Currently the code for handling hypervisor instruction page faults passes 0 for the flags indicating the type of fault, which is OK in the usual case that the page is not mapped in the partition-scoped page tables. However, there are other causes for hypervisor instruction page faults, such as not being to update a reference (R) or change (C) bit. The cause is indicated in bits in HSRR1, including a bit which indicates that the fault is due to not being able to write to a page (for example to update an R or C bit). Not handling these other kinds of faults correctly can lead to a loop of continual faults without forward progress in the guest. In order to handle these faults better, this patch constructs a "DSISR-like" value from the bits which DSISR and SRR1 (for a HISI) have in common, and passes it to kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() so that it knows what caused the fault.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
