POWER10 DD1 has an issue where it generates watchpoint exceptions when
it shouldn't. The conditions where this occur are:
- octword op
- ending address of DAWR range is less than starting address of op
- those addresses need to be in the same or in two consecutive 512B
blocks
- 'op address + 64B' generates an address that has a carry into bit
52 (crosses 2K boundary)
Handle such spurious exception by considering them as extraneous and
emulating/single-steeping instruction without generating an event.

Perf event attritube supports exclude_kernel flag to avoid
sampling/profiling in supervisor state (kernel). Based on this event
attr flag, Monitor Mode Control Register bit is set to freeze on
supervisor state. But sometimes (due to hardware limitation), Sampled
Instruction Address Register (SIAR) locks on to kernel address even
when freeze on supervisor is set. Patch here adds a check to drop
those samples.

This is way to catch some cases of decrementer overflow, when the
decrementer has underflowed an odd number of times, while MSR[EE] was
disabled.
With a typical small decrementer, a timer that fires when MSR[EE] is
disabled will be "lost" if MSR[EE] remains disabled for between 4.3 and
8.6 seconds after the timer expires. In any case, the decrementer
interrupt would be taken at 8.6 seconds and the timer would be found at
that point.
So this check is for catching extreme latency events, and it prevents
those latencies from being a further few seconds long. It's not obvious
this is a good tradeoff. This is already a watchdog magnitude event and
that situation is not improved a significantly with this check. For
large decrementers, it's useless.
Therefore remove this check, which avoids a mftb when enabling hard
disabled interrupts (e.g., when enabling after coming from hardware
interrupt handlers). Perhaps more importantly, it also removes the
clunky MSR[EE] vs PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS incoherency in soft-interrupt replay
which simplifies the code.

All hugetlb range freeing functions have a verification like the following,
which only differs by the mask used, depending on the page table level.
start &= MASK;
if (start < floor)
return;
if (ceiling) {
ceiling &= MASK;
if (! ceiling)
return;
}
if (end - 1 > ceiling - 1)
return;
Refactor that into a helper function which takes the mask as
an argument, returning true when [start;end[ is not fully
contained inside [floor;ceiling[

Exception fixup doesn't require the heady full regs saving,
do it from do_page_fault() directly.
For that, split bad_page_fault() in two parts.
As bad_page_fault() can also be called from other places than
handle_page_fault(), it will still perform exception fixup and
fallback on __bad_page_fault().
handle_page_fault() directly calls __bad_page_fault() as the
exception fixup will now be done by do_page_fault()

search_exception_tables() is an heavy operation, we have to avoid it.
When KUAP is selected, we'll know the fault has been blocked by KUAP.
When it is blocked by KUAP, check whether we are in an expected
userspace access place. If so, emit a warning to spot something is
going work. Otherwise, just remain silent, it will likely Oops soon.
When KUAP is not selected, it behaves just as if the address was
already in the TLBs and no fault was generated.

On hash 32 bits, handling minor protection faults like unsetting
dirty flag is heavy if done from the normal page_fault processing,
because it implies hash table software lookup for flushing the entry
and then a DSI is taken anyway to add the entry back.
When KUAP was implemented, as explained in commit a68c31fc01
("powerpc/32s: Implement Kernel Userspace Access Protection"),
protection faults has been diverted from hash_page() because
hash_page() was not able to identify a KUAP fault.
Implement KUAP verification in hash_page(), by clearing write
permission when the access is a kernel access and Ks is 1.
This works regardless of the address because kernel segments always
have Ks set to 0 while user segments have Ks set to 0 only
when kernel write to userspace is granted.
Then protection faults can be handled by hash_page() even for KUAP.

book3s/32 has two main families:
- CPU with 603 cores that don't have HASH PTE table and
perform SW TLB loading.
- Other CPUs based on 604+ cores that have HASH PTE table.
This leads to some complex logic and additionnal code to
support both. This makes sense for distribution kernels
that aim at running on any CPU, but when you are fine
tuning a kernel for an embedded 603 based board you
don't need all the HASH logic.
Allow selection of support for each family, in order to opt
out unneeded parts of code. At least one must be selected.
Note that some of the CPU supporting HASH also support SW TLB
loading, however it is not supported by Linux kernel at the
time being, because they do not have alternate registers in
the TLB miss exception handlers.

Commit bd59380c5b ("powerpc/rtas: Restrict RTAS requests from userspace")
introduced the following error when invoking the errinjct userspace
tool:

The entry for ibm,open-errinjct in rtas_filter array has a typo where
the "j" is omitted in the rtas call name. After fixing this typo the
errinjct tool functions again as expected.
