After handling a transactional FP, Altivec or VSX unavailable exception.
The return to userspace code will detect that the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit is
set and call restore_tm_state(). restore_tm_state() will call
restore_math() to ensure that the correct facilities are loaded.
This means that all the loadup code in {fp,altivec,vsx}_unavailable_tm()
is doing pointless work and can simply be removed.

Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec means that a userspace process can
be sent to userspace with FP or Altivec disabled and loaded only as
required (by way of an FP/Altivec unavailable exception). Transactional
Memory complicates this situation as a transaction could be started
without FP/Altivec being loaded up. This causes the hardware to
checkpoint incorrect registers. Handling FP/Altivec unavailable
exceptions while a thread is transactional requires a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure the CPU has correct state for both sets of
registers.
tm_reclaim() has optimisations to not always save the FP/Altivec
registers to the checkpointed save area. This was originally done
because the caller might have information that the checkpointed
registers aren't valid due to lazy save and restore. We've also been a
little vague as to how tm_reclaim() leaves the FP/Altivec state since it
doesn't necessarily always save it to the thread struct. This has lead
to an (incorrect) assumption that it leaves the checkpointed state on
the CPU.
tm_recheckpoint() has similar optimisations in reverse. It may not
always reload the checkpointed FP/Altivec registers from the thread
struct before the trecheckpoint. It is therefore quite unclear where it
expects to get the state from. This didn't help with the assumption
made about tm_reclaim().
These optimisations sit in what is by definition a slow path. If a
process has to go through a reclaim/recheckpoint then its transaction
will be doomed on returning to userspace. This mean that the process
will be unable to complete its transaction and be forced to its failure
handler. This is already an out if line case for userspace. Furthermore,
the cost of copying 64 times 128 bits from registers isn't very long[0]
(at all) on modern processors. As such it appears these optimisations
have only served to increase code complexity and are unlikely to have
had a measurable performance impact.
Our transactional memory handling has been riddled with bugs. A cause
of this has been difficulty in following the code flow, code complexity
has not been our friend here. It makes sense to remove these
optimisations in favour of a (hopefully) more stable implementation.
This patch does mean that some times the assembly will needlessly save
'junk' registers which will subsequently get overwritten with the
correct value by the C code which calls the assembly function. This
small inefficiency is far outweighed by the reduction in complexity for
general TM code, context switching paths, and transactional facility
unavailable exception handler.
0: I tried to measure it once for other work and found that it was
hiding in the noise of everything else I was working with. I find it
exceedingly likely this will be the case here.

Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec means that a userspace process can
be sent to userspace with FP or Altivec disabled and loaded only as
required (by way of an FP/Altivec unavailable exception). Transactional
Memory complicates this situation as a transaction could be started
without FP/Altivec being loaded up. This causes the hardware to
checkpoint incorrect registers. Handling FP/Altivec unavailable
exceptions while a thread is transactional requires a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure the CPU has correct state for both sets of
registers.
Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec cannot be done if a process is
transactional. If a facility was enabled it must remain enabled whenever
a thread is transactional.
Commit dc16b553c9 ("powerpc: Always restore FPU/VEC/VSX if hardware
transactional memory in use") ensures that the facilities are always
enabled if a thread is transactional. A bug in the introduced code may
cause it to inadvertently enable a facility that was (and should remain)
disabled. The problem with this extraneous enablement is that the
registers for the erroneously enabled facility have not been correctly
recheckpointed - the recheckpointing code assumed the facility would
remain disabled.
Further compounding the issue, the transactional {fp,altivec,vsx}
unavailable code has been incorrectly using the MSR to enable
facilities. The presence of the {FP,VEC,VSX} bit in the regs->msr simply
means if the registers are live on the CPU, not if the kernel should
load them before returning to userspace. This has worked due to the bug
mentioned above.
This causes transactional threads which return to their failure handler
to observe incorrect checkpointed registers. Perhaps an example will
help illustrate the problem:
A userspace process is running and uses both FP and Altivec registers.
This process then continues to run for some time without touching
either sets of registers. The kernel subsequently disables the
facilities as part of lazy save and restore. The userspace process then
performs a tbegin and the CPU checkpoints 'junk' FP and Altivec
registers. The process then performs a floating point instruction
triggering a fp unavailable exception in the kernel.
The kernel then loads the FP registers - and only the FP registers.
Since the thread is transactional it must perform a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure both the checkpointed registers and the
transactional registers are correct. It then (correctly) enables
MSR[FP] for the process. Later (on exception exist) the kernel also
(inadvertently) enables MSR[VEC]. The process is then returned to
userspace.
Since the act of loading the FP registers doomed the transaction we know
CPU will fail the transaction, restore its checkpointed registers, and
return the process to its failure handler. The problem is that we're
now running with Altivec enabled and the 'junk' checkpointed registers
are restored. The kernel had only recheckpointed FP.
This patch solves this by only activating FP/Altivec if userspace was
using them when it entered the kernel and not simply if the process is
transactional.

