Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Clarify the whole ASID/kernel PCID/user PCID naming
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CVE-2017-5754

Ideally we'd also use sparse to enforce this separation so it becomes much
more difficult to mess up.

+ * The x86 feature is called PCID (Process Context IDentifier). It is similar
+ * to what is traditionally called ASID on the RISC processors.
+ *
+ * We don't use the traditional ASID implementation, where each process/mm gets
+ * its own ASID and flush/restart when we run out of ASID space.
+ *
+ * Instead we have a small per-cpu array of ASIDs and cache the last few mm's
+ * that came by on this CPU, allowing cheaper switch_mm between processes on
+ * this CPU.
+ *
+ * We end up with different spaces for different things. To avoid confusion we
+ * use different names for each of them:
+ *
+ * ASID  - [0, TLB_NR_DYN_ASIDS-1]
+ *         the canonical identifier for an mm
+ *
+ * kPCID - [1, TLB_NR_DYN_ASIDS]
+ *         the value we write into the PCID part of CR3; corresponds to the
+ *         ASID+1, because PCID 0 is special.
+ *
+ * uPCID - [2048 + 1, 2048 + TLB_NR_DYN_ASIDS]
+ *         for KPTI each mm has two address spaces and thus needs two
+ *         PCID values, but we can still do with a single ASID denomination
+ *         for each mm. Corresponds to kPCID + 2048.
