commit ab45fb145096799dabd18afc58bb5f97171017cd upstream.

There are multiple factors adding to the issue in different
configurations:

- commit 17290231df16eeee ("xtensa: add fixup for double exception raised
  in window overflow") added function window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup to
  double exception vector overlapping reset vector location of secondary
  processor cores.
- on MMUv2 cores RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR may point to uncached kernel memory
  making code overlapping depend on cache type and size, so that without
  cache or with WT cache reset vector code overwrites double exception
  code, making issue even harder to detect.
- on MMUv3 cores RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR may point to unmapped area, as
  MMUv3 cores change virtual address map to match MMUv2 layout, but
  reset vector virtual address is given for the original MMUv3 mapping.
- physical memory region of the secondary reset vector is not reserved
  in the physical memory map, and thus may be allocated and overwritten
  at arbitrary moment.

Fix it as follows:

- move window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup code to .text section.
- define RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR so that it points to reset vector in the
  cacheable MMUv2 map for cores with MMU.
- reserve reset vector region in the physical memory map. Drop separate
  literal section and build mxhead.S with text section literals.

There are two FIXMEs in the double exception handler 'for the extremely
unlikely case'. This case gets hit by gcc during kernel build once in
a few hours, resulting in an unrecoverable exception condition.

Provide missing fixup routine to handle this case. Double exception
literals now need 8 more bytes, add them to the linker script.

Also replace bbsi instructions with bbsi.l as we're branching depending
on 8th and 7th LSB-based bits of exception address.

This may be tested by adding the explicit DTLB invalidation to window
overflow handlers, like the following:

    --- a/arch/xtensa/kernel/vectors.S
    +++ b/arch/xtensa/kernel/vectors.S
    @@ -592,6 +592,14 @@ ENDPROC(_WindowUnderflow4)

<title>xtensa: fix fast_syscall_spill_registers</title>

The original implementation could clobber registers under certain conditions.

The Xtensa processor architecture uses windowed registers and the original
implementation was using a4 as a temporary register, which under certain
conditions could be register a0 of the oldest window frame, and didn't always
restore the content correctly.

By moving the _spill_registers routine inside the fast system call, it frees
up one more register (the return address is not required anymore) for the
spill routine.

<title>xtensa: disable IRQs while IRQ handler is running</title>

IRQ handlers are expected to run with IRQs disabled.
See e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/380931/ for a longer story.

This was overlooked in the commit
  2d1c645 xtensa: dispatch medium-priority interrupts
Revert to old behavior and simplify interrupt entry and exit code.
Interrupt handler still honours IRQ priority.

do_notify_resume/schedule must be called with interrupts enabled, enable
interrupts if we return from user exception.

MMUv3 comes out of reset with identity vaddr -&gt; paddr mapping in the TLB
way 6:
