Subject: powerpc/mm/radix: Use tlbiel only if we ever ran on the current cpu
From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bd77c4498616e27d5725b5959d880ce2272fefa9 upstream.
Before this patch, we used tlbiel, if we ever ran only on this core.
That was mostly derived from the nohash usage of the same. But is
incorrect, the ISA 3.0 clarifies tlbiel such that:
"All TLB entries that have all of the following properties are made
invalid on the thread executing the tlbiel instruction"
ie. tlbiel only invalidates TLB entries on the current thread. So if the
mm has been used on any other thread (aka. cpu) then we must broadcast
the invalidate.
This bug could lead to invalid TLB entries if a program runs on multiple
threads of a core.
Hence use tlbiel, if we only ever ran on only the current cpu.
