LAM can only be enabled when a process is single-threaded. But _kernel_
threads can temporarily use a single-threaded process's mm.
If LAM is enabled by a userspace process while a kthread is using its
mm, the kthread will not observe LAM enablement (i.e. LAM will be
disabled in CR3). This could be fine for the kthread itself, as LAM only
affects userspace addresses. However, if the kthread context switches to
a thread in the same userspace process, CR3 may or may not be updated
because the mm_struct doesn't change (based on pending TLB flushes). If
CR3 is not updated, the userspace thread will run incorrectly with LAM
disabled, which may cause page faults when using tagged addresses.
Example scenario:
CPU 1 CPU 2
/* kthread */
kthread_use_mm()
/* user thread */
prctl_enable_tagged_addr()
/* LAM enabled on CPU 2 */
/* LAM disabled on CPU 1 */
context_switch() /* to CPU 1 */
/* Switching to user thread */
switch_mm_irqs_off()
/* CR3 not updated */
/* LAM is still disabled on CPU 1 */
Synchronize LAM enablement by sending an IPI from
prctl_enable_tagged_addr() to all CPUs running with the mm_struct to
enable LAM. This makes sure LAM is enabled on CPU 1 in the above
scenario before prctl_enable_tagged_addr() returns and userspace starts
using tagged addresses, and before it's possible to run the userspace
process on CPU 1.
In switch_mm_irqs_off(), move reading the LAM mask until after
mm_cpumask() is updated. This ensures that if an outdated LAM mask is
written to CR3, an IPI is received to update it right after IRQs are
re-enabled.
