[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/1] target-ppc: booke206 tlb: fix tlbwe instruction

Hi,

I was experiencing random segmentation faults of userland applications
in a guest e500 powerpc Linux. After investigating, I found that this
bug appeared with commit 9fb044911444fdd09f5f072ad0ca269d7f8b841d. This
commit introduces more MMU indices to avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when
the CPU changes mode.

It triggers a new bug however, that I finally traced down into the tlbwe
instructions simulation. When replacing a valid TLB entry with a new
one, the previous page was not flushed from QEMU TLB.

This fixes my random crashes in guest Linux. Note that I think there is
a similar issue in booke206_invalidate_ea_tlb but in my case, Linux
never triggers this code so I was not able to test.
