Peter Zijlstra 0ed1325967 mm/mmu_gather: invalidate TLB correctly on batch allocation failure and flush
Architectures for which we have hardware walkers of Linux page table
should flush TLB on mmu gather batch allocation failures and batch flush.
Some architectures like POWER supports multiple translation modes (hash
and radix) and in the case of POWER only radix translation mode needs the
above TLBI.  This is because for hash translation mode kernel wants to
avoid this extra flush since there are no hardware walkers of linux page
table.  With radix translation, the hardware also walks linux page table
and with that, kernel needs to make sure to TLB invalidate page walk cache
before page table pages are freed.

More details in commit d86564a2f0 ("mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating
TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE")

The changes to sparc are to make sure we keep the old behavior since we
are now removing HAVE_RCU_TABLE_NO_INVALIDATE.  The default value for
tlb_needs_table_invalidate is to always force an invalidate and sparc can
avoid the table invalidate.  Hence we define tlb_needs_table_invalidate to
false for sparc architecture.

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.
