Suraj Jitindar Singh 9b28291237 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix TLB management on SMT8 POWER9 and POWER10 processors
[ Upstream commit 77bbbc0cf84834ed130838f7ac1988567f4d0288 ]

The POWER9 vCPU TLB management code assumes all threads in a core share
a TLB, and that TLBIEL execued by one thread will invalidate TLBs for
all threads. This is not the case for SMT8 capable POWER9 and POWER10
(big core) processors, where the TLB is split between groups of threads.
This results in TLB multi-hits, random data corruption, etc.

Fix this by introducing cpu_first_tlb_thread_sibling etc., to determine
which siblings share TLBs, and use that in the guest TLB flushing code.

README

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.
