Sean Christopherson ee0fa69354 KVM: PPC: Use kvm_vcpu_map() to map guest memory to patch dcbz instructions
Use kvm_vcpu_map() when patching dcbz in guest memory, as a regular GUP
isn't technically sufficient when writing to data in the target pages.
As per Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst:

      Correct (uses FOLL_PIN calls):
          pin_user_pages()
          write to the data within the pages
          unpin_user_pages()

      INCORRECT (uses FOLL_GET calls):
          get_user_pages()
          write to the data within the pages
          put_page()

As a happy bonus, using kvm_vcpu_{,un}map() takes care of creating a
mapping and marking the page dirty.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
