Subject: [patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:40:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421246468-25187-14-git-send-email-jslaby@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1421246468-25187-1-git-send-email-jslaby@suse.cz>

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 8117ac6a6c2fa0f847ff6a21a1f32c8d2c8501d0 upstream.

Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in
nap mode (paca->kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap
(or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on.  This is bad
for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions
must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME
and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as
soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest
context.  If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping
on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400.

This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before
setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.
