Will Deacon 45b95235b0 ARM: 6944/1: mm: allow ASID 0 to be allocated to tasks
Now that ASID 0 is no longer used as a reserved value, allow it to be
allocated to tasks.

Will Deacon 52af9c6cd8 ARM: 6943/1: mm: use TTBR1 instead of reserved context ID
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.

Catalin Marinas 11805bcfa4 ARM: 5905/1: ARM: Global ASID allocation on SMP
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.

Russell King df71dfd4ca ARM: Fix errata 411920 workarounds
Errata 411920 indicates that any "invalidate entire instruction cache"
operation can fail if the right conditions are present.  This is not
limited just to those operations in flush.c, but elsewhere.  Place the
workaround in the already existing __flush_icache_all() function
instead.

Rusty Russell 56f8ba83a5 cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: arm
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

Catalin Marinas 065cf519c3 [ARM] armv7: add support for asid-tagged VIVT I-cache
ARMv7 can have VIPT, PIPT or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. This patch
adds the necessary invalidation of the I-cache when the ASID numbers
are re-used.

Russell King 8678c1f042 [ARM] Fix ASID version switch
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.

Catalin Marinas 9d99df4b10 [ARM] 4128/1: Architecture compliant TTBR changing sequence
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.

code rather than generic "mmu" handling code.
