Avoid un-intended DCTI Couples. Use of DCTI couples is deprecated.
Also address the "Programming Note" for optimal performance.
Here is the complete text from Oracle SPARC Architecture Specs.
6.3.4.7 DCTI Couples
"A delayed control transfer instruction (DCTI) in the delay slot of
another DCTI is referred to as a “DCTI couple”. The use of DCTI couples
is deprecated in the Oracle SPARC Architecture; no new software should
place a DCTI in the delay slot of another DCTI, because on future Oracle
SPARC Architecture implementations DCTI couples may execute either
slowly or differently than the programmer assumes it will.
SPARC V8 and SPARC V9 Compatibility Note
The SPARC V8 architecture left behavior undefined for a DCTI couple. The
SPARC V9 architecture defined behavior in that case, but as of
UltraSPARC Architecture 2005, use of DCTI couples was deprecated.
Software should not expect high performance from DCTI couples, and
performance of DCTI couples should be expected to decline further in
future processors.
Programming Note
As noted in TABLE 6-5 on page 115, an annulled branch-always
(branch-always with a = 1) instruction is not architecturally a DCTI.
However, since not all implementations make that distinction, for
optimal performance, a DCTI should not be placed in the instruction word
immediately following an annulled branch-always instruction (BA,A or
BPA,A)."

We must handle data access exception as well as memory address unaligned
exceptions from return from trap window fill faults, not just normal
TLB misses.
Otherwise we can get an OOPS that looks like this:

The window trap handlers are slightly clever, the trap table entries for them are
composed of two pieces of code. First comes the code that actually performs
the window fill or spill trap handling, and then there are three instructions at
the end which are for exception processing.
The userland register window fill handler is:
add %sp, STACK_BIAS + 0x00, %g1; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g0] ASI, %l0; \
mov 0x08, %g2; \
mov 0x10, %g3; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g2] ASI, %l1; \
mov 0x18, %g5; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g3] ASI, %l2; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g5] ASI, %l3; \
add %g1, 0x20, %g1; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g0] ASI, %l4; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g2] ASI, %l5; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g3] ASI, %l6; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g5] ASI, %l7; \
add %g1, 0x20, %g1; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g0] ASI, %i0; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g2] ASI, %i1; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g3] ASI, %i2; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g5] ASI, %i3; \
add %g1, 0x20, %g1; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g0] ASI, %i4; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g2] ASI, %i5; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g3] ASI, %i6; \
ldxa [%g1 + %g5] ASI, %i7; \
restored; \
retry; nop; nop; nop; nop; \
b,a,pt %xcc, fill_fixup_dax; \
b,a,pt %xcc, fill_fixup_mna; \
b,a,pt %xcc, fill_fixup;
And the way this works is that if any of those memory accesses
generate an exception, the exception handler can revector to one of
those final three branch instructions depending upon which kind of
exception the memory access took. In this way, the fault handler
doesn't have to know if it was a spill or a fill that it's handling
the fault for. It just always branches to the last instruction in
the parent trap's handler.
For example, for a regular fault, the code goes:
winfix_trampoline:
rdpr %tpc, %g3
or %g3, 0x7c, %g3
wrpr %g3, %tnpc
done
All window trap handlers are 0x80 aligned, so if we "or" 0x7c into the
trap time program counter, we'll get that final instruction in the
trap handler.
On return from trap, we have to pull the register window in but we do
this by hand instead of just executing a "restore" instruction for
several reasons. The largest being that from Niagara and onward we
simply don't have enough levels in the trap stack to fully resolve all
possible exception cases of a window fault when we are already at
trap level 1 (which we enter to get ready to return from the original
trap).
This is executed inline via the FILL_*_RTRAP handlers. rtrap_64.S's
code branches directly to these to do the window fill by hand if
necessary. Now if you look at them, we'll see at the end:
ba,a,pt %xcc, user_rtt_fill_fixup;
ba,a,pt %xcc, user_rtt_fill_fixup;
ba,a,pt %xcc, user_rtt_fill_fixup;
And oops, all three cases are handled like a fault.
This doesn't work because each of these trap types (data access
exception, memory address unaligned, and faults) store their auxiliary
info in different registers to pass on to the C handler which does the
real work.
So in the case where the stack was unaligned, the unaligned trap
handler sets up the arg registers one way, and then we branched to
the fault handler which expects them setup another way.
So the FAULT_TYPE_* value ends up basically being garbage, and
randomly would generate the backtrace seen above.

The low level preemption code fiddles with the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit for

wrong to begin with. Remove the PREEMPT_ACTIVE fiddling and call the

The invocation of softirq is now handled by irq_exit(), so there is no
need for sparc64 to invoke it on the trap-return path. In fact, doing so
is a bug because if the trap occurred in the idle loop, this invocation
can result in lockdep-RCU failures. The problem is that RCU ignores idle
CPUs, and the sparc64 trap-return path to the softirq handlers fails to
tell RCU that the CPU must be considered non-idle while those handlers
are executing. This means that RCU is ignoring any RCU read-side critical
sections in those handlers, which in turn means that RCU-protected data
can be yanked out from under those read-side critical sections.
The shiny new lockdep-RCU ability to detect RCU read-side critical sections
that RCU is ignoring located this problem.
The fix is straightforward: Make sparc64 stop manually invoking the
softirq handlers.

We can overflow the hardirq stack if we set the %pil here
so early, just let the normal control flow do it.
This is fine as we are allowed to do the actual IRQ enable
at any point after we call trace_hardirqs_on.

Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.
Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).
