Dave Hansen c796e23240 x86/mm: Allow flushing for future ASID switches
commit 2ea907c4fe7b78e5840c1dc07800eae93248cad1 upstream.

If changing the page tables in such a way that an invalidation of all
contexts (aka. PCIDs / ASIDs) is required, they can be actively invalidated
by:

 1. INVPCID for each PCID (works for single pages too).

 2. Load CR3 with each PCID without the NOFLUSH bit set

 3. Load CR3 with the NOFLUSH bit set for each and do INVLPG for each address.

But, none of these are really feasible since there are ~6 ASIDs (12 with
PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION) at the time that invalidation is required.
Instead of actively invalidating them, invalidate the *current* context and
also mark the cpu_tlbstate _quickly_ to indicate future invalidation to be
required.

At the next context-switch, look for this indicator
('invalidate_other' being set) invalidate all of the
cpu_tlbstate.ctxs[] entries.

This ensures that any future context switches will do a full flush
of the TLB, picking up the previous changes.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
