KPTI), the hardware ASID has bit 0 set automatically when entering user space (and cleared when getting back to the kernel). If the returned asid value here is going to be used as is in the calling code, you should probably set bit 0 when KPTI is enabled. -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