Currently when we take a TM Bad Thing program check exception, we

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.

There are quite a few machine check exceptions that can be caused by
kernel bugs. To make debugging easier, use the kernel crash path in
cases of synchronous machine checks that occur in kernel mode, if that
would not result in the machine going straight to panic or crash dump.
There is a downside here that die()ing the process in kernel mode can
still leave the system unstable. panic_on_oops will always force the
system to fail-stop, so systems where that behaviour is important will
still do the right thing.
As a test, when triggering an i-side 0111b error (ifetch from foreign

A system reset is a request to crash / debug the system rather than
necessarily caused by encountering a BUG. So there is no need to
serialize all CPUs behind the die lock, adding taints to all
subsequent traces beyond the first, breaking console locks, etc.
The system reset is NMI context which has its own printk buffers to
prevent output being interleaved. Then it's better to have all
secondaries print out their debug as quickly as possible and the
primary will flush out all printk buffers during panic().
So remove the 0x100 path from die, and move it into system_reset. Name
the crash/dump reasons "System Reset".
This gives "not tained" traces when crashing an untainted kernel. It
also gives the panic reason as "System Reset" as opposed to "Fatal
exception in interrupt" (or "die oops" for fadump).

Since commit aa42c69c67 ("[POWERPC] Add support for FP emulation
for the e300c2 core"), program_check_exception() can be called for
math emulation. In that case, 'reason' is 0.
On the 8xx, there is a Software Emulation interrupt which is
called for all unimplemented and illegal instructions. This
interrupt calls SoftwareEmulation() which does almost the
same as program_check_exception() called with reason = 0.
The Software Emulation interrupt sets all reason bits to 0,
it is therefore possible to call program_check_exception()
directly from the interrupt handler.

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

allowing the kernel to avoid the expensive swap of the TM registers.
A TM unavailable exception will occur if a thread does use TM and the
kernel will enable MSR_TM and leave it so for some time afterwards.

If the kernel disables transactional memory (TM) and userspace still
tries TM related actions (TM instructions or TM SPR accesses) TM aware
hardware will cause the kernel to take a facility unavailable
exception.
Add checks for the exception being caused by illegal TM access in
userspace.

There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register
state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory
(TM).
Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated
(almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set
of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently
modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is
frozen at a point in time.
On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later)
restored. These two states are often called a variety of different
things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has
entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are
'transactional' or 'speculative'.
Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the
hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the
transactional state can be referred to as the live state.
The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state
and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is
executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back
to on transaction failure.
Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live
registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their
values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in
ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a
thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live
registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state
holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the
structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a
transactional state).
This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some
circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the
live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably
before TM) to save the live state.
With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the
same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for
checkpointed state.

During a machine check, the 8xx provides indication of
whether the check is due to data or instruction access, so
let's display it.
Lets also move 8xx specific handling into the new handler.

Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as
__kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text"
section, which separates them from the rest of the text.
Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a
blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move
exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in
larger kernels.

[mpe: Reword change log a bit]

Currently, if userspace or the kernel accesses a completely bogus address,
for example with any of bits 46-59 set, we first take an SLB miss interrupt,
install a corresponding SLB entry with VSID 0, retry the instruction, then
take a DSI/ISI interrupt because there is no HPT entry mapping the address.
However, by the time of the second interrupt, the Come-From Address Register
(CFAR) has been overwritten by the rfid instruction at the end of the SLB
miss interrupt handler. Since bogus accesses can often be caused by a
function return after the stack has been overwritten, the CFAR value would
be very useful as it could indicate which function it was whose return had
led to the bogus address.
This patch adds code to create a full exception frame in the SLB miss handler
in the case of a bogus address, rather than inserting an SLB entry with a
zero VSID field. Then we call a new slb_miss_bad_addr() function in C code,
which delivers a signal for a user access or creates an oops for a kernel
access. In the latter case the oops message will show the CFAR value at the
time of the access.
In the case of the radix MMU, a segment miss interrupt indicates an access
outside the ranges mapped by the page tables. Previously this was handled
by the code for an unrecoverable SLB miss (one with MSR[RI] = 0), which is
not really correct. With this patch, we now handle these interrupts with
slb_miss_bad_addr(), which is much more consistent.

These files were only including module.h for exception table
related functions. We've now separated that content out into its
own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the
extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile
these files.
