[PATCH] riscv: asid: Fixup stale TLB entry cause application crash

[guoren at kernel.org]

From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

When use_asid_allocator is enabled, the userspace application would
crash by stale tlb entry. Because only using cpumask_clear_cpu without
local_flush_tlb_all couldn't guarantee CPU's tlb contains fresh mapping
entry. Then set_mm_asid would cause user space application get a stale
value by stale tlb entry, but set_mm_noasid is okay.

Here is the symptom of the bug:
unhandled signal 11 code 0x1 (coredump)
   0x0000003fd6d22524 <+4>:     auipc   s0,0x70
   0x0000003fd6d22528 <+8>:     ld      s0,-148(s0) # 0x3fd6d92490
=> 0x0000003fd6d2252c <+12>:    ld      a5,0(s0)
(gdb) i r s0
s0          0x8082ed1cc3198b21       0x8082ed1cc3198b21
(gdb) x/16 0x3fd6d92490
0x3fd6d92490:   0xd80ac8a8      0x0000003f
The core dump file show us the value of register s0 is wrong, but the
value in memory is right.

When task run on CPU0, the task loaded/speculative-loaded the value of
address-0x3fd6d92490, the first version tlb mapping enter in CPU0's tlb.
When the task switched from CPU0 to CPU1 without local_tlb_flush_all
(because of asid), the task happened to write a value on address:
0x3fd6d92490 that caused do_page_fault -> wp_page_copy ->
ptep_clear_flush -> ptep_get_and_clear & flush_tlb_page.
The flush_tlb_page would use mm_cpumask(mm) to determine which CPUs need
tlb flush, but CPU0 cleared the CPU0's mm_cpumask in previous switch_mm.
So we only flushed the CPU1's tlb entry, and setted second version mapping
of the pte. When the task switch from CPU1 to CPU0 again, it still used a
stale tlb entry on CPU0 which contained a wrong target physical address.
When the task happened to read that value, the bug would be raised.
