[PATCH v2 5/5] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around TEXASR bug in fake suspend state

[Paul Mackerras]

This works around a hardware bug in "Nimbus" POWER9 DD2.2 processors,
where the contents of the TEXASR can get corrupted while a thread is
in fake suspend state.  The workaround is for the instruction emulation
code to use the value saved at the most recent guest exit in real
suspend mode.  We achieve this by simply not saving the TEXASR into
the vcpu struct on an exit in fake suspend state.  We also have to
take care to set the orig_texasr field only on guest exit in real
suspend state.

This also means that on guest entry in fake suspend state, TEXASR
will be restored to the value it had on the last exit in real suspend
state, effectively counteracting any hardware-caused corruption.  This
works because TEXASR may not be written in suspend state.

With this, the guest might see the wrong values in TEXASR if it reads
it while in suspend state, but will see the correct value in
non-transactional state (e.g. after a treclaim), and treclaim will
work correctly.

With this workaround, the code will actually run slightly faster, and
will operate correctly on systems without the TEXASR bug (since TEXASR
may not be written in suspend state, and is only changed by failure
recording, which will have already been done before we get into fake
suspend state).  Therefore these changes are not made subject to a CPU
feature bit.
