There are two possibilities for book3e_htw_mode, PPC_HTW_E6500 or
PPC_HTW_NONE.
The TLB miss handlers are patched to use, respectively:
- exc_[data|indstruction]_tlb_miss_e6500_book3e
- exc_[data|indstruction]_tlb_miss_bolted_book3e
Which means the default handlers are never used. Remove those, and use
the bolted handlers (PPC_HTW_NONE) by default.

Zero GPRS r14-r31 on entry into the kernel for interrupt sources to
limit influence of user-space values in potential speculation gadgets.
Prior to this commit, all other GPRS are reassigned during the common
prologue to interrupt handlers and so need not be zeroised explicitly.
This may be done safely, without loss of register state prior to the
interrupt, as the common prologue saves the initial values of
non-volatiles, which are unconditionally restored in interrupt_64.S.
Mitigation defaults to enabled by INTERRUPT_SANITIZE_REGISTERS.

NMI PMIs really should not return using the normal interrupt_return
function. If such a PMI hits in code returning to user with the context
switched to user mode, this warning can fire. This was enough to cause
crashes when reproducing on 64s, because another perf interrupt would
hit while reporting bug, and that would cause another bug, and so on
until smashing the stack.
Work around that particular crash for now by just disabling that context
warning for PMIs. This is a hack and not a complete fix, there could be
other such problems lurking in corners. But it does fix the known crash.

The interrupt entry code carefully saves a minimal number of registers,
so in some places the TOC is required, it is loaded into a different
register, so provide a macro that can supply an alternate TOC register.
This continues to use got addressing because TOC-relative results in

r2 be one of the saved registers and using that for TOC addressing may
be the best way to avoid that and switch this to TOC addressing.

The change to always save nvgprs in exception handlers lead to some

Implement the bulk of interrupt return logic in C. The asm return code
must handle a few cases: restoring full GPRs, and emulating stack
store.
The stack store emulation is significantly simplfied, rather than
creating a new return frame and switching to that before performing
the store, it uses the PACA to keep a scratch register around to
perform the store.
The asm return code is moved into 64e for now. The new logic has made
allowance for 64e, but I don't have a full environment that works well
to test it, and even booting in emulated qemu is not great for stress
testing. 64e shouldn't be too far off working with this, given a bit
more testing and auditing of the logic.
This is slightly faster on a POWER9 (page fault speed increases about
1.1%), probably due to reduced mtmsrd.
mpe: Includes fixes from Nick for _TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE
handling (including the fast_interrupt_return path), to remove
trace_hardirqs_on(), and fixes the interrupt-return part of the
MSR_VSX restore bug caught by tm-unavailable selftest.
mpe: Incorporate fix from Nick:
The return-to-kernel path has to replay any soft-pending interrupts if
it is returning to a context that had interrupts soft-enabled. It has
to do this carefully and avoid plain enabling interrupts if this is an
irq context, which can cause multiple nesting of interrupts on the
stack, and other unexpected issues.
The code which avoided this case got the soft-mask state wrong, and
marked interrupts as enabled before going around again to retry. This
seems to be mostly harmless except when PREEMPT=y, this calls
preempt_schedule_irq with irqs apparently enabled and runs into a BUG
in kernel/sched/core.c

When local_irq_enable() finds a pending soft-masked interrupt, it
"replays" it by setting up registers like the initial interrupt entry,
then calls into the low level handler to set up an interrupt stack
frame and process the interrupt.
This is not necessary, and uses more stack than needed. The high level
interrupt handler can be called directly from C, with just pt_regs set
up on stack. This should be faster and use less stack.

When the masked interrupt handler clears MSR[EE] for an interrupt in
the PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK set, it does not set PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS.
This makes them get out of synch.
With that taken into account, it's only low level irq manipulation
(and interrupt entry before reconcile) where they can be out of synch.
This makes the code less surprising.
It also allows the IRQ replay code to rely on the IRQ_HARD_DIS value
and not have to mtmsrd again in this case (e.g., for an external
interrupt that has been masked). The bigger benefit might just be
that there is not such an element of surprise in these two bits of

The soft IRQ masking code has to hard-disable interrupts in cases
where the exception is not cleared by the masked handler. External
interrupts used this approach for soft masking. Now recently PMU
interrupts do the same thing.
The soft IRQ masking code additionally allowed for interrupt handlers
to hard-enable interrupts after soft-disabling them. The idea is to
allow PMU interrupts through to profile interrupt handlers.
So when interrupts are being replayed when there is a pending
interrupt that requires hard-disabling, there is a test to prevent
those handlers from hard-enabling them if there is a pending external
interrupt. may_hard_irq_enable() handles this.
After f442d00480 ("powerpc/64s: Add support to mask perf interrupts
and replay them"), may_hard_irq_enable() could prematurely enable
MSR[EE] when a PMU exception exists, which would result in the
interrupt firing again while masked, and MSR[EE] being disabled again.
I haven't seen that this could cause a serious problem, but it's
more consistent to handle these soft-masked interrupts in the same
way. So introduce a define for all types of interrupts that require
MSR[EE] masking in their soft-disable handlers, and use that in
may_hard_irq_enable().

"paca->soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts.
Currently supported flags values and their details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
0 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
1 1 Enabled
"paca->soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as
enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when
interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not
actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the
flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt
paca->irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to
re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any
occured.
Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring
interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends
on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all
possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the
update.
So the idea here is to reserve the "paca->soft_enabled" logic. New
values and details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
1 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
0 1 Enabled
Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask
value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When
->soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when
set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends
soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask.
Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to
IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED.
Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe
value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no
business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in
signal context.

Two #defines IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED are added to be used when
updating paca->soft_enabled. Replace the hardcoded values used when
updating paca->soft_enabled with IRQ_(EN|DIS)ABLED #define. No logic
change.
