powerpc/64/sycall: Implement syscall entry/exit logic in C
System call entry and particularly exit code is beyond the limit of
what is reasonable to implement in asm.
This conversion moves all conditional branches out of the asm code,
except for the case that all GPRs should be restored at exit.
Null syscall test is about 5% faster after this patch, because the
exit work is handled under local_irq_disable, and the hard mask and
pending interrupt replay is handled after that, which avoids games
with MSR.
mpe: Includes subsequent fixes from Nick:
This fixes 4 issues caught by TM selftests. First was a tm-syscall bug
that hit due to tabort_syscall being called after interrupts were
reconciled (in a subsequent patch), which led to interrupts being
enabled before tabort_syscall was called. Rather than going through an
un-reconciling interrupts for the return, I just go back to putting
the test early in asm, the C-ification of that wasn't a big win
anyway.
Second is the syscall return _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK check would go into
an infinite loop if _TIF_RESTORE_TM became set. The asm code uses
_TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to brach to slowpath which includes
restore_tm_state.
Third is system call return was not calling restore_tm_state, I missed
this completely (alhtough it's in the return from interrupt C
conversion because when the asm syscall code encountered problems it
would branch to the interrupt return code.
Fourth is MSR_VEC missing from restore_math, which was caught by
tm-unavailable selftest taking an unexpected facility unavailable
interrupt when testing VSX unavailble exception with MSR.FP=1
MSR.VEC=1. Fourth case also has a fixup in a subsequent patch.
