[IA64] RSE incomplete cfm
In theory, after Guest executes "cover", incomplete frame changes to complete frame. So Guest should set INCOMPL to 0 just after "cover". At least before guest psr.ic and psr.i are turned on. Previously, only when Guest executes "rfi", INCOMPL is set to 0. The window between "cover" and "rfi" causes trouble in below scenario. 1. Application A calls system call. 2. In OS breaks handler entry, INCOMPL is 0. Due to its system call, Linux kernel doesn't execute "cover". 3. Before returning to Application A, schedule happens, Application B begins to run. 4. A TLB miss happens on the context of B, this may make INCOMPL 1, before Returning to B, (that means "rfi" is not executed, and INCOMPL is still 1) schedule happens again. A resumes to run with INCOMPL 1 (this is incorrect now). 5. As mentioned before, this is system call, "cover" is executed in ia64_leave_kernel path. Because INCOMPL is 1, this "cover" is not actually executed, but this "cover" should be executed. 5. Thus application A's frame is destroyed. Issue appears.
