[ Upstream commit 84bb41d5df48868055d159d9247b80927f1f70f9 ] If the cmma no-dat feature is available the kernel page tables are walked to identify and mark all pages which are used for address translation (all region, segment, and page tables). In a subsequent loop all other pages are marked as "no-dat" pages with the ESSA instruction. This information is visible to the hypervisor, so that the hypervisor can optimize purging of guest TLB entries. All pages used for swapper_pg_dir and invalid_pg_dir are incorrectly marked as no-dat, which in turn can result in incorrect guest TLB flushes. Fix this by marking those pages correctly as being used for DAT.

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.
