From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <redacted> With the powerpc next commit e7e81847478 (powerpc/mce: Fix SLB rebolting during MCE recovery path.), the SLB error recovery is broken. The new change now does not add index value to RB[52-63] that selects the SLB entry while rebolting, instead it assumes that the shadow save area already have index embeded correctly in esid field. While all valid bolted save areas do contain index value set correctly, there is a case where 3rd (KSTACK_INDEX) entry for kernel stack does not embed index for NULL esid entry. This patch fixes that. Without this patch the SLB rebolt code overwrites the 1st entry of kernel linear mapping and causes SLB recovery to fail.

Changelog just needs a little more work, maybe this?
The commit e7e81847478 ("powerpc/64s: move machine check SLB flushing
to mm/slb.c") introduced a bug in reloading bolted SLB entries. Unused
bolted entries are stored with .esid=0 in the slb_shadow area, and
that value is now used directly as the RB input to slbmte, which means
the RB[52:63] index field is set to 0, which causes SLB entry 0 to be
cleared.
Fix this by storing the index bits in the unused bolted entries, which
directs the slbmte to the right place.
The SLB shadow area is also used by the hypervisor, but PAPR is okay
with that, from LoPAPR v1.1, 14.11.1.3 SLB Shadow Buffer:
Note: SLB is filled sequentially starting at index 0
from the shadow buffer ignoring the contents of
RB field bits 52-63
Fixes: e7e81847478 ("powerpc/64s: move machine check SLB flushing to
mm/slb.c")
