I see thread switching sets the same value for both MPAM0 and MPAM1 registers but I couldn't find an explanation why this is now better when it wasn't before. MPAM1 will also be inherited by IRQ handlers AFAICT. > + int cpu = smp_processor_id(); > + u64 regval = 0; > + > + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_MPAM) && static_branch_likely(&mpam_enabled)) > + regval = READ_ONCE(per_cpu(arm64_mpam_current, cpu)); > + > + write_sysreg_s(regval, SYS_MPAM1_EL1); > + isb(); > + > + /* Synchronising the EL0 write is left until the ERET to EL0 */ > + write_sysreg_s(regval, SYS_MPAM0_EL1); I mentioned before, is it worth waiting until ERET? Related to this, do LDTR/STTR use MPAM0 or MPAM1? I couldn't figure out from the Arm ARM. If they use MPAM0, then we need the ISB early for the uaccess routines, at least in the thread switching path (an earlier patch). -- Catalin
