Dave Hansen c26b9e1931 x86/mm: Avoid incomplete Global INVLPG flushes 
commit ce0b15d11a upstream.

The INVLPG instruction is used to invalidate TLB entries for a
specified virtual address.  When PCIDs are enabled, INVLPG is supposed
to invalidate TLB entries for the specified address for both the
current PCID *and* Global entries.  (Note: Only kernel mappings set
Global=1.)

Unfortunately, some INVLPG implementations can leave Global
translations unflushed when PCIDs are enabled.

As a workaround, never enable PCIDs on affected processors.

I expect there to eventually be microcode mitigations to replace this
software workaround.  However, the exact version numbers where that
will happen are not known today.  Once the version numbers are set in
stone, the processor list can be tweaked to only disable PCIDs on
affected processors with affected microcode.

Note: if anyone wants a quick fix that doesn't require patching, just
stick 'nopcid' on your kernel command-line.

README 

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.
