Andy Lutomirski 52a2af400c x86/mm/64: Stop using CR3.PCID == 0 in ASID-aware code ... Putting the logical ASID into CR3's PCID bits directly means that we have two cases to consider separately: ASID == 0 and ASID != 0. This means that bugs that only hit in one of these cases trigger nondeterministically. There were some bugs like this in the past, and I think there's still one in current kernels. In particular, we have a number of ASID-unware code paths that save CR3, write some special value, and then restore CR3. This includes suspend/resume, hibernate, kexec, EFI, and maybe other things I've missed. This is currently dangerous: if ASID != 0, then this code sequence will leave garbage in the TLB tagged for ASID 0. We could potentially see corruption when switching back to ASID 0. In principle, an initialize_tlbstate_and_flush() call after these sequences would solve the problem, but EFI, at least, does not call this. (And it probably shouldn't -- initialize_tlbstate_and_flush() is rather expensive.)
