If page tables are modified without suitable TLB maintenance, the ARM architecture permits multiple TLB entries to be allocated for the same VA. When this occurs, it is permitted that TLB conflict aborts are raised in response to synchronous data/instruction accesses, and/or and amalgamation of the TLB entries may be used as a result of a TLB lookup. The presence of conflicting TLB entries may result in a variety of behaviours detrimental to the system (e.g. erroneous physical addresses may be used by I-cache fetches and/or page table walks). Some of these cases may result in unexpected changes of hardware state, and/or result in the (asynchronous) delivery of SError. To avoid these issues, we must avoid situations where conflicting entries may be allocated into TLBs. For user and module mappings we can follow a strict break-before-make approach, but this cannot work for modifications to the swapper page tables that cover the kernel text and data. Instead, this patch adds code which is intended to be executed from the idmap, which can safely unmap the swapper page tables as it only requires the idmap to be active. This enables us to uninstall the active TTBR1_EL1 entry, invalidate TLBs, then install a new TTBR1_EL1 entry without potentially unmapping code or data required for the sequence. This avoids the risk of conflict, but requires that updates are staged in a copy of the swapper page tables prior to being installed.
