commit 03c7527e97 upstream.
Catalin reports that a hypervisor lying to a guest about the size
of the ASID field may result in unexpected issues:
- if the underlying HW does only supports 8 bit ASIDs, the ASID
field in a TLBI VAE1* operation is only 8 bits, and the HW will
ignore the other 8 bits
- if on the contrary the HW is 16 bit capable, the ASID field
in the same TLBI operation is always 16 bits, irrespective of
the value of TCR_ELx.AS.
This could lead to missed invalidations if the guest was lead to
assume that the HW had 8 bit ASIDs while they really are 16 bit wide.
In order to avoid any potential disaster that would be hard to debug,
prenent the migration between a host with 8 bit ASIDs to one with
wider ASIDs (the converse was obviously always forbidden). This is
also consistent with what we already do for VMIDs.
If it becomes absolutely mandatory to support such a migration path
in the future, we will have to trap and emulate all TLBIs, something
that nobody should look forward to.
