      powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG_TLB_EXFRAME on bolted handlers · a3dc6207
      Scott Wood 提交于
      While bolted handlers (including e6500) do not need to deal with a TLB
      miss recursively causing another TLB miss, nested TLB misses can still
      happen with crit/mc/debug exceptions -- so we still need to honor
      SPRG_TLB_EXFRAME.
      
      We don't need to spend time modifying it in the TLB miss fastpath,
      though -- the special level exception will handle that.

      powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG7 for VDSO · 9d378dfa
      Scott Wood 提交于
      Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical
      interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented).
      
      In commit 8b64a9df ("powerpc/booke64:
      Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman
      made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value
      early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues:
      
       - It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the
         by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time).
       - It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled
         differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions.
       - It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all
         (by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after
         I made (most of) this patch. :-)
      
      It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return
      from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves
      the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles.  Until then, let's stick with
      SPRG for all exceptions.
      
      Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of
      a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e.  Since neither SPRG4-7 nor
      critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO
      there.
