work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround. But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

(a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
has outputs:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

(b) Internal compiler errors:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

powerpc/64: Don't call trace_hardirqs_on() in prep_irq_for_idle()

Since commit a01353cf1896 ("cpuidle: Fix ct_idle_*() usage"), the
cpuidle entry code calls trace_hardirqs_on() (actually
trace_hardirqs_on_prepare()) in ct_cpuidle_enter() before calling into
the cpuidle driver.

powerpc/64: Mark prep_irq_for_idle() __cpuidle

Code in the idle path is not allowed to be instrumented because RCU is
disabled, see commit 0e985e9d2286 ("cpuidle: Add comments about
noinstr/__cpuidle usage").

Mark prep_irq_for_idle() __cpuidle, which is equivalent to noinstr, to
enforce that.

powerpc/kcsan: Prevent recursive instrumentation with IRQ save/restores

Instrumented memory accesses provided by KCSAN will access core-local
memories (which will save and restore IRQs) as well as restoring IRQs
directly. Avoid recursive instrumentation by applying __no_kcsan
annotation to IRQ restore routines.

# 5746ca13 21-Jan-2023 Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

powerpc/64: Don't recurse irq replay

Interrupt handlers called by soft-pending irq replay code can run
softirqs, softirq replay enables and disables local irqs, which allows
interrupts to come in including soft-masked interrupts, and it can
cause pending irqs to be replayed again. That makes the soft irq replay
state machine and possible races more complicated and fragile than it
needs to be.

Use irq_enter/irq_exit around irq replay to prevent softirqs running
while interrupts are being replayed. Softirqs will now be run at the
irq_exit() call after all the irq replaying is done. This prevents irqs
being replayed while irqs are being replayed, and should hopefully make
things simpler and easier to think about and debug.

A new PACA_IRQ_REPLAYING is added to prevent asynchronous interrupt
handlers hard-enabling EE while pending irqs are being replayed, because
that causes new pending irqs to arrive which is also a complexity. This
means pending irqs won't be profiled quite so well because perf irqs
can't be taken.

powerpc/64/irq: tidy soft-masked irq replay and improve documentation

irq replay is quite complicated because of softirq processing which
itself enables and disables irqs. Several considerations need to be
accounted for due to this, and they are not clearly documented.

Refactor the irq replay code a bit to tidy and deduplicate some common
functions. Add comments, debug checks.

This has a minor functional change that irq tracing enable/disable is
done after each interrupt replayed, rather than after a batch. It also
re-sets state to IRQS_ALL_DISABLED after an interrupt, which doesn't
matter much because interrupts are hard disabled at this point, but it
is more consistent with how interrupt handlers are called.

No need to open code the read of local_paca->irq_happened in
assembly, we have READ_ONCE() for doing the same.
