commit 7c003ab4a398ff4ddd54d15d4158cffb463134cc Author: David Vrabel <dvrabel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue Jun 7 13:59:31 2022 +0200 Commit: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Tue Jun 7 13:59:31 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.

Note that alternative_branches() is called before APs are started, so the flush must be a local one (and indeed the cpumask passed to flush_area_mask() just contains one CPU). Take the opportunity to simplify a bit the logic and make flush_area() an alias of flush_area_all() in mm.c, taking into account that cpu_online_map just contains the BSP before APs are started. This requires widening the assert in flush_area_mask() to allow being called with interrupts disabled as long as it's strictly a local only flush. The overall result is that a conditional can be removed from flush_area(). While there also introduce an ASSERT to check that a vCPU state flush is not issued for the local CPU only.
