Brian King cd5aeb9f6c powerpc: Fix vio_bus_probe oops on probe error
When CMO is enabled and booted on a non CMO system and the VIO
device's probe function fails, an oops can result since
vio_cmo_bus_remove is called when it should not.  This fixes it by
avoiding the vio_cmo_bus_remove call on platforms that don't implement
CMO.

Joachim Fenkes 4589f1fe57 powerpc/ibmebus: Restore "name" sysfs attribute on ibmebus devices
Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus
type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus
devices previously had is no longer present.  This is a user-visible
regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA
userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid
adapters.

This fixes it by providing the "name" attribute in the generic OF
device code instead.  Tested on POWER.

There is a static module_find_bug in lib/bug.c but that is a separate issue.

Rocky Craig 9acd57ca74 powerpc: Fix TLB invalidation on boot on 32-bit
The intent of "flush_tlbs" is to invalidate all TLB entries by doing a
TLB invalidate instruction for all pages in the address range 0 to
0x00400000.  A loop counter is set up at the high value and
decremented by page size.  However, the loop is only done once as the
sense of the conditional branch at the loop end does not match the
setup/decrement.  This fixes it to do the whole range by correcting
the branch condition.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 8db13a0e1e powerpc/pci: Don't keep ISA memory hole resources in the tree
When we have an ISA memory hole (ie, a PCI window that allows us to
generate PCI memory cycles at low PCI address) mixed with other
resources using a different CPU <=> PCI mapping, we must not keep
the ISA hole in the bridge resource list.

If we do, things might start trying to allocate device resources
in there and will get the PCI addresses wrong.

This fixes it by arranging to remove the ISA memory hole resource in
this case.  This fixes various cases of PCMCIA breakage on PowerBooks
using the MPC106 "grackle" bridge.

Nathan Fontenot b79998fc2e powerpc: Zero fill the return values of rtas argument buffer
The kernel copy of the rtas args struct contains the return
value(s) for the specified rtas call.  These are copied back
to user space with the assumption that every value has been
set by the rtas call, which turns out to be not always true.
Thus userspace can see random values and think the call failed
when in fact it succeeded, but for some reason didn't set one
of the return values.

This fixes the problem by zeroing out the return value fields
of the rtas args struct before processing the rtas call.

then assumes any non-hcall return value is bad and sets the return

return value. This patch removes the automatic setting of any
return code that is not an hcall return value from these routines

Nathan Lynch 124c27d375 powerpc: Show processor cache information in sysfs
Collect cache information from the OF device tree and display it in
the cpu hierarchy in sysfs.  This is intended to be compatible at the
userspace level with x86's implementation[1], hence some of the funny
attribute names.  The arrangement of cache info is not immediately
intuitive, but (again) it's for compatibility's sake.

The cache attributes exposed are:

type (Data, Instruction, or Unified)
level (1, 2, 3...)
size
coherency_line_size
number_of_sets
ways_of_associativity

All of these can be derived on platforms that follow the OF PowerPC
Processor binding.  The code "publishes" only those attributes for
which it is able to determine values; attributes for values which
cannot be determined are not created at all.

Huang Ying 3ab8352137 kexec jump
This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
following features:

- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
  kexec.

- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.

The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.

kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10

Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.

3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.

5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
   line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode

6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

Implementation point:

To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.

C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.

A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

Srinivasa D S ef53d9c5e4 kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).

Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.

Solution:

 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
    present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
    two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
    lock for kretporbe object.

 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
    instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
    modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
    deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
    lock.

 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
    track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
    table.

Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

Robert Jennings a90ab95a95 powerpc/pseries: vio bus support for CMO
This is a large patch but the normal code path is not affected.  For
non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled
pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path.  Devices that
do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch.
The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for
clarity.

Overview

Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions
to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of
partitions.  The firmware will balance memory between the partitions
and page in/out memory as needed.  Based on the number and type of IO
adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for
DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition;
this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'.

Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices
present.  The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system.
Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus
code and exposed via sysfs.  A set of dma_ops functions are added to
the bus to allow for this accounting.

Bus initialization

At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system
based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement
along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events.
If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted.

Device changes

The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the
devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and
must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained
IO memory.  The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when
DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully.

Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always
be mapped.  Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and
the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this.  Devices can change their
desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs
(via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time.

VIO bus changes

The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which
it can provide memory to the devices.  The bus defines two pools of memory
within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools.  Each device is
provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum
entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's
desired entitlement.  The entitlement provided to devices comes from the
reserve pool.  The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as
large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device
hotplug events.  Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a
reserve pool is placed in the excess pool.  Each device is guaranteed
that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible
as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool.

Bus probe

As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only
to the system defined minimum entitlement.  The reserve pool is equal
to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation.  The VIO bus
also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices.  If the
system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool,
when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation
will be scheduled for some time in the future.

Entitlement balancing

The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the
devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's
desired amount of entitlement.  Devices using more than what would be
ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively
set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and
deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly
unmapped memory.  A fair distribution of entitlement can take several
balance operations to achieve.  Entitlement changes and device DLPAR
events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations.

Hotplug events

The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via
'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'.  When devices are added the hotplug
device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this
is reversed when devices are removed.

