Currently, if the kernel is running on a POWER9 processor under a
hypervisor, it may try to use the radix MMU even though it doesn't have
the necessary code to do so (it doesn't negotiate use of radix, and it
doesn't do the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL hcall). If the hypervisor supports
both radix and HPT, then it will set up the guest to use HPT (since the
guest doesn't request radix in the CAS call), but if the radix feature
bit is set in the ibm,pa-features property (which is valid, since
ibm,pa-features is defined to represent the capabilities of the
processor) the guest will try to use radix, resulting in a crash when
it turns the MMU on.
This makes the minimal fix for the current code, which is to disable
radix unless we are running in hypervisor mode.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
