This reverts commit feba40362b.
Although the principle of this change is good, the implementation has a
few issues.
Firstly we can sometimes fail to abort a syscall because r12 may have
been clobbered by C code if we went down the virtual CPU accounting
path, or if syscall tracing was enabled.
Secondly we have decided that it is safer to abort the syscall even
earlier in the syscall entry path, so that we avoid the syscall tracing
path when we are transactional.
So that we have time to thoroughly test those changes we have decided to
revert this for this merge window and will merge the fixed version in
the next window.
NB. Rather than reverting the selftest we just drop tm-syscall from
TEST_PROGS so that it's not run by default.

This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active
transactions when a syscall is made and return immediately without
performing the syscall.
Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an
active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active
transaction fails.
This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was
documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality because
syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend. It also provides a
consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code
substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not
support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390).
Performance measurements using
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c
indicate the cost of a system call increases by about 0.5%.

We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.
That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.
Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.
As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.
The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.
This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

We have code to do syscall tracing which is disabled at compile time by
default. It's not been touched since the dawn of time (ie. v2.6.12).
There are now better ways to do syscall tracing, ie. using the
raw_syscall, or syscall tracepoints.
For the specific case of tracing syscalls at boot on a system that
doesn't get to userspace, you can boot with:
trace_event=syscalls tp_printk=on
Which will trace syscalls from boot, and echo all output to the console.

Currently when we back trace something that is in a syscall we see
something like this:
[c000000000000000] [c000000000000000] SyS_read+0x6c/0x110
[c000000000000000] [c000000000000000] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98
Although it's entirely correct, seeing syscall_exit at the bottom can be
confusing - we were exiting from a syscall and then called SyS_read() ?
If we instead change syscall_exit to be a local label we get something
more intuitive:
[c0000001fa46fde0] [c00000000026719c] SyS_read+0x6c/0x110
[c0000001fa46fe30] [c000000000009264] system_call+0x38/0xd0
ie. we were handling a system call, and it was SyS_read().

Instead of passing in the stack address of the link register
to be modified, just pass in the old value and return the
new value and rely on ftrace_graph_caller to do the
modification.
This removes the exception handling around the stack update -
it isn't needed and we weren't consistent about it. Later on
we would do an unprotected modification:

Back in 7230c56441 ("powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling") we
added a call out to restore_interrupts() (written in c) before calling
do_notify_resume:
bl restore_interrupts
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
bl do_notify_resume
Unfortunately do_notify_resume takes two arguments, the second one
being the thread_info flags:
void do_notify_resume(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long thread_info_flags)
We do populate r4 (the second argument) earlier, but
restore_interrupts() is free to muck it up all it wants. My guess is
the gcc compiler gods shone down on us and its register allocator
never used r4. Sometimes, rarely, luck is on our side.
LLVM on the other hand did trample r4.

Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is
context switched during a transaction.
The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving
the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's
default value:
__switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm()
which calls tm_reclaim_task()
which calls tm_reclaim_thread()
which calls tm_reclaim()
where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default
__switch_to() calls _switch()
where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR
When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual)
and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value
will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by
the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case
the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the
transaction.
The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early
in __switch_to().
A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as:

Since commit "efcac65 powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)"
it is no longer possible to set the DSCR on a per-CPU basis.
The old behaviour was to minipulate the DSCR SPR directly but this is no
longer sufficient: the value is quickly overwritten by context switching.
This patch stores the per-CPU DSCR value in a kernel variable rather than
directly in the SPR and it is used whenever a process has not set the DSCR
itself. The sysfs interface (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr) is unchanged.
Writes to the old global default (/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default)
now set all of the per-CPU values and reads return the last written value.
The new per-CPU default is added to the paca_struct and is used everywhere
outside of sysfs.c instead of the old global default.

Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory
facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional
or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the
kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility,
we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state. This
happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write
operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the
copy on POWER8. The test program below demonstrates the bug.
The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process
is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in
.fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in
.transact_fp/.transact_vr. However, when the kernel wants to use
FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(),
which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state. Furthermore,
when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX
disabled. The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know
which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state,
or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no
way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not,
whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed.
Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has
been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled
for the user process with the current transactional state in the
FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction.
Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the
process is no longer transactional.
In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we
test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM.
This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored
before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field
in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored.
The restoration is done by restore_tm_state(). The TIF_RESTORE_TM
bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers,
which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and
flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec.
The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX
state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state
has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional.
Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after
reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid
(having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state).
Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the
transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before
calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set
the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit.
This is the test program:
/* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013

* See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to
* kernel vmx copy loops.

As suggested by paulus we can simplify the Data Stream Control Register
(DSCR) Facility Status and Control Register (FSCR) handling.
Firstly, we simplify the asm by using a rldimi.
Secondly, we now use the FSCR only to control the DSCR facility, rather
than both the FSCR and HFSCR. Users will see no functional change from
this but will get a minor speedup as they will trap into the kernel only
once (rather than twice) when they first touch the DSCR. Also, this

POWER8 allows the DSCR to be accessed directly from userspace via a new SPR
number 0x3 (Rather than 0x11. DSCR SPR number 0x11 is still used on POWER8 but
like POWER7, is only accessible in HV and OS modes). Currently, we allow this
by setting H/FSCR DSCR bit on boot.
Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the kernel needs to see the DSCR change so
that it knows to no longer restore the system wide version of DSCR on context
switch (ie. to set thread.dscr_inherit).
This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially. If a process then accesses the DSCR
(via SPR 0x3), it'll trap into the kernel where we set thread.dscr_inherit in
facility_unavailable_exception().
We also change _switch() so that we set or clear the H/FSCR DSCR bit based on
the thread.dscr_inherit.

Hijack the value we had for BCTAR, but swap the value with CFAR so that all the
ARCH defines are together.
Note we don't touch CPU_FTR_TM, because it is conditionally enabled if
the kernel is built with TM support.

A label 0 was missed in the patch a9c4e541 (powerpc/kprobe: Complete
kprobe and migrate exception frame). This will cause the kernel
branch to an undetermined address if there really has a conflict when
updating the thread flags.

powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore
It was found this patch corrupted r9 when calling
SET_DEFAULT_THREAD_PPR()
Using r10 as a scratch register instead of r9 solved the problem.

Some distros enable auditing by default which forces us through the
syscall trace path. Remove the static branch prediction in our 64bit
syscall handler and let the hardware do the prediction.

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
for 3.9. It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
and new boards:
- Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus & Michael
Ellerman)
- Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie
- Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open
firmware trampoline (prom_init.c) on 64-bit by Anton Blanchard
- Support for saving/restoring & context switching the PPR (Processor
Priority Register) on server processors that support it. This
allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
userspace. By Haren Myneni.
- DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling
- Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
Alexey Kardashevskiy
- Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
by Ian Munsie.
- Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.
- Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
it belongs by Philippe De Muyter
- Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
(based on original work by Matt Evans). For those curious about
the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."

This patch adds support for enabling and context switching the Target

that can be used for computed branches with the bctar[l] (branch
conditional to TAR) instruction in the same manner as the count and link

In preempt case current arch_local_irq_restore() from
preempt_schedule_irq() may enable hard interrupt but we really
should disable interrupts when we return from the interrupt,
and so that we don't get interrupted after loading SRR0/1.
