powerpc/book3s64: Fix branching to OOL handlers in relocatable kernel

commit 8ed8ab40047a570fdd8043a40c104a57248dd3fd upstream.

Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only
32 bytes long (8 instructions), which is not enough for the full
first-level interrupt handler. For these we need to branch to an
out-of-line (OOL) handler. But when we are running a relocatable kernel,
interrupt vectors till __end_interrupts marker are copied down to real
address 0x100. So, branching to labels (ie. OOL handlers) outside this
section must be handled differently (see LOAD_HANDLER()), considering
relocatable kernel, which would need at least 4 instructions.

However, branching from interrupt vector means that we corrupt the
CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors as
mentioned in commit 1707dd16. So, EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 (6 instructions)
that contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the
PACA should be part of the short interrupt vectors before we branch out
to OOL handlers.

But as mentioned already, there are interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER
server processors that are only 32 bytes long (like vectors 0x4f00,
0x4f20, etc.), which cannot accomodate the above two cases at the same
time owing to space constraint. Currently, in these interrupt vectors,
we simply branch out to OOL handlers, without using LOAD_HANDLER(),
which leaves us vulnerable when running a relocatable kernel (eg. kdump
case). While this has been the case for sometime now and kdump is used
widely, we were fortunate not to see any problems so far, for three
reasons:

  1. In almost all cases, production kernel (relocatable) is used for
     kdump as well, which would mean that crashed kernel's OOL handler
     would be at the same place where we end up branching to, from short
     interrupt vector of kdump kernel.
  2. Also, OOL handler was unlikely the reason for crash in almost all
     the kdump scenarios, which meant we had a sane OOL handler from
     crashed kernel that we branched to.
  3. On most 64-bit POWER server processors, page size is large enough
     that marking interrupt vector code as executable (see commit
     429d2e83) leads to marking OOL handler code from crashed kernel,
     that sits right below interrupt vector code from kdump kernel, as
     executable as well.

Let us fix this by moving the __end_interrupts marker down past OOL
handlers to make sure that we also copy OOL handlers to real address
0x100 when running a relocatable kernel.

This fix has been tested successfully in kdump scenario, on an LPAR with
4K page size by using different default/production kernel and kdump
kernel.

Also tested by manually corrupting the OOL handlers in the first kernel
and then kdump'ing, and then causing the OOL handlers to fire - mpe.
