PATCH v5 1/1 KVM: PPC: Book3E HV: call RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE to sync the software state

We enter with interrupts disabled in hardware, but we need to call RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE anyway to ensure that the software state is kept in sync instead of calling hard_irq_disable() directly.

---
v5:

Fix one typo in the comment.

v4:

Fix one typo in the patch description.

v3:

Base on the latest tree, now we can use RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE instead of SOFT_DISABLE_INTS.

v2:

Move SOFT_DISABLE_INTS[1] earlier to avoid clobbering the arguments we want to pass to kvmppc_handle_exit.

Alex,

I already addressed Scott's comment, any further feedback?

Apart from the fact that we don't build PR for 64bit and only 64bit does do lazy EE, is there any reason this code moves from booke.c into HV only paths?

Oh, and sorry for the late reply :).

Why didn't this happen before? What is this patch fixing?

It's cleanup, not a fix. It makes things more consistent with other 64-bit kernel entry code.

Could we please note this in the comit message so that whoever stumbles over the patch later knows that this is effectively a no-op (and just prepones the lazy sync)?

Also, I'm still wary of lazy breakage in the pr code path, but I guess since it's completely untested today already it's ok to ignore.

PR doesn't support 64-bit at all (e.g. it's all stw/lwz rather than some word-size abstraction). In the unlikely event that lazy EE is ever extended to 32-bit, then fixing up booke_interrupts.S would be just one part of the task of updating all the 32-bit asm (e.g. you'll find RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE in entry_64.S but not entry_32.S).

I've also taken the liberty of making the patch description be more verbose:

KVM: PPC: Book3E HV: call RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE to sync the software state

Rather than calling hard_irq_disable() when we're back in C code we can just call RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE to soft disable IRQs while we're already in hard disabled state.

This should be functionally equivalent to the code before, but cleaner and faster.

[agraf: fix comment, commit message]

Thanks, applied to kvm-ppc-queue.
