At the time being, DATA TLB miss handlers use task PGDIR for user addresses and swapper_pg_dir for kernel addresses. Now that kernel part of swapper_pg_dir is copied into task PGDIR at PGD allocation, it is possible to avoid the above logic and always use task PGDIR. But new kernel PGD entries can still be created after init, in which case those PGD entries may miss in task PGDIR. This can be handled in DATA TLB error handler. However, it needs to be done in real mode because the missing entry might be related to the stack. So implement copy of missing PGD entry in the prolog of DATA TLB ERROR handler just after the fixup of DAR. Note that this is feasible because 8xx doesn't implement vmap or ioremap with 8Mbytes pages but only 512kbytes pages which are at PTE level.

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 reStructuredText 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.
