KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Synthesize segment fault if SLB lookup fails
When handling a hypervisor data or instruction storage interrupt (HDSI or HISI), we look up the SLB entry for the address being accessed in order to translate the effective address to a virtual address which can be looked up in the guest HPT. This lookup can occasionally fail due to the guest replacing an SLB entry without invalidating the evicted SLB entry. In this situation an ERAT (effective to real address translation cache) entry can persist and be used by the hardware even though there is no longer a corresponding SLB entry. Previously we would just deliver a data or instruction storage interrupt (DSI or ISI) to the guest in this case. However, this is not correct and has been observed to cause guests to crash, typically with a data storage protection interrupt on a store to the vmemmap area. Instead, what we do now is to synthesize a data or instruction segment interrupt. That should cause the guest to reload an appropriate entry into the SLB and retry the faulting instruction. If it still faults, we should find an appropriate SLB entry next time and be able to handle the fault.
