Nicholas Piggin 5e46e29e6a powerpc/64s/hash: convert SLB miss handlers to C
This patch moves SLB miss handlers completely to C, using the standard
exception handler macros to set up the stack and branch to C.

This can be done because the segment containing the kernel stack is
always bolted, so accessing it with relocation on will not cause an
SLB exception.

Arbitrary kernel memory may not be accessed when handling kernel space
SLB misses, so care should be taken there. However user SLB misses can
access any kernel memory, which can be used to move some fields out of
the paca (in later patches).

User SLB misses could quite easily reconcile IRQs and set up a first
class kernel environment and exit via ret_from_except, however that
doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment, so we only do that if a
bad fault is encountered.

  address handling, etc ]

Since RFC:
- Added MSR[RI] handling
- Fixed up a register loss bug exposed by irq tracing (Aneesh)
- Reject misses outside the defined kernel regions (Aneesh)
- Added several more sanity checks and error handling (Aneesh), we may
  look at consolidating these tests and tightenig up the code but for
  a first pass we decided it's better to check carefully.

Since v1:
- Fixed SLB cache corruption (Aneesh)
- Fixed untidy SLBE allocation "leak" in get_vsid error case
- Now survives some stress testing on real hardware

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
