<title>powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid</title>

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

Use PPC_RAW_ macros to simplify the code.

And use PPC_LO/PPC_HI instead of IMM_L/IMM_H which are for
internal use inside ppc-opcode.h

Those macros are self explanatory, comments can go as well.

nip is already an unsigned long, no cast needed.

op_callback_addr and emulate_step_addr are kprobe_opcode_t *.
There value is obtained with ppc_kallsyms_lookup_name() which
returns 'unsigned long', and there values are used create_branch()
which expects 'unsigned long'. So change them to 'unsigned long'
to avoid casting them back and forth.

can_optimize() used p-&gt;addr several times as 'unsigned long'.
Use a local 'unsigned long' variable and avoid casting multiple times.

'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but
in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever.

Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in
memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct
ppc_inst *'.

It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.

Commit 51c9c0843993 ("powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes")
implemented a powerpc specific version of optinsn in order
to workaround the 32Mb limitation for direct branches.

Instead of implementing a dedicated powerpc version, use the
common optinsn and override the allocation and freeing functions.

This also indirectly remove the CLANG warning about
is_kprobe_ppc_optinsn_slot() not being use, and the powerpc will
now benefit from commit 5b485629ba0d ("kprobes, extable: Identify
kprobes trampolines as kernel text area")

For that, create a 32 bits version of patch_imm64_load_insns()
and create a patch_imm_load_insns() which calls
patch_imm32_load_insns() on PPC32 and patch_imm64_load_insns()
on PPC64.

Adapt optprobes_head.S for PPC32. Use PPC_LL/PPC_STL macros instead
of raw ld/std, opt out things linked to paca and use stmw/lmw to
save/restore registers.

In order to simplify use on PPC32, change ppc_inst_as_u64()
into ppc_inst_as_ulong() that returns the 32 bits instruction
on PPC32.

In order to simplify use on PPC32, change ppc_inst_as_u64()
into ppc_inst_as_ulong() that returns the 32 bits instruction
on PPC32.

Will be used when porting OPTPROBES to PPC32.

patch_imm64_load_insns() is only used locally in
arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe() and does not need to be external.

It fixes this W=1 compile error :

../arch/powerpc/kernel/optprobes.c:149:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘patch_imm64_load_insns’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
  149 | void patch_imm64_load_insns(unsigned int val, kprobe_opcode_t *addr)