The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO:
 * add IO memory accounting per device structure.
 * add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure.
 * during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has
   memory entitlement query function defined.  Fail if function not defined.
 * fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined.
 * create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations
   and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached.  Entitlement will
   limited by overall system entitlement.  Devices will have a reserved
   quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available.
 * expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the
   allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs
 * provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time
   for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable
 * track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device.
 * check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add
 * track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage)
 * provide function to reset high water mark
 * provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level
 * provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement
 * balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs
 * handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug

Robert Jennings 6490c4903d powerpc/pseries: iommu enablement for CMO
To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check
for failure from some of the tce hcalls.

These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture;
patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch.

pSeries platform IOMMU code changes:
 * platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and
   return an error.

Architecture IOMMU code changes:
 * Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return
   DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors.

Architecture changes:
 * struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change
   to indicate failure.
 * all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new
   calling semantics; they will return 0 on success.  The other platforms
   default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.

Andrea Righi 27ac792ca0 PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.

It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.

The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

Segher Boessenkool c69cccc95f powerpc: Fix build bug with binutils < 2.18 and GCC < 4.2
binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an
ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input.  This
happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic
in this linker script.  People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into
this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data
into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address).

To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy"
segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a
non-zero load address.  It's not enough to always create the
"notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load
address will be zero.

Torez Smith 79e25bac12 powerpc: Indicate which oprofile counters to use while in compat mode
While running on a system with new hardware and a kernel where the
cpu_specs[] table does not recognize the new hardware, the identify_cpu()
routine will select the default case as it searches through cpu_specs[]
in an attempt to match the real PVR. Once the default case is selected,
non of the oprofile counters and/or fields have been set up or defined.

When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of
the cpu specific fields are replaced with the exception of the oprofile
related ones. However, in the case where we have actually taken the
default case while searching for the real PVR, we need to tell
oprofile that we are now running in compatibility mode so it can pick up
the correct counters. We do this by setting the oprofile_cpu_type field
to be that taken from the cpu_specs[] for the cpu we are now emulating.

This change will detect that we are now altering the real PVR and determine
if we also need to update the oprofile_cpu_type field.

Thomas Gleixner b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Nathan Lynch 0f47331475 powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT
Background from Maynard Johnson:
As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be
supported on all future POWER processors.  The main impetus for this
compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from
processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's
running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor
P(n+1).  If a performance tool determines it does not support the
physical processor, but is told (via the
PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports
the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can
surface just those events to the user of the tool.

PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at
least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER
processor lines.

Dave Kleikamp ef3d3246a0 powerpc/mm: Add Strong Access Ordering support
Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of
memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than
x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more
efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code
execution.

On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables
strong access ordering mode for the memory page.  This patchset allows a
user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection
bit through mmap() and mprotect().  I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.

Kumar Gala 2d1b202762 powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime
To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.

We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.

Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it

save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

Michael Ellerman fac23fe4be powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternatives
The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)

and the resulting code will be either,

	or	1,1,1
	nop

or,
	nop
	or	2,2,2

For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
	or	2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)

and the resulting code will be:

	or	1,1,1
or,
	or	2,2,2

We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.

The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.

We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.

This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

Michael Ellerman e7a57273c6 powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errors
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site.  In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching.  A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.

For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.

While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better.  That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

Linus Torvalds 89f5b7da2a Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit
557ed1fa26 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.

We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.

In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.

This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.

While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.

We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *".  The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.

[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
  that's not how that function works ]

for our needs (integer only).

Additionally, we have to link this code into each module.  The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.

Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the

Stephen Rothwell 420b5eeaee [POWERPC] Use dev_set_name in pci_64.c
During the next merge window, pci_name()'s return value will become
const, so use the new dev_set_name() instead to avoid the warning (from
linux-next):

arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c: In function 'of_create_pci_dev':
arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c:193: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sprintf' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0be234a465 [POWERPC] Fix incorrect enabling of VMX when building signal or user context
When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC
bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task
-ever- used VMX.

This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then
"lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example)
and then called get_context.  It can end up with VMX enabled and the
registers containing values from some other task.

Kumar Gala fca622c5b2 [POWERPC] 40x/Book-E: Save/restore volatile exception registers
On machines with more than one exception level any system register that
might be modified by the "normal" exception level needs to be saved and
restored on taking a higher level exception.  We already are saving
and restoring ESR and DEAR.

For critical level add SRR0/1.
For debug level add CSRR0/1 and SRR0/1.
For machine check level add DSRR0/1, CSRR0/1, and SRR0/1.

On FSL Book-E parts we always save/restore the MAS registers for critical,
debug, and machine check level exceptions.  On 44x we always save/restore
the MMUCR.

Additionally, we save and restore the ksp_limit since we have to adjust it
for each exception level.

Kumar Gala 369e757b65 [POWERPC] Rework EXC_LEVEL_EXCEPTION_PROLOG code
* Cleanup the code a bit my allocating an INT_FRAME on our exception
  stack there by make references go from GPR11-INT_FRAME_SIZE(r8) to
  just GPR11(r8)
* simplify {lvl}_transfer_to_handler code by moving the copying of the
  temp registers we use if we come from user space into the PROLOG
* If the exception came from kernel mode copy thread_info flags,
  preempt, and task pointer from the process thread_info.

Kumar Gala bcf0b08807 [POWERPC] Move to runtime allocated exception stacks
For the additonal exception levels (critical, debug, machine check) on
40x/book-e we were using "static" allocations of the stack in the
associated head.S.

Move to a runtime allocation to make the code a bit easier to read as
we mimic how we handle IRQ stacks.  Its also a bit easier to setup the
stack with a "dummy" thread_info in C code.
