[PATCH 0/7] Fix kpti-enabled kernels for Cavium ThunderX

[will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon)]

Hi all,

Cavium ThunderX suffers from a mysterious hardware erratum where a broadcast
TLBI can lead to I-cache corruption when executing from non-global mappings.
This is somehow resolved for userspace by invalidating the entire I-cache
on context-switch.

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/56BB848A.6060603 at caviumnetworks.com

With kpti, the kernel always runs with non-global mappings which means that the
I-cache can become corrupted when running at EL1, causing weird crashes and
even attempts to execute user code.

This patch series tries to address this by making the transition from Global to
Non-global mappings a runtime decision after we've brought up all the CPUs. The
requirement for break-before-make in the presence of contiguous mappings make
this horribly complicated, so the page table manipulation runs mostly with the
MMU off and no stack.

I'd value feedback from people lucky enough to own a ThunderX as to whether
this fixes stability problems with their platform when running a kpti-enabled
kernel.

Patches based on for-next/core, which is why I've included Shanker's patch
introducing pre_disable_mmu_workaround as the first in the series (since
this is needed when we disable the MMU in idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings).

Cheers,

Will
