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).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
