The slbmte instruction is legal in radix mode, including radix guest mode. This means radix guests can load the SLB with arbitrary data. KVM host does not clear the SLB when exiting a guest if it was a radix guest, which would allow a rogue radix guest to use the SLB as a side channel to communicate with other guests. Fix this by ensuring the SLB is cleared when coming out of a radix guest. Only the first 4 entries are a concern, because radix guests always run with LPCR[UPRT]=1, which limits the reach of slbmte. slbia is not used (except in a non-performance-critical path) because it can clear cached translations.

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.
