Since commit6964e6a4e4("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Do SLB load/unload with guest LPCR value loaded", 2018-01-11), we have been seeing occasional machine check interrupts on POWER8 systems when running KVM guests, due to SLB multihit errors. This turns out to be due to the guest exit code reloading the host SLB entries from the SLB shadow buffer when the SLB was not previously cleared in the guest entry path. This can happen because the path which skips from the guest entry code to the guest exit code without entering the guest now does the skip before the SLB is cleared and loaded with guest values, but the host values are loaded after the point in the guest exit path that we skip to. To fix this, we move the code that reloads the host SLB values up so that it occurs just before the point in the guest exit code (the label guest_bypass:) where we skip to from the guest entry path.

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.
