This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 8a4ec5805ab7292f0c05d9b052aa343af57e7015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:26:50 +0530 Subject: powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode 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.
