machine check, which is "Instruction Fetch to foreign
address space", was missed by 7b9f71f974 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine
check handler").

    The POWER9 processor core considers host real addresses with a
    nonzero value in RA(8:12) as foreign address space, accessible only
    by the copy and paste instructions. The copy and paste instruction
    pair can be used to invoke the Nest accelerators via the Virtual
    Accelerator Switchboard (VAS).

It is an error for any regular load/store or ifetch to go to a foreign
addresses. When relocation is on, this causes an MMU exception. When
relocation is off, a machine check exception. It is possible to trigger
this machine check by branching to a foreign address with MSR[IR]=0.

machine_check_early() gets called in real mode. The very first time when
add_taint() is called, it prints a warning which ends up calling opal
call (that uses OPAL_CALL wrapper) for writing it to console. If we get a
very first machine check while we are in opal we are doomed. OPAL_CALL
overwrites the PACASAVEDMSR in r13 and in this case when we are done with
MCE handling the original opal call will use this new MSR on it's way
back to opal_return. This usually leads to unexpected behaviour or the
kernel to panic. Instead move the add_taint() call later in the virtual
mode where it is safe to call.

This is broken with current FW level. We got lucky so far for not getting
very first MCE hit while in OPAL. But easily reproducible on Mambo.
