From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 565630d503ef24e44c252bed55571b3a0d68455f upstream. 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.
