Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This includes small series from Michael Neuling to fix a couple of nasty remaining problems with the new Power8 support, also targeted at stable 3.10, without which some new userspace accessible registers aren't properly context switched, and in some case, can be clobbered by the user of transactional memory. Along with that, a few slightly more minor things, such as a missing Kconfig option to enable handling of denorm exceptions when not running under a hypervisor (or userspace will randomly crash when hitting denorms with the vector unit), some nasty bugs in the new pstore oops code, and other simple bug fixes worth having in now. Note: I picked up the two powerpc KVM fixes as Alex Graf asked me to handle KVM bits while he is on vacation. However I'll let him decide whether they should go to -stable or not when he is back" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/tm: Fix context switching TAR, PPR and DSCR SPRs powerpc: Save the TAR register earlier powerpc: Fix context switch DSCR on POWER8 powerpc: Rework setting up H/FSCR bit definitions powerpc: Fix hypervisor facility unavaliable vector number powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr: Return appropriate error when allocation fails powerpc/kvm: Add signed type cast for comparation powerpc/eeh: Add missing procfs entry for PowerNV powerpc/pseries: Add backward compatibilty to read old kernel oops-log powerpc/pseries: Fix buffer overflow when reading from pstore powerpc: On POWERNV enable PPC_DENORMALISATION by default

If a transaction is rolled back, the Target Address Register (TAR), Processor Priority Register (PPR) and Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) should be restored to the checkpointed values before the transaction began. Any changes to these SPRs inside the transaction should not be visible in the abort handler. Currently Linux doesn't save or restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR or DSCR. If we preempt a processes inside a transaction which has modified any of these, on process restore, that same transaction may be aborted we but we won't see the checkpointed versions of these SPRs. This adds checkpointed versions of these SPRs to the thread_struct and adds the save/restore of these three SPRs to the treclaim/trechkpt code. Without this if any of these SPRs are modified during a transaction, users may incorrectly see a speculated SPR value even if the transaction is aborted.

This moves us to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a earlier in __switch_to. It introduces a new function save_tar() to do this. We need to save the TAR earlier as we will overwrite it in the transactional memory reclaim/recheckpoint path. We are going to do this in a subsequent patch which will fix saving the TAR register when it's modified inside a transaction.

POWER8 allows the DSCR to be accessed directly from userspace via a new SPR number 0x3 (Rather than 0x11. DSCR SPR number 0x11 is still used on POWER8 but like POWER7, is only accessible in HV and OS modes). Currently, we allow this by setting H/FSCR DSCR bit on boot. Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the kernel needs to see the DSCR change so that it knows to no longer restore the system wide version of DSCR on context switch (ie. to set thread.dscr_inherit). This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially. If a process then accesses the DSCR (via SPR 0x3), it'll trap into the kernel where we set thread.dscr_inherit in facility_unavailable_exception(). We also change _switch() so that we set or clear the H/FSCR DSCR bit based on the thread.dscr_inherit.

This reworks the Facility Status and Control Regsiter (FSCR) config bit definitions so that we can access the bit numbers. This is needed for a subsequent patch to fix the userspace DSCR handling. HFSCR and FSCR bit definitions are the same, so reuse them.

Currently if we take hypervisor facility unavaliable (from 0xf80/0x4f80) we mark it as an OS facility unavaliable (0xf60) as the two share the same code path. The becomes a problem in facility_unavailable_exception() as we aren't able to see the hypervisor facility unavailable exceptions. Below fixes this by duplication the required macros.
