When running on POWER9 with kvm_hv.indep_threads_mode = N and the host in SMT1 mode, KVM will run guest VCPUs on offline secondary threads. If those guests are in radix mode, we fail to load the LPID and flush the TLB if necessary, leading to the guest crashing with an unsupported MMU fault. This arises from commit9a4506e11b("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make radix handle process scoped LPID flush in C, with relocation on", 2018-05-17), which didn't consider the case where indep_threads_mode = N. For simplicity, this makes the real-mode guest entry path flush the TLB in the same place for both radix and hash guests, as we did before9a4506e11b, though the code is now C code rather than assembly code. We also have the radix TLB flush open-coded rather than calling radix__local_flush_tlb_lpid_guest(), because the TLB flush can be called in real mode, and in real mode we don't want to invoke the tracepoint code.

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.
