At present, if an interrupt (i.e. an exception or trap) occurs in the code where KVM is switching the MMU to or from guest context, we jump to kvmppc_bad_host_intr, where we simply spin with interrupts disabled. In this situation, it is hard to debug what happened because we get no indication as to which interrupt occurred or where. Typically we get a cascade of stall and soft lockup warnings from other CPUs. In order to get more information for debugging, this adds code to create a stack frame on the emergency stack and save register values to it. We start half-way down the emergency stack in order to give ourselves some chance of being able to do a stack trace on secondary threads that are already on the emergency stack. On POWER7 or POWER8, we then just spin, as before, because we don't know what state the MMU context is in or what other threads are doing, and we can't switch back to host context without coordinating with other threads. On POWER9 we can do better; there we load up the host MMU context and jump to C code, which prints an oops message to the console and panics. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
