[PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Fix clearing of bits 20-23 in ITLB miss

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-09 18:14:46
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

In ITLB miss handled the line supposed to clear bits 20-23 on the
L2 ITLB entry is buggy and does indeed nothing, leading to undefined
value which could allow execution when it shouldn't.

Properly do the clearing with the relevant instruction.

Fixes: 74fabcadfd43 ("powerpc/8xx: don't use r12/SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH2 in TLB Miss handlers")
