Scott Wood 9d378dfac8 powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG7 for VDSO ... Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented). In commit 8b64a9dfb0 ("powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues: - It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time). - It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions. - It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all (by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after I made (most of) this patch. :-) It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with SPRG for all exceptions. Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO there.
