3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cf0a8aa0226da5de88011e7f30eff22a894b2f49 upstream. Make use of the Config6/FLTBP bit to set the probability of a TLBWR instruction to hit the FTLB or the VTLB. A value of 0 (which may be the default value on certain cores, such as proAptiv or P5600) means that a TLBWR instruction will never hit the VTLB which leads to performance limitations since it effectively decreases the number of available TLB slots.
