A e5500 machine running a 32-bit kernel sometimes hangs at boot,
seemingly going into an infinite loop of instruction storage interrupts.
The ESR (Exception Syndrome Register) has a value of 0x800000 (store)
when this happens, which is likely set by a previous store. An
instruction TLB miss interrupt would then leave ESR unchanged, and if no
PTE exists it calls directly to the instruction storage interrupt
handler without changing ESR.
access_error() does not cause a segfault due to a store to a read-only
vma because is_exec is true. Most subsequent fault handling does not
check for a write fault on a read-only vma, and might do strange things
like create a writeable PTE or call page_mkwrite on a read only vma or
file. It's not clear what happens here to cause the infinite faulting in
this case, a fault handler failure or low level PTE or TLB handling.
In any case this can be fixed by having the instruction storage
interrupt zero regs->dsisr rather than storing the ESR value to it.

32 bits BOOKE have special interrupts for debug and other
critical events.
When handling those interrupts, dedicated registers are saved
in the stack frame in addition to the standard registers, leading
to a shift of the pt_regs struct.
Since commit db297c3b07 ("powerpc/32: Don't save thread.regs on
interrupt entry"), the pt_regs struct is expected to be at the
same place all the time.
Instead of handling a special struct in addition to pt_regs, just
add those special registers to struct pt_regs.

Until now, non volatile registers were restored everytime they
were saved, ie using EXC_XFER_STD meant saving and restoring
them while EXC_XFER_LITE meant neither saving not restoring them.
Now that they are always saved, EXC_XFER_STD means to restore
them and EXC_XFER_LITE means to not restore them.
Most of the users of EXC_XFER_STD only need to retrieve the
non volatile registers. For them there is no need to restore
the non volatile registers as they have not been modified.
Only very few exceptions require non volatile registers restore.
Opencode the few places which require saving of non volatile
registers.

On 40x and 8xx, kernel text is pinned.
On book3s/32, kernel text is mapped by BATs.
Enable instruction translation at the same time as data translation, it
makes things simpler.
In syscall handler, MSR_RI can also be set at the same time because
srr0/srr1 are already saved and r1 is set properly.
On booke, translation is always on, so at the end all PPC32
have translation on early. Just update msr.
Also update comment in power_save_ppc32_restore().

Make mm fault handlers all just take the pt_regs * argument and load
DAR/DSISR from that. Make those that return a value return long.
This is done to make the function signatures match other handlers, which
will help with a future patch to add wrappers. Explicit arguments could
be added for performance but that would require more wrapper macro
variants.

This patch implements a fast entry for syscalls.
Syscalls don't have to preserve non volatile registers except LR.
This patch then implement a fast entry for syscalls, where
volatile registers get clobbered.
As this entry is dedicated to syscall it always sets MSR_EE
and warns in case MSR_EE was previously off
It also assumes that the call is always from user, system calls are
unexpected from kernel.

This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.
Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked,
making a number of attacks more difficult.
This has the following consequences:
- thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct.
- The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when
CONFIG_SMP is active.
- thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field.
This patch:
- Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes.
- Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current.
- Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
- Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get ->cpu from current without
including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without
including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication
between ASM constants and C constants.
- Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer
argument.

In order to protect against speculation attacks on
indirect branches, the branch predictor is flushed at
kernel entry to protect for the following situations:
- userspace process attacking another userspace process
- userspace process attacking the kernel
Basically when the privillege level change (i.e.the kernel
