[IA64] 4 level page table bug fix in vhpt_miss
From source code inspection, I think there is a bug with 4 level page table with vhpt_miss handler. In the code path of rechecking page table entry against previously read value after tlb insertion, *pte value in register r18 was overwritten with value newly read from pud pointer, render the check of new *pte against previous *pte completely wrong. Though the bug is none fatal and the penalty is to purge the entry and retry. For functional correctness, it should be fixed. The fix is to use a different register so new *pud don't trash *pte. (btw, the comments in the cmp statement is wrong as well, which I will address in the next patch). Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
