When allocating a new ASID, we must take care not to re-assign a reserved ASID-value to a new mm. This requires us to check each candidate ASID against those currently reserved by other cores before assigning a new ASID to the current mm. This patch improves the ASID allocation algorithm by using a bitmap-based approach. Rather than iterating over the reserved ASID array for each candidate ASID, we simply find the first zero bit, ensuring that those indices corresponding to reserved ASIDs are set when flushing during a rollover event.

When scheduling a new mm, we take a spinlock so that we can: 1. Safely allocate a new ASID, if required 2. Update our active_asids field without worrying about parallel updates to reserved_asids 3. Ensure that we flush our local TLB, if required However, this has the nasty affect of serialising context-switch across all CPUs in the system. The usual (fast) case is where the next mm has a valid ASID for the current generation. In such a scenario, we can avoid taking the lock and instead use atomic64_xchg to update the active_asids variable for the current CPU. If a rollover occurs on another CPU (which would take the lock), when copying the active_asids into the reserved_asids another atomic64_xchg is used to replace each active_asids with 0. The fast path can then detect this case and fall back to spinning on the lock. Tested-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

ASIDs are allocated to MMU contexts based on a rolling counter. This means that after 255 allocations we must invalidate all existing ASIDs via an expensive IPI mechanism to synchronise all of the online CPUs and ensure that all tasks execute with an ASID from the new generation. This patch changes the rollover behaviour so that we rely instead on the hardware broadcasting of the TLB invalidation to avoid the IPI calls. This works by keeping track of the active ASID on each core, which is then reserved in the case of a rollover so that currently scheduled tasks can continue to run. For cores without hardware TLB broadcasting, we keep track of pending flushes in a cpumask, so cores can flush their local TLB before scheduling a new mm.

This patch introduces a new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the PID of the current task into the PROCID field of the CONTEXTIDR on context switch. This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream. The thread notifier for writing the PID is deliberately kept separate from the ASID-writing code so that we can support newer processors using LPAE, where the ASID is stored in TTBR0. As such, the switch_mm code is updated to perform a read-modify-write sequence to ensure that we don't clobber the PID on CPUs using the classic 2-level page tables.

The current_mm variable was used to store the new mm between the switch_mm() and switch_to() calls where an IPI to reset the context could have set the wrong mm. Since the interrupts are disabled during context switch, there is no need for this variable, current->active_mm already points to the current mm when interrupts are re-enabled.

Since the ASIDs must be unique to an mm across all the CPUs in a system, the __new_context() function needs to broadcast a context reset event to all the CPUs during ASID allocation if a roll-over occurred. Such IPIs cannot be issued with interrupts disabled and ARM had to define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW. This patch changes the check_context() function to check_and_switch_context() called from switch_mm(). In case of ASID-capable CPUs (ARMv6 onwards), if a new ASID is needed and the interrupts are disabled, it defers the __new_context() and cpu_switch_mm() calls to the post-lock switch hook where the interrupts are enabled. Setting the reserved TTBR0 was also moved to check_and_switch_context() from cpu_v7_switch_mm().

On ARMv7 CPUs that cache first level page table entries (like the Cortex-A15), using a reserved ASID while changing the TTBR or flushing the TLB is unsafe. This is because the CPU may cache the first level entry as the result of a speculative memory access while the reserved ASID is assigned. After the process owning the page tables dies, the memory will be reallocated and may be written with junk values which can be interpreted as global, valid PTEs by the processor. This will result in the TLB being populated with bogus global entries. This patch avoids the use of a reserved context ID in the v7 switch_mm and ASID rollover code by temporarily using the swapper_pg_dir pointed at by TTBR1, which contains only global entries that are not tagged with ASIDs.

This reverts commit 45b95235. Will Deacon reports that: In 52af9c6c ("ARM: 6943/1: mm: use TTBR1 instead of reserved context ID") I updated the ASID rollover code to use only the kernel page tables whilst updating the ASID. Unfortunately, the code to restore the user page tables was part of a later patch which isn't yet in mainline, so this leaves the code quite broken. We're also in the process of eliminating __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW from ARM, so lets revert these until we can properly sort out what we're doing with the context switching.

The current ASID allocation algorithm doesn't ensure the notification of the other CPUs when the ASID rolls over. This may lead to two processes using the same ASID (but different generation) or multiple threads of the same process using different ASIDs. This patch adds the broadcasting of the ASID rollover event to the other CPUs. To avoid a race on multiple CPUs modifying "cpu_last_asid" during the handling of the broadcast, the ASID numbering now starts at "smp_processor_id() + 1". At rollover, the cpu_last_asid will be set to NR_CPUS. Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Close a hole in the ASID version switch, particularly the following scenario: CPU0 MM PID CPU1 MM PID idle A pid(A) A idle(lazy tlb) * new asid version triggered by B * B pid(B) A pid(A) * MM A gets new asid version * A idle(lazy tlb) A pid(A) * CPU1 doesn't see the new ASID * The result is that CPU1 continues running with the hardware set for the original (stale) ASID value, but mm->context.id contains the new ASID value. The result is that the next MM fault on CPU1 updates the page table entries, but flush_tlb_page() fails due to wrong ASID. There is a related case with a threaded application is allocated a new ASID on one CPU while another of its threads is running on some different CPU. This scenario is not fixed by this commit.

On newer architectures (ARMv6, ARMv7), the depth of the prefetch and branch prediction is implementation defined and there is a small risk of wrong ASID tagging when changing TTBR0 before setting the new context id. The recommended solution is to set a reserved ASID during TTBR changing. This patch reserves ASID 0.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
