commit 78e072bc375043e81691a59454e09f0b38241ddd Author: David Vrabel <dvrabel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Wed Apr 20 10:55:01 2022 +0200 Commit: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Wed Apr 20 10:55:01 2022 +0200 x86/mm: avoid inadvertently degrading a TLB flush to local only If the direct map is incorrectly modified with interrupts disabled, the required TLB flushes are degraded to flushing the local CPU only. This could lead to very hard to diagnose problems as different CPUs will end up with different views of memory. Although, no such issues have yet been identified. Change the check in the flush_area() macro to look at system_state instead. This defers the switch from local to all later in the boot (see xen/arch/x86/setup.c:__start_xen()). This is fine because additional PCPUs are not brought up until after the system state is SYS_STATE_smp_boot.
