The HPTE B field is a 2-bit field with values 0b10 and 0b11 reserved. This field is also taken from the HPTE and used when KVM executes TLBIEs to set the B field of those instructions. Disallow the guest setting B to a reserved value with H_ENTER by rejecting it. This is the same approach already taken for rejecting reserved (unsupported) LLP values. This prevents the guest from being able to induce the host to execute TLBIE with reserved values, which is not known to be a problem with current processors but in theory it could prevent the TLBIE from working correctly in a future processor.

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.
