[ Upstream commit d9807d60c145836043ffa602328ea1d66dc458b1 ]
The spare_init() calls memmap_populate() many times to create VA to PA
mapping for the VMEMMAP area, where all "struct page" are located once
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is defined. These "struct page" are later
initialized in the zone_sizes_init() function. However, during this
process, no sfence.vma instruction is executed for this VMEMMAP area.
This omission may cause the hart to fail to perform page table walk
because some data related to the address translation is invisible to the
hart. To solve this issue, the local_flush_tlb_kernel_range() is called
right after the sparse_init() to execute a sfence.vma instruction for this
VMEMMAP area, ensuring that all data related to the address translation
is visible to the hart.

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.
