Paul Mackerras 32eb150aee KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle hypervisor instruction faults better
Currently the code for handling hypervisor instruction page faults
passes 0 for the flags indicating the type of fault, which is OK in
the usual case that the page is not mapped in the partition-scoped
page tables.  However, there are other causes for hypervisor
instruction page faults, such as not being to update a reference
(R) or change (C) bit.  The cause is indicated in bits in HSRR1,
including a bit which indicates that the fault is due to not being
able to write to a page (for example to update an R or C bit).
Not handling these other kinds of faults correctly can lead to a
loop of continual faults without forward progress in the guest.

In order to handle these faults better, this patch constructs a
"DSISR-like" value from the bits which DSISR and SRR1 (for a HISI)
have in common, and passes it to kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() so
that it knows what caused the fault.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
