powerpc: Save CFAR before branching in interrupt entry paths
Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only 32 bytes long, which is not enough for the full first-level interrupt handler. For these we currently just have a branch to an out-of-line handler. However, this means that we corrupt the CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors. To fix this, we split the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 macro into two pieces: EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the PACA, and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 contains the rest. We then put EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 in the short interrupt vectors before we branch to the out-of-line handler, which contains the rest of the first-level interrupt handler. To facilitate this, we define new _OOL (out of line) variants of STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES, etc. In order to get EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 to be short enough, i.e., no more than 6 instructions, it was necessary to move the stores that move the PPR and CFAR values into the PACA into __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 and to get rid of one of the two HMT_MEDIUM instructions. Previously there was a HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD before the prolog, which was nop'd out on processors with the PPR (POWER7 and later), and then another HMT_MEDIUM inside the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE macro call inside __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1, which was nop'd out on processors without PPR. Now the HMT_MEDIUM inside EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 is there unconditionally and the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not strictly necessary, although this leaves it in for the interrupt vectors where there is room for it. Previously we had a handler for hypervisor maintenance interrupts at 0xe50, which doesn't leave enough room for the vector for hypervisor emulation assist interrupts at 0xe40, since we need 8 instructions. The 0xe50 vector was only used on POWER6, as the HMI vector was moved to 0xe60 on POWER7. Since we don't support running in hypervisor mode on POWER6, we just remove the handler at 0xe50. This also changes denorm_exception_hv to use EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 instead of open-coding it, and removes the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD from the relocation-on vectors (since any CPU that supports relocation-on interrupts also has the PPR).
