The decrementer exception can fail to be cleared when the interrupt
returns in the case where the decrementer wraps with the next timer
still beyond decrementer_max. This results in a decrementer interrupt
storm. This is triggerable with small decrementer system with hard
and soft watchdogs disabled.

Fix this by always programming the decrementer if there was no timer.

<content type='text'>
Enabling MSR[EE] in interrupt handlers while interrupts are still soft
masked allows PMIs to profile interrupt handlers to some degree, beyond
what SIAR latching allows.

When perf is not being used, this is almost useless work. It requires an
extra mtmsrd in the irq handler, and it also opens the door to masked
interrupts hitting and requiring replay, which is more expensive than
just taking them directly. This effect can be noticable in high IRQ
workloads.

Avoid enabling MSR[EE] unless perf is currently in use. This saves about
60 cycles (or 8%) on a simple decrementer interrupt microbenchmark.
Replayed interrupts drop from 1.4% of all interrupts taken, to 0.003%.

This does prevent the soft-nmi interrupt being taken in these handlers,
but that's not too reliable anyway. The SMP watchdog will continue to be
the reliable way to catch lockups.

We have many functionnalities common to 40x and BOOKE, it leads to
many places with #if defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) || defined(CONFIG_40x).

We are going to add a few more with KUAP for booke/40x, so create
a new symbol which is defined when either BOOKE or 40x is defined.

<title>powerpc/time: add API for KVM to re-arm the host timer/decrementer</title>

<id>25aa145856cd0d94864bf501218be84a7c8062ae</id>
<content type='text'>
Rather than have KVM look up the host timer and fiddle with the
irq-work internal details, have the powerpc/time.c code provide a
function for KVM to re-arm the Linux timer code when exiting a
guest.

This is implementation has an improvement over existing code of
marking a decrementer interrupt as soft-pending if a timer has
expired, rather than setting DEC to a -ve value, which tended to
cause host timers to take two interrupts (first hdec to exit the
guest, then the immediate dec).

On processors that don't suppress the HDEC exceptions when LPCR[HDICE]=0,
this could help reduce needless guest exits due to leftover exceptions on
entering the guest.

There is no need to save away the host DEC value, as it is derived
from the host timer subsystem which maintains the next timer time,
so it can be restored from there.

Merge our fixes branch into next.

That lets us resolve a conflict in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/common.c.

Between cbc06f051c52 ("powerpc/xive: Do not skip CPU-less nodes when
creating the IPIs"), which moved request_irq() out of xive_init_ipis(),
and 17df41fec5b8 ("powerpc: use IRQF_NO_DEBUG for IPIs") which added
IRQF_NO_DEBUG to that request_irq() call, which has now moved.

Here the problem is that by re-enterring an exception handler,
kuap_save_and_lock() is called a second time with this time KUAP
access locked, leading to regs-&gt;kuap being overwritten hence
KUAP not being unlocked at exception exit as expected.

Do not call do_IRQ() from timer_interrupt() directly. Instead,
redefine do_IRQ() as a standard function named __do_IRQ(), and
call it from both do_IRQ() and time_interrupt() handlers.

An interrupt handler shall not be called from another interrupt
handler otherwise this leads to problems like the following:
