Huacai Chen f93f67d06b LoongArch: Improve hardware page table walker 
LoongArch has similar problems explained in commit 7f0b1bf045
("arm64: Fix barriers used for page table modifications"), when hardware
page table walker (PTW) enabled, speculative accesses may cause spurious
page fault in kernel space. Theoretically, in order to completely avoid
spurious page fault we need a "dbar + ibar" pair between the page table
modifications and the subsequent memory accesses using the corresponding
virtual address. But "ibar" is too heavy for performace, so we only use
a "dbar 0b11000" in set_pte(). And let spurious_fault() filter the rest
rare spurious page faults which should be avoided by "ibar".

Besides, we replace the llsc loop with amo in set_pte() which has better
performace, and refactor mmu_context.h to 1) avoid any load/store/branch
instructions between the writing of CSR.ASID & CSR.PGDL, 2) ensure flush
tlb operation is after updating ASID.

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 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.
