[ Upstream commit 78ee9946371f5848ddfc88ab1a43867df8f17d83 ]
Because rfi_flush_fallback runs immediately before the return to userspace it currently runs with the user r1 (stack pointer). This means if we oops in there we will report a bad kernel stack pointer in the exception entry path, eg:

Although the NIP tells us where we were, and the TRAP number tells us what happened, it would still be nicer if we could report the actual exception rather than barfing about the stack pointer.
We an do that fairly simply by loading the kernel stack pointer on entry and restoring the user value before returning. That way we see a regular oops such as:
Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c00000000000239c Oops: Unrecoverable exception, sig: 6 [#1] LE SMP NR_CPUS=32 NUMA PowerNV Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1251 Comm: klogd Not tainted 4.18.0-rc3-gcc-7.3.1-00097-g4ebfcac65acd-dirty #40 NIP: c00000000000239c LR: 0000000010053e00 CTR: 0000000000000040 REGS: c0000000f1e17bb0 TRAP: 4100 Not tainted (4.18.0-rc3-gcc-7.3.1-00097-g4ebfcac65acd-dirty) MSR: 9000000002803031 <SF,HV,VEC,VSX,FP,ME,IR,DR,LE> CR: 44000442 XER: 20000000 CFAR: c00000000000bac8 IRQMASK: 0 ...

Note this shouldn't make the kernel stack pointer vulnerable to a meltdown attack, because it should be flushed from the cache before we return to userspace. The user r1 value will be in the cache, because we load it in the return path, but that is harmless.
