Subject: [PATCH 4.14 075/115] powerpc/64s: Make rfi_flush_fallback a little more robust

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

[ Upstream commit 78ee9946371f5848ddfc88ab1a43867df8f17d83 ]

Because rfi_flush_fallback runs immediately before the return to
userspace it currently runs with the user r1 (stack pointer). This
means if we oops in there we will report a bad kernel stack pointer in
the exception entry path, eg:

  Bad kernel stack pointer 7ffff7150e40 at c0000000000023b4
  Oops: Bad kernel stack pointer, sig: 6 [#1]
  LE SMP NR_CPUS=32 NUMA PowerNV

Although the NIP tells us where we were, and the TRAP number tells us
what happened, it would still be nicer if we could report the actual
exception rather than barfing about the stack pointer.

We an do that fairly simply by loading the kernel stack pointer on
entry and restoring the user value before returning. That way we see a
regular oops such as:

  Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c00000000000239c

  Call Trace:
  [c0000000f1e17e30] [c00000000000b9e4] system_call+0x5c/0x70 (unreliable)

Note this shouldn't make the kernel stack pointer vulnerable to a
meltdown attack, because it should be flushed from the cache before we
return to userspace. The user r1 value will be in the cache, because
we load it in the return path, but that is harmless.
