commit 44d93045247661acbd50b1629e62f415f2747577 upstream. 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. The initial loop however is incorrect: only the first three of the four pages which belong to segment and region tables will be marked as being used for DAT. The last page is incorrectly marked as no-dat. This can result in incorrect guest TLB flushes. Fix this by simply marking all four pages.

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.
