Paul Mackerras 5138dd0db5 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix handling of large pages in radix page fault handler 
commit c3856aeb29 upstream.

This fixes several bugs in the radix page fault handler relating to
the way large pages in the memory backing the guest were handled.
First, the check for large pages only checked for explicit huge pages
and missed transparent huge pages.  Then the check that the addresses
(host virtual vs. guest physical) had appropriate alignment was
wrong, meaning that the code never put a large page in the partition
scoped radix tree; it was always demoted to a small page.

Fixing this exposed bugs in kvmppc_create_pte().  We were never
invalidating a 2MB PTE, which meant that if a page was initially
faulted in without write permission and the guest then attempted
to store to it, we would never update the PTE to have write permission.
If we find a valid 2MB PTE in the PMD, we need to clear it and
do a TLB invalidation before installing either the new 2MB PTE or
a pointer to a page table page.

This also corrects an assumption that get_user_pages_fast would set
the _PAGE_DIRTY bit if we are writing, which is not true.  Instead we
mark the page dirty explicitly with set_page_dirty_lock().  This
also means we don't need the dirty bit set on the host PTE when
providing write access on a read fault.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - use mark_pages_dirty instead of
 kvmppc_update_dirty_map]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
