Series sparc64: fix a window fill fixup lockup and two fault bugs | expand

Commit Message

The huge-page path in the TSB miss handler has to route a fault taken
during a register window spill or fill away from hugetlb_setup(), since
a trap stack cannot be built at TL > 1.  That test is made after

	wrpr	%g5, PSTATE_AG | PSTATE_MG, %pstate

(SET_GL(1) on sun4v) has already switched the global register bank.
%g3, holding the fault code, and %g5, holding the PTE, live in the TLB
miss handler's globals and do not survive that switch, so the branch to
winfix_trampoline passes on whatever the new bank happens to contain: a
stale fault code and a garbage fault address.  The task is then killed
with SIGSEGV pointing at an address that was never mapped.

The path predates the fault code being passed at all; it was given one
when winfix_trampoline's %g4 requirement was fixed, and the register it
reads has been the wrong bank's since.

Make the decision before the switch and route to tsb_do_fault, which
re-reads both from the MMU after switching banks, rather than entering
winfix_trampoline with registers that no longer mean anything.
