Nicholas Piggin 90df4bfb4d powerpc/64s: Machine check handle ifetch from foreign real address for POWER9
The i-side 0111b machine check, which is "Instruction Fetch to foreign
address space", was missed by 7b9f71f974 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine
check handler").

    The POWER9 processor core considers host real addresses with a
    nonzero value in RA(8:12) as foreign address space, accessible only
    by the copy and paste instructions. The copy and paste instruction
    pair can be used to invoke the Nest accelerators via the Virtual
    Accelerator Switchboard (VAS).

It is an error for any regular load/store or ifetch to go to a foreign
addresses. When relocation is on, this causes an MMU exception. When
relocation is off, a machine check exception. It is possible to trigger
this machine check by branching to a foreign address with MSR[IR]=0.

Fixes: 7b9f71f974 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine check handler")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
