4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 926bc2f100c24d4842b3064b5af44ae964c1d81c ]
The stores to update the SLB shadow area must be made as they appear
in the C code, so that the hypervisor does not see an entry with
mismatched vsid and esid. Use WRITE_ONCE for this.
GCC has been observed to elide the first store to esid in the update,
which means that if the hypervisor interrupts the guest after storing
to vsid, it could see an entry with old esid and new vsid, which may
possibly result in memory corruption.
