[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 173/293] MIPS: Handle tlbex-tlbp race condition

[Sasha Levin]

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f39878cc5b09c75d35eaf52131e920b872e3feb4 ]

In systems where there are multiple actors updating the TLB, the
potential exists for a race condition wherein a CPU hits a TLB exception
but by the time it reaches a TLBP instruction the affected TLB entry may
have been replaced. This can happen if, for example, a CPU shares the
TLB between hardware threads (VPs) within a core and one of them
replaces the entry that another has just taken a TLB exception for.

We handle this race in the case of the Hardware Table Walker (HTW) being
the other actor already, but didn't take into account the potential for
multiple threads racing. Include the code for aborting TLB exception
handling in affected multi-threaded systems, those being the I6400 &
I6500 CPUs which share TLB entries between VPs.

In the case of using RiXi without dedicated exceptions we have never
handled this race even for HTW. This patch adds WARN()s to these cases
which ought never to be hit because all CPUs with either HTW or shared
FTLB RAMs also include dedicated RiXi exceptions, but the WARN()s will
ensure this is always the case.
