Commit e1a5848e33 ("ARM: 7924/1: mm: don't bother with reserved ttbr0
when running with LPAE") removed the use of the reserved TTBR0 value
for LPAE systems, since the ASID is held in the TTBR and can be updated
atomicly with the pgd of the next mm.
Unfortunately, this patch forgot to update flush_context, which
deliberately avoids marking the local active ASID as allocated, since we
used to switch via ASID zero and didn't need to allocate the ASID of
the previous mm. The side-effect of this is that we can allocate the
same ASID to the next mm and, between flushing the local TLB and updating
TTBR0, we can perform speculative TLB fills for userspace nG mappings
using the page table of the previous mm.
The consequence of this is that the next mm can erroneously hit some
mappings of the previous mm. Note that this was made significantly
harder to hit by a391263cd8 ("ARM: 8203/1: mm: try to re-use old ASID
assignments following a rollover") but is still theoretically possible.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the code from flush_context
that forces the allocated ASID to zero for the local CPU. Many thanks
to the Broadcom guys for tracking this one down.
