John David Anglin 8301503a72 parisc: Flush kernel data mapping in set_pte_at() when installing pte for user page 
commit 38860b2c8b 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.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
