arm64: asid: Do not replace active_asids if already 0
Under some uncommon timing conditions, a generation check and xchg(active_asids, A1) in check_and_switch_context() on P1 can race with an ASID roll-over on P2. If P2 has not seen the update to active_asids[P1], it can re-allocate A1 to a new task T2 on P2. P1 ends up waiting on the spinlock since the xchg() returned 0 while P2 can go through a second ASID roll-over with (T2,A1,G2) active on P2. This roll-over copies active_asids[P1] == A1,G1 into reserved_asids[P1] and active_asids[P2] == A1,G2 into reserved_asids[P2]. A subsequent scheduling of T1 on P1 and T2 on P2 would match reserved_asids and get their generation bumped to G3: P1 P2 -- -- TTBR0.BADDR = T0 TTBR0.ASID = A0 asid_generation = G1 check_and_switch_context(T1,A1,G1) generation match check_and_switch_context(T2,A0,G0) new_context() ASID roll-over asid_generation = G2 flush_context() active_asids[P1] = 0 asid_map[A1] = 0 reserved_asids[P1] = A0,G0 xchg(active_asids, A1) active_asids[P1] = A1,G1 xchg returns 0 spin_lock_irqsave() allocated ASID (T2,A1,G2) asid_map[A1] = 1 active_asids[P2] = A1,G2 ... check_and_switch_context(T3,A0,G0) new_context() ASID roll-over asid_generation = G3 flush_context() active_asids[P1] = 0 asid_map[A1] = 1 reserved_asids[P1] = A1,G1 reserved_asids[P2] = A1,G2 allocated ASID (T3,A2,G3) asid_map[A2] = 1 active_asids[P2] = A2,G3 new_context() check_update_reserved_asid(A1,G1) matches reserved_asid[P1] reserved_asid[P1] = A1,G3 updated T1 ASID to (T1,A1,G3) check_and_switch_context(T2,A1,G2) new_context() check_and_switch_context(A1,G2) matches reserved_asids[P2] reserved_asids[P2] = A1,G3 updated T2 ASID to (T2,A1,G3) At this point, we have two tasks, T1 and T2 both using ASID A1 with the latest generation G3. Any of them is allowed to be scheduled on the other CPU leading to two different tasks with the same ASID on the same CPU. This patch changes the xchg to cmpxchg so that the active_asids is only updated if non-zero to avoid a race with an ASID roll-over on a different CPU. The ASID allocation algorithm has been formally verified using the TLA+ model checker (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/kernel-tla.git/tree/asidalloc.tla for the spec).
