Dave Vasilevsky db9c8e8d3c powerpc, mm: Fix mprotect on book3s 32-bit
commit 78fc63ffa7813e33681839bb33826c24195f0eb7 upstream.

On 32-bit book3s with hash-MMUs, tlb_flush() was a no-op. This was
unnoticed because all uses until recently were for unmaps, and thus
handled by __tlb_remove_tlb_entry().

After commit 4a18419f71 ("mm/mprotect: use mmu_gather") in kernel 5.19,
tlb_gather_mmu() started being used for mprotect as well. This caused
mprotect to simply not work on these machines:

  int *ptr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
                  MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
  *ptr = 1; // force HPTE to be created
  mprotect(ptr, 4096, PROT_READ);
  *ptr = 2; // should segfault, but succeeds

Fixed by making tlb_flush() actually flush TLB pages. This finally
agrees with the behaviour of boot3s64's tlb_flush().

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.

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.
