Commit 8d460f61 ("powerpc/process: Add the function
flush_tmregs_to_thread") added flush_tmregs_to_thread() and included
the assumption that it would only be called for a task which is not
current.

Although this is correct for ptrace, when generating a core dump, some
of the routines which call flush_tmregs_to_thread() are called. This
leads to a WARNing such as:

  Not expecting ptrace on self: TM regs may be incorrect

So fix flush_tmregs_to_thread() to detect the case where it is called on

to the thread_struct.

This patch also moves flush_tmregs_to_thread() into ptrace.c as it is
only called from that file.

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

Userspace can quite legitimately perform an exec() syscall with a
suspended transaction. exec() does not return to the old process, rather
it load a new one and starts that, the expectation therefore is that the
new process starts not in a transaction. Currently exec() is not treated
any differently to any other syscall which creates problems.

Firstly it could allow a new process to start with a suspended
transaction for a binary that no longer exists. This means that the
checkpointed state won't be valid and if the suspended transaction were
ever to be resumed and subsequently aborted (a possibility which is
exceedingly likely as exec()ing will likely doom the transaction) the
new process will jump to invalid state.

Secondly the incorrect attempt to keep the transactional state while
still zeroing state for the new process creates at least two TM Bad
Things. The first triggers on the rfid to return to userspace as
start_thread() has given the new process a 'clean' MSR but the suspend
will still be set in the hardware MSR. The second TM Bad Thing triggers
in __switch_to() as the processor is still transactionally suspended but
__switch_to() wants to zero the TM sprs for the new process.

This is an example of the outcome of calling exec() with a suspended
transaction. Note the first 700 is likely the first TM bad thing
decsribed earlier only the kernel can't report it as we've loaded
userspace registers. c000000000009980 is the rfid in
fast_exception_return()

This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in
userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction)
loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a
new FSCR bit, LM.

This patch disables the FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables
that bit when a load monitor facility unavailable exception is taken
for using it. On context switch, this bit is then used to determine
whether the two relevant registers are saved and restored. This is
done lazily for performance reasons.

This fixes a few issues with FSCR init and switching.

In commit 152d523e ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers
save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") we moved the setting of the FSCR
register from inside an CPU_FTR_ARCH_207S section to inside just a
CPU_FTR_ARCH_DSCR section. Hence we are setting FSCR on POWER6/7 where
the FSCR doesn't exist. This is harmless but we shouldn't do it.

Also, we can simplify the FSCR context switch. We don't need to go
through the calculation involving dscr_inherit. We can just restore
what we saved last time.

We also set an initial value in INIT_THREAD, so that pid 1 which is
cloned from that gets a sane value.

In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test:

		t->vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE);

CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test
is equivilent to:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) &&
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE))

On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not
being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore
code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore,
but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used
in several code paths.

Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not
a problem unless a process is using these facilities.

Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code,
new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector
facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy.

All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the
kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it
increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon
after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three.

The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load
all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC
and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does
avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty.

An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the
past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back
to zero.

Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested:

  1. Always calling C.
  2. Performing a common case check and then calling C.
  3. A complex check in asm.

After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common
case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option
3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain
and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

fixup

Currently when threads get scheduled off they always giveup the FPU,
Altivec (VMX) and Vector (VSX) units if they were using them. When they are
scheduled back on a fault is then taken to enable each facility and load
registers. As a result explicitly disabling FPU/VMX/VSX has not been
necessary.

Future changes and optimisations remove this mandatory giveup and fault
which could cause calls such as clone() and fork() to copy threads and run
them later with FPU/VMX/VSX enabled but no registers loaded.

This patch starts the process of having MSR_{FP,VEC,VSX} mean that a
threads registers are hot while not having MSR_{FP,VEC,VSX} means that the
registers must be loaded. This allows for a smarter return to userspace.

ret_from_fork() or ret_from_kernel_thread(). This means restore_sprs() is
not getting called for new tasks.

Fix this by moving restore_sprs() before _switch().

Move the MSR modification into c. Removing it from the assembly
function will allow us to avoid costly MSR writes by batching them
up.

Check the FP and VMX bits before calling the relevant giveup_*()
function. This makes giveup_vsx() and flush_vsx_to_thread() perform
more like their sister functions, and allows us to use
flush_vsx_to_thread() in the signal code.

The UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations were written
back when SMP was not common, and neither glibc nor gcc used vector
instructions. Now SMP is very common, glibc aggressively uses vector
instructions and gcc autovectorises.

We want to add new optimisations that apply to both UP and SMP, but
in preparation for that remove these UP only optimisations.

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two
helpers. We do a few optimisations:

- Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a
scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of
mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can
do.

- SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before
writing it.

Currently we can hit a scenario where we'll tm_reclaim() twice.  This
results in a TM bad thing exception because the second reclaim occurs
when not in suspend mode.

The scenario in which this can happen is the following.  We attempt to
deliver a signal to userspace.  To do this we need obtain the stack
pointer to write the signal context.  To get this stack pointer we
must tm_reclaim() in case we need to use the checkpointed stack
pointer (see get_tm_stackpointer()).  Normally we'd then return
directly to userspace to deliver the signal without going through
__switch_to().

Unfortunatley, if at this point we get an error (such as a bad
userspace stack pointer), we need to exit the process.  The exit will
result in a __switch_to().  __switch_to() will attempt to save the
process state which results in another tm_reclaim().  This
tm_reclaim() now causes a TM Bad Thing exception as this state has
already been saved and the processor is no longer in TM suspend mode.
Whee!

This patch checks the state of the MSR to ensure we are TM suspended
before we attempt the tm_reclaim().  If we've already saved the state
away, we should no longer be in TM suspend mode.  This has the
additional advantage of checking for a potential TM Bad Thing
exception.

Found using syscall fuzzer.

Currently tm_orig_msr is getting used during process context switch only.
Then there is ckpt_regs which saves the checkpointed userspace context
The MSR slot contained in ckpt_regs structure can be used during process
context switch instead of tm_orig_msr, thus allowing us to drop it from
thread_struct structure. This patch does that change.
