I can't figure out what BBM means.

I'm not sure why the stage2_pte_cacheable(old) condition is needed.

kvm_handle_guest_abort() handles three types of stage 2 data or instruction
aborts: translation faults (fault_status == FSC_FAULT), access faults
(fault_status == FSC_ACCESS) and permission faults (fault_status == FSC_PERM).

Access faults are handled in handle_access_fault(), which means user_mem_abort()
handles translation and permission faults. The original code did the dcache clean
+ inval when not a permission fault, which means the CMO was done only on a
translation fault. Translation faults mean that the IPA was not mapped, so the old
entry will always be invalid. Even if we're coalescing multiple last level leaf
entries int oa  block mapping, the table entry which is replaced is invalid
because it's marked as such in stage2_map_walk_table_pre().

Is there something I'm missing?

This, together with the stage2_attr_walker() changes below, look identical to the
current code in user_mem_abort(). The executable permission is set on an exec
fault (instruction abort not on a stage 2 translation table walk), and as a result
of the fault we either need to map a new page here, or relax permissions in
kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms() -> stage2_attr_walker() below.

Thanks,
