[RFC PATCH v1 13/16] powerpc: Fix 32-bit handling of MSR_EE on exceptions

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Fri Feb 08 2019 - 07:53:09 EST


[text mostly copied from benh's RFC/WIP]

ppc32 are still doing something rather gothic and wrong on 32-bit
which we stopped doing on 64-bit a while ago.

We have that thing where some handlers "copy" the EE value from the
original stack frame into the new MSR before transferring to the
handler.

Thus for a number of exceptions, we enter the handlers with interrupts
enabled.

This is rather fishy, some of the stuff that handlers might do early
on such as irq_enter/exit or user_exit, context tracking, etc...
should be run with interrupts off afaik.

Generally our handlers know when to re-enable interrupts if needed.

The problem we were having is that we assumed these interrupts would
return with interrupts enabled. However that isn't the case.

Instead, this patch changes things so that we always enter exception
handlers with interrupts *off* with the notable exception of syscalls
which are special (and get a fast path).
