Subject: [PATCH 5.15 850/917] parisc: Flush kernel data mapping in set_pte_at() when installing pte for user page

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@...l.net>

commit 38860b2c8bb1b92f61396eb06a63adff916fc31d upstream.

For years, there have been random segmentation faults in userspace on
SMP PA-RISC machines.  It occurred to me that this might be a problem in
set_pte_at().  MIPS and some other architectures do cache flushes when
installing PTEs with the present bit set.

Here I have adapted the code in update_mmu_cache() to flush the kernel
mapping when the kernel flush is deferred, or when the kernel mapping
may alias with the user mapping.  This simplifies calls to
update_mmu_cache().

I also changed the barrier in set_pte() from a compiler barrier to a
full memory barrier.  I know this change is not sufficient to fix the
problem.  It might not be needed.

I have had a few days of operation with 5.14.16 to 5.15.1 and haven't
seen any random segmentation faults on rp3440 or c8000 so far.
