Subject: [PATCH] riscv: Add sfence.vma after page table changed

This patch addes local_flush_tlb_page(addr) to use sfence.vma after the
page table changed. That address will be used immediately in
memset(nextp, 0, PAGE_SIZE) to cause this issue so we should add the
sfence.vma before we use it.

Fixes: f2c17aabc917 ("RISC-V: Implement compile-time fixed mappings")

Alternate version of this commit description can be:

Invalidate local TLB after both set_pet() and clear_pte() because the
address can be used immediately after page table change.

Otherwise looks good to me.

arm64 appears to be upgrading all set_pte()s on valid kernel mappings to
include the fence. It looks like the message from 7f0b1bf04511 ("arm64: Fix
barriers used for page table modifications") is out of date, as I can't find
create_mapping() any more. If that was some generic kernel thing then we
should probably upgrade ours as well, but if it was arch/arm64/ code then this
approach seems fine as __set_fixmap() isn't on the hot path -- I guess this is
fine either way, but there may be other issues that the arm64 approach fixes.

Do you guys happen to remember what was going on here?

Basically, the architecture says we need these fences in order to guarantee
that the page-table walker sees the updated entry. Since we couldn't
tolerate spurious faults on kernel mappings, we had to add them (for
userspace we don't bother because in reality we don't tend to take the
spurious fault, and it's harmless if we do).

But having said all that, check out 42f91093b043 ("arm64: mm: Ignore spurious
translation faults taken from the kernel").

Hi Palmer,

Some architectures add cache writeback in set_pte(), just like nds32, csky.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/nds32/include/asm/pgtable.h#L213
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/csky/include/asm/pgtable.h#L104

Would you like to pick this patch or should I send another patch to
implement it in set_pte()?

Sorry, I forgot about this. I'm picking up this patch on fixes, as it clearly
fixes a bug. We might also have uncovered another bug, but there's no sense in
letting this one hang around until we figure that out.

I've cleaned up the comment text a bit, as Anup pointed out some issuses.

Thanks!
