<title>powerpc/32s: Fix CPU wake-up from sleep mode</title>

commit 9933819099c4600b41a042f27a074470a43cf6b9 upstream.

Commit f7354ccac844 ("powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and
rename TI_CPU") broke the CPU wake-up from sleep mode (i.e. when
_TLF_SLEEPING is set) by delaying the tovirt(r2, r2).

This is because r2 is not restored by fast_exception_return. It used
to work (by chance ?) because CPU wake-up interrupt never comes from
user, so r2 is expected to point to 'current' on return.

Commit e2fb9f544431 ("powerpc/32: Prepare for Kernel Userspace Access
Protection") broke it even more by clobbering r0 which is not
restored by fast_exception_return either.

Use r6 instead of r0. This is possible because r3-r6 are restored by
fast_exception_return and only r3-r5 are used for exception arguments.

For r2 it could be converted back to virtual address, but stay on the
safe side and restore it from the stack instead. It should be live
in the cache at that moment, so loading from the stack should make
no difference compared to converting it from phys to virt.

<content type='text'>
Wire up the new clone3 syscall added in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork:
add clone3").

This requires a ppc_clone3 wrapper, in order to save the non-volatile
GPRs before calling into the generic syscall code. Otherwise we hit
the BUG_ON in CHECK_FULL_REGS in copy_thread().

Lightly tested using Christian's test code on a Power8 LE VM.

<title>powerpc/32: Don't add dummy frames when calling trace_hardirqs_on/off</title>

No need to add dummy frames when calling trace_hardirqs_on or
trace_hardirqs_off. GCC properly handles empty stacks.

In addition, powerpc doesn't set CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, therefore
__builtin_return_address(1..) returns NULL at all time. So the
dummy frames are definitely unneeded here.

In the meantime, avoid reading memory for loading r1 with a value
we already know.

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.
