[PATCH v3 04/12] powerpc/dexcr: Handle hashchk exception

Benjamin Gray bgray at linux.ibm.com

Recognise and pass the appropriate signal to the user program when a
hashchk instruction triggers. This is independent of allowing
configuration of DEXCR[NPHIE], as a hypervisor can enforce this aspect
regardless of the kernel.

The signal mirrors how ARM reports their similar check failure. For
example, their FPAC handler in arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c do_el0_fpac()
does this. When we fail to read the instruction that caused the fault
we send a segfault, similar to how emulate_math() does it.

v3:	* Inline hashchk detection, remove dexcr.c and associated files
v1:	* Refactor the hashchk check to return 0 on success, an error
	  code on failure. Determine what to do based on specific error
	  code.
	* Motivate signal and code
