[added to the 3.18 stable tree] arm64: Do not attempt to use init_mm in reset_context()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 565630d503ef24e44c252bed55571b3a0d68455f ]

After secondary CPU boot or hotplug, the active_mm of the idle thread is
&init_mm. The init_mm.pgd (swapper_pg_dir) is only meant for TTBR1_EL1
and must not be set in TTBR0_EL1. Since when active_mm == &init_mm the
TTBR0_EL1 is already set to the reserved value, there is no need to
perform any context reset.
