When a guest vcpu moves from one physical thread to another it is
necessary for the host to perform a tlb flush on the previous core if
another vcpu from the same guest is going to run there. This is because the
guest may use the local form of the tlb invalidation instruction meaning
stale tlb entries would persist where it previously ran. This is handled
on guest entry in kvmppc_check_need_tlb_flush() which calls
flush_guest_tlb() to perform the tlb flush.
Previously the generic radix__local_flush_tlb_lpid_guest() function was
used, however the functionality was reimplemented in flush_guest_tlb()
to avoid the trace_tlbie() call as the flushing may be done in real
mode. The reimplementation in flush_guest_tlb() was missing an erat
invalidation after flushing the tlb.
This lead to observable memory corruption in the guest due to the
caching of stale translations. Fix this by adding the erat invalidation.

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.
