From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 09:29:06 +1100 Subject: powerpc/mm: Workaround Nest MMU bug with TLB invalidations

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org

commit 80a4ae202f2d319eced8bbf612a4e8b0f11c21f5 upstream.

On POWER9 the Nest MMU may fail to invalidate some translations when doing a tlbie "by PID" or "by LPID" that is targeted at the TLB only and not the page walk cache.

This works around it by forcing such invalidations to escalate to RIC=2 (full invalidation of TLB *and* PWC) when a coprocessor is in use for the context.
