We already have mce.c which is built for 64bit and contains other parts
of the machine check code, so move these bits in there too.

<title>powerpc/64s: Machine check handle ifetch from foreign real address for POWER9</title>

<content type='text'>
The i-side 0111b machine check, which is "Instruction Fetch to foreign
address space", was missed by 7b9f71f974 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine
check handler").

    The POWER9 processor core considers host real addresses with a
    nonzero value in RA(8:12) as foreign address space, accessible only
    by the copy and paste instructions. The copy and paste instruction
    pair can be used to invoke the Nest accelerators via the Virtual
    Accelerator Switchboard (VAS).

It is an error for any regular load/store or ifetch to go to a foreign
addresses. When relocation is on, this causes an MMU exception. When
relocation is off, a machine check exception. It is possible to trigger
this machine check by branching to a foreign address with MSR[IR]=0.

machine_check_early() gets called in real mode. The very first time when
add_taint() is called, it prints a warning which ends up calling opal
call (that uses OPAL_CALL wrapper) for writing it to console. If we get a
very first machine check while we are in opal we are doomed. OPAL_CALL
overwrites the PACASAVEDMSR in r13 and in this case when we are done with
MCE handling the original opal call will use this new MSR on it's way
back to opal_return. This usually leads to unexpected behaviour or the
kernel to panic. Instead move the add_taint() call later in the virtual
mode where it is safe to call.

This is broken with current FW level. We got lucky so far for not getting
very first MCE hit while in OPAL. But easily reproducible on Mambo.

For an MCE (Machine Check Exception) that hits while in user mode
MSR(PR=1), print the task info to the console MCE error log. This may
help to identify an application that triggered the MCE.

After this patch the MCE console looks like:

For D-side errors we print the load/store address that caused the
machine check as 'Effective address'. But the instruction that may have
caused the machine check can also be helpful, so in addition to printing
the NIP, also print the kernel function name as well.

After this patch the MCE console log would look like:

<content type='text'>
Add POWER9 machine check handler. There are several new types of errors
added, so logging messages for those are also added.

This doesn't attempt to reuse any of the P7/8 defines or functions,
because that becomes too complex. The better option in future is to use
a table driven approach.

Currently severity and initiator are always set to MCE_SEV_ERROR_SYNC and
MCE_INITIATOR_CPU in the core mce code. Allow them to be set by the
machine specific mce handlers.

No functional change for existing handlers.
