[PATCH] powerpc/64s: Don't use DSISR for SLB faults

[Nicholas Piggin]

Excerpts from Michael Ellerman's message of February 22, 2022 9:34 pm:
> Since commit 46ddcb3950a2 ("powerpc/mm: Show if a bad page fault on data
> is read or write.") we use page_fault_is_write(regs->dsisr) in
> __bad_page_fault() to determine if the fault is for a read or write, and
> change the message printed accordingly.
> 
> But SLB faults, aka Data Segment Interrupts, don't set DSISR (Data
> Storage Interrupt Status Register) to a useful value. All ISA versions
> from v2.03 through v3.1 specify that the Data Segment Interrupt sets
> DSISR "to an undefined value". As far as I can see there's no mention of
> SLB faults setting DSISR in any BookIV content either.
> 
> This manifests as accesses that should be a read being incorrectly
> reported as writes, for example, using the xmon "dump" command:

> We can also see in exceptions-64s.S that the data_access_slb block
> doesn't set IDSISR=1, which means it doesn't load DSISR into pt_regs. So
> the value we're using to determine if the fault is a read/write is some
> stale value in pt_regs from a previous page fault.

> Rework the printing logic to separate the SLB fault case out, and only
> print read/write in the cases where we can determine it.
