If a system call is made with a transaction active, the kernel
immediately aborts it and returns. scv system calls disable irqs even
earlier in their interrupt handler, and tabort_syscall does not fix this
up.
This can result in irq soft-mask state being messed up on the next
kernel entry, and crashing at BUG_ON(arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs)) in
the kernel exit handlers, or possibly worse.
This can't easily be fixed in asm because at this point an async irq may
have hit, which is soft-masked and marked pending. The pending interrupt
has to be replayed before returning to userspace. The fix is to move the
tabort_syscall code to C in the main syscall handler, and just skip the
system call but otherwise return as usual, which will take care of the
pending irqs. This also does a bunch of other things including possible
signal delivery to the process, but the doomed transaction should still
be aborted when it is eventually returned to.
The sc system call path is changed to use the new C function as well to
reduce code and path differences. This slows down how quickly system
calls are aborted when called while a transaction is active, which could
potentially impact TM performance. But making any system call is already
bad for performance, and TM is on the way out, so go with simpler over
faster.

Code which runs with interrupts enabled should be moved above
__end_soft_masked where possible, because maskable interrupts that hit
below that symbol will need to consult the soft mask table, which is an
extra cost.

Normal kernel-interrupt exits can get interrupt_return_srr_user_restart
in their backtrace, which is an unusual and notable function, and it is
part of the user-interrupt exit path, which is doubly confusing.
Add non-local labels for both user and kernel interrupt exit cases to
address this and make the user and kernel cases more symmetric. Also get
rid of an unused label.

Commit 9d1988ca87 ("powerpc/64: treat low kernel text as irqs
soft-masked") ends up catching too much code, including ret_from_fork,
and parts of interrupt and syscall return that do not expect to be
interrupts to be soft-masked. If an interrupt gets marked pending,
and then the code proceeds out of the implicit soft-masked region it
will fail to deal with the pending interrupt.
Fix this by adding a new table of addresses which explicitly marks
the regions of code that are soft masked. This table is only checked
for interrupts that below __end_soft_masked, so most kernel interrupts
will not have the overhead of the table search.

The implicit soft-masking to speed up interrupt return was going to be
used by 64e as well, but it has not been extensively tested on that
platform and is not considered ready. It was intended to be disabled
before merge. Disable it for now.
Most of the restart code is common with 64s, so with more correctness
and performance testing this could be re-enabled again by adding the
extra soft-mask checks to interrupt handlers and flipping
exit_must_hard_disable().

Use the restart table facility to return from interrupt or system calls
without disabling MSR[EE] or MSR[RI].
Interrupt return asm is put into the low soft-masked region, to prevent
interrupts being processed here, although they are still taken as masked
interrupts which causes SRRs to be clobbered, and a pending soft-masked
interrupt to require replaying.
The return code uses restart table regions to redirct to a fixup handler
rather than continue with the exit, if such an interrupt happens. In
this case the interrupt return is redirected to a fixup handler which
reloads r1 for the interrupt stack and reloads registers and sets state
up to replay the soft-masked interrupt and try the exit again.
Some types of security exit fallback flushes and barriers are currently
unable to cope with reentrant interrupts, e.g., because they store some
state in the scratch SPR which would be clobbered even by masked
interrupts. For now the interrupts-enabled exits are disabled when these
flushes are used.
