    [PATCH] SPARC64: Set g4/g5 properly in sun4v dtlb-prot handling. · 0af78db8
    David S. Miller authored
    Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update
    both registers even when we branch out to window fault
    fixup handling.
    
    The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a
    fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information.
    If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then
    we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is
    what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first.
    
    Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and
    process the original fault at that time.
    
    This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap
    registers are in these code paths.  These cases trigger
    very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication
    it's doesn't happen very often.  In fact the rarity is why
    it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.
