powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU
Now that thread_info is similar to task_struct, its address is in r2 so CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro is useless. This patch removes it.
This patch also moves the 'tovirt(r2, r2)' down just before the reactivation of MMU translation, so that we keep the physical address of 'current' in r2 until then. It avoids a few calls to tophys().
At the same time, as the 'cpu' field is not anymore in thread_info, TI_CPU is renamed TASK_CPU by this patch.
It also allows to get rid of a couple of
'#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE' as ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY() and ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_EXIT() are empty when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE is not defined.

--- Comment #5 from Christophe Leroy ([email protected]) --- Apparently, MSR DR is not sent and DAR has value 0xc0090654, meaning that a virt address tries to get accessed while in real mode.

--- Comment #8 from Erhard F. ([email protected]) ---
I tried to apply the patch on top of 5.1.0 but it did not work out 'cause there is no arch/powerpc/mm/book3s32/hash_low.S. The correct file on my system seemed arch/powerpc/mm/hash_low_32.S, but changing the path in the patch did not work either.
What actually did work was manually applying your proposed change in arch/powerpc/mm/book3s32/hash_low.S! Now the G4 boots up fine with 5.1.0 as it did with 5.0.x.
Many thanks for the fix!

--- Comment #9 from Erhard F. ([email protected]) --- @Christophe: Oops, accidentally I trashed your last comment. Sorry! This patch didn't apply either. There is no book3s32 directory in my linux-stable tree, the hash_*.S files are directly in mm/
But does not matter, your code change works!

--- Comment #10 from Christophe Leroy ([email protected]) --- Thanks for testing.
Proposed patch at https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1097492/
Note that the backport to stable should be straight forward as the directory and file name changes are in following commit:
