[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH v4 0/3] ppc: handle broadcast tlb flush

[Nikunj A Dadhania]

PowerPC failed to handle broadcast TLB flush operations. Executing 
instructions that are defined architecturally as synchronizing global TLB 
should have a global effect.

* tlbie on BookS
* tlbivax on BookE
* H_CALLs (H_REMOVE, H_BULK_REMOVE and H_PROTECT) in case of pseries, 
  since they contain a tlbie on a real hypervisor.

The implementation provides a single point that can be used in MTTCG for 
doing async-flushes.

The patchset introduces bit-flags in CPUPPCState::tlb_need_flush:

  TLB_NEED_LOCAL_FLUSH (0x1) - Flush local tlb
  TLB_NEED_GLOBAL_FLUSH (0x2) - Flush tlb on other cpus.

Changelog
v3:
* Updated commit messages and cover letter(benh)

Nikunj A Dadhania (3):
  target-ppc: add TLB_NEED_LOCAL_FLUSH flag
  target-ppc: add flag in chech_tlb_flush()
  target-ppc: tlbie/tlbivax should have global effect
