Christophe Leroy 1e688dd2a3 powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto
Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more
flexibility to GCC.

For that add an entry to the exception table so that
program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution
after a WARNING.

Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which
benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64.

	unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		int ret;

		WARN_ON(regs->msr & MSR_PR);

		return regs->gpr[3];
	}

	unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
	{
		if (WARN_ON(!b))
			return 0;
		return a / b;
	}

Before the patch:

	000003a8 <test>:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384
	 3b0:	40 82 00 0c 	bne     3bc <test+0x14>
	 3b4:	80 63 00 0c 	lwz     r3,12(r3)
	 3b8:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 3bc:	0f e0 00 00 	twui    r0,0
	 3c0:	80 63 00 0c 	lwz     r3,12(r3)
	 3c4:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	0000000000000bf0 <.test9w>:
	 bf0:	7c 89 00 74 	cntlzd  r9,r4
	 bf4:	79 29 d1 82 	rldicl  r9,r9,58,6
	 bf8:	0b 09 00 00 	tdnei   r9,0
	 bfc:	2c 24 00 00 	cmpdi   r4,0
	 c00:	41 82 00 0c 	beq     c0c <.test9w+0x1c>
	 c04:	7c 63 23 92 	divdu   r3,r3,r4
	 c08:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 c0c:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	 c10:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

After the patch:

	000003a8 <test>:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384
	 3b0:	40 82 00 0c 	bne     3bc <test+0x14>
	 3b4:	80 63 00 0c 	lwz     r3,12(r3)
	 3b8:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 3bc:	0f e0 00 00 	twui    r0,0

	0000000000000c50 <.test9w>:
	 c50:	7c 89 00 74 	cntlzd  r9,r4
	 c54:	79 29 d1 82 	rldicl  r9,r9,58,6
	 c58:	0b 09 00 00 	tdnei   r9,0
	 c5c:	7c 63 23 92 	divdu   r3,r3,r4
	 c60:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 c70:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	 c74:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what
happens after the trap.

In the second exemple, we see that GCC doesn't need to emit a test
and a branch in the likely path in addition to the trap.

We've got some WARN_ON() in .softirqentry.text section so it needs
to be added in the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in modpost.c

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
