powerpc/64: use interrupt restart table to speed up return from interrupt
Use the restart table facility to return from interrupt or system calls
without disabling MSR[EE] or MSR[RI].
Interrupt return asm is put into the low soft-masked region, to prevent
interrupts being processed here, although they are still taken as masked
interrupts which causes SRRs to be clobbered, and a pending soft-masked
interrupt to require replaying.
The return code uses restart table regions to redirct to a fixup handler
rather than continue with the exit, if such an interrupt happens. In
this case the interrupt return is redirected to a fixup handler which
reloads r1 for the interrupt stack and reloads registers and sets state
up to replay the soft-masked interrupt and try the exit again.
Some types of security exit fallback flushes and barriers are currently
unable to cope with reentrant interrupts, e.g., because they store some
state in the scratch SPR which would be clobbered even by masked
interrupts. For now the interrupts-enabled exits are disabled when these
flushes are used.
