[PATCH 4.20 46/80] arm64: Do not issue IPIs for user executable ptes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 04 2019 - 05:52:25 EST


4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

commit 132fdc379eb143932d209a20fd581e1ce7630960 upstream.

Commit 3b8c9f1cdfc5 ("arm64: IPI each CPU after invalidating the I-cache
for kernel mappings") was aimed at fixing the I-cache invalidation for
kernel mappings. However, it inadvertently caused all cache maintenance
for user mappings via set_pte_at() -> __sync_icache_dcache() ->
sync_icache_aliases() to call kick_all_cpus_sync().
