Will Deacon 737c16dffc arm64: mm: don't bother invalidating the icache in switch_mm
We don't support software broadcast of cache maintenance operations, so
this flush is not required (__sync_icache_dcache will always affect all
CPUs).

Will Deacon ec45d1cfd3 arm64: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process
This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR
register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a
new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the
PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register 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.

Catalin Marinas b3901d54dc arm64: Process management
The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
