For years, there have been random segmentation faults in userspace on SMP PA-RISC machines. It occurred to me that this might be a problem in set_pte_at(). MIPS and some other architectures do cache flushes when installing PTEs with the present bit set. Here I have adapted the code in update_mmu_cache() to flush the kernel mapping when the kernel flush is deferred, or when the kernel mapping may alias with the user mapping. This simplifies calls to update_mmu_cache(). I also changed the barrier in set_pte() from a compiler barrier to a full memory barrier. I know this change is not sufficient to fix the problem. It might not be needed. I have had a few days of operation with 5.14.16 to 5.15.1 and haven't seen any random segmentation faults on rp3440 or c8000 so far.
