Lazy TLB state is currently managed in a rather baroque manner. AFAICT, there are three possible states: - Non-lazy. This means that we're running a user thread or a kernel thread that has called use_mm(). current->mm == current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm and cpu_tlbstate.state == TLBSTATE_OK. - Lazy with user mm. We're running a kernel thread without an mm and we're borrowing an mm_struct. We have current->mm == NULL, current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, cpu_tlbstate.state != TLBSTATE_OK (i.e. TLBSTATE_LAZY or 0). The current cpu is set in mm_cpumask(current->active_mm). CR3 points to current->active_mm->pgd. The TLB is up to date. - Lazy with init_mm. This happens when we call leave_mm(). We have current->mm == NULL, current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, but that mm is only relelvant insofar as the scheduler is tracking it for refcounting. cpu_tlbstate.state != TLBSTATE_OK. The current cpu is clear in mm_cpumask(current->active_mm). CR3 points to swapper_pg_dir, i.e. init_mm->pgd. This patch simplifies the situation. Other than perf, x86 stops caring about current->active_mm at all. We have cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm pointing to the mm that CR3 references. The TLB is always up to date for that mm. leave_mm() just switches us to init_mm. There are no longer any special cases for mm_cpumask, and switch_mm() switches mms without worrying about laziness. After this patch, cpu_tlbstate.state serves only to tell the TLB flush code whether it may switch to init_mm instead of doing a normal flush. This makes fairly extensive changes to xen_exit_mmap(), which used to look a bit like black magic. Perf is unchanged. With or without this change, perf may behave a bit erratically if it tries to read user memory in kernel thread context. We should build on this patch to teach perf to never look at user memory when cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm != current->mm.
