When offlining a CPU, powerpc/64s does not flush TLBs, rather it just
leaves the CPU set in mm_cpumasks, so it continues to receive TLBIEs
to manage its TLBs.
However the exit_flush_lazy_tlbs() function expects that after
returning, all CPUs (except self) have flushed TLBs for that mm, in
which case TLBIEL can be used for this flush. This breaks for offline
CPUs because they don't get the IPI to flush their TLB. This can lead
to stale translations.
Fix this by clearing the CPU from mm_cpumasks, then flushing all TLBs
before going offline.
These offlined CPU bits stuck in the cpumask also prevents the cpumask
from being trimmed back to local mode, which means continual broadcast
IPIs or TLBIEs are needed for TLB flushing. This patch prevents that
situation too.
A cast of many were involved in working this out, but in particular
Milton, Aneesh, Paul made key discoveries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
