Subject: s390/cmma: fix handling of swapper_pg_dir and invalid_pg_dir
From: Heiko Carstens <hca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 84bb41d5df48868055d159d9247b80927f1f70f9 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. 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.
