LAM can only be enabled when a process is single-threaded. But _kernel_ threads can temporarily use a single-threaded process's mm. That means that a context-switching kernel thread can race and observe the mm's LAM metadata (mm->context.lam_cr3_mask) change. The context switch code does two logical things with that metadata: populate CR3 and populate 'cpu_tlbstate.lam'. If it hits this race, 'cpu_tlbstate.lam' and CR3 can end up out of sync. This de-synchronization is currently harmless. But it is confusing and might lead to warnings or real bugs. Update set_tlbstate_lam_mode() to take in the LAM mask and untag mask instead of an mm_struct pointer, and while we are at it, rename it to cpu_tlbstate_update_lam(). This should also make it clearer that we are updating cpu_tlbstate. In switch_mm_irqs_off(), read the LAM mask once and use it for both the cpu_tlbstate update and the CR3 update.

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 reStructuredText 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.
