Catalin Marinas 8c36240460 arm64: Ensure bits ASID[15:8] are masked out when the kernel uses 8-bit ASIDs 
commit c0900d15d3 upstream.

Linux currently sets the TCR_EL1.AS bit unconditionally during CPU
bring-up. On an 8-bit ASID CPU, this is RES0 and ignored, otherwise
16-bit ASIDs are enabled. However, if running in a VM and the hypervisor
reports 8-bit ASIDs (ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ASIDBits == 0) on a 16-bit ASIDs
CPU, Linux uses bits 8 to 63 as a generation number for tracking old
process ASIDs. The bottom 8 bits of this generation end up being written
to TTBR1_EL1 and also used for the ASID-based TLBI operations as the
upper 8 bits of the ASID. Following an ASID roll-over event we can have
threads of the same application with the same 8-bit ASID but different
generation numbers running on separate CPUs. Both TLB caching and the
TLBI operations will end up using different actual 16-bit ASIDs for the
same process.

A similar scenario can happen in a big.LITTLE configuration if the boot
CPU only uses 8-bit ASIDs while secondary CPUs have 16-bit ASIDs.

Ensure that the ASID generation is only tracked by bits 16 and up,
leaving bits 15:8 as 0 if the kernel uses 8-bit ASIDs. Note that
clearing TCR_EL1.AS is not sufficient since the architecture requires
that the top 8 bits of the ASID passed to TLBI instructions are 0 rather
than ignored in such configuration.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
