[ Upstream commit 38860b2c8bb1b92f61396eb06a63adff916fc31d ]
For years, there have been random segmentation faults in userspace on
SMP PA-RISC machines. It occurred to me that this might be a problem in
set_pte_at(). MIPS and some other architectures do cache flushes when
installing PTEs with the present bit set.
Here I have adapted the code in update_mmu_cache() to flush the kernel
mapping when the kernel flush is deferred, or when the kernel mapping
may alias with the user mapping. This simplifies calls to
update_mmu_cache().
I also changed the barrier in set_pte() from a compiler barrier to a
full memory barrier. I know this change is not sufficient to fix the
problem. It might not be needed.
I have had a few days of operation with 5.14.16 to 5.15.1 and haven't
seen any random segmentation faults on rp3440 or c8000 so far.
