I built an Artful test kernel with commit 371b80447ff33dd. The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1736145
Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? Note, to test this kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

The boot sequence does not zero PIDR ever, and it only gets changed as CPUs first switch to userspace processes. This can leave a window where speculative accesses from a CPU to quadrant 0 can pick up translations in the partition table that may be set up for processes running on other CPUs. These cached translations will not be involved in the invalidation protocol, so we can end with stable TLB and PWC. We need to have this patch included in Ubuntu kernel. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2017-December/166424.html We do not have commit id, but once we have, I will post here. There is no need to include the patch prior to upstream acceptance. == Comment: #2 - VIPIN K.
