      arm64: kpti: Fix the interaction between ASID switching and software PAN · 6b88a32c
      Catalin Marinas authored
      With ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN enabled, the exception entry code checks the
      active ASID to decide whether user access was enabled (non-zero ASID)
      when the exception was taken. On return from exception, if user access
      was previously disabled, it re-instates TTBR0_EL1 from the per-thread
      saved value (updated in switch_mm() or efi_set_pgd()).
      
      Commit 7655abb9 ("arm64: mm: Move ASID from TTBR0 to TTBR1") makes a
      TTBR0_EL1 + ASID switching non-atomic. Subsequently, commit 27a921e7
      ("arm64: mm: Fix and re-enable ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN") changes the
      __uaccess_ttbr0_disable() function and asm macro to first write the
      reserved TTBR0_EL1 followed by the ASID=0 update in TTBR1_EL1. If an
      exception occurs between these two, the exception return code will
      re-instate a valid TTBR0_EL1. Similar scenario can happen in
      cpu_switch_mm() between setting the reserved TTBR0_EL1 and the ASID
      update in cpu_do_switch_mm().
      
      This patch reverts the entry.S check ...
