Nicholas Piggin d4748276ae powerpc/64s: Improve local TLB flush for boot and MCE on POWER9
There are several cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed:

  1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in
     the TLB (e.g., kexec).

  2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries.

One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle
states. The flush is a side-effect of calling ->cpu_restore with the
intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary
because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted
TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost).

This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU
type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:

- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is
  always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host)
  and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if
  the R field does not match the current radix mode.

- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as
  well.

- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
  partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.

So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm
under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B
cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment.

Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the
partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest.

Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks,
and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set
up and before relocation is first turned on.

The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states.
This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries
uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.

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.
