arm64: kernel: fix __cpu_suspend mm switch on warm-boot
On arm64 the TTBR0_EL1 register is set to either the reserved TTBR0
page tables on boot or to the active_mm mappings belonging to user space
processes, it must never be set to swapper_pg_dir page tables mappings.
When a CPU is booted its active_mm is set to init_mm even though its
TTBR0_EL1 points at the reserved TTBR0 page mappings. This implies
that when __cpu_suspend is triggered the active_mm can point at
init_mm even if the current TTBR0_EL1 register contains the reserved
TTBR0_EL1 mappings.
Therefore, the mm save and restore executed in __cpu_suspend might
turn out to be erroneous in that, if the current->active_mm corresponds
to init_mm, on resume from low power it ends up restoring in the
TTBR0_EL1 the init_mm mappings that are global and can cause speculation
of TLB entries which end up being propagated to user space.
This patch fixes the issue by checking the active_mm pointer before
restoring the TTBR0 mappings. If the current active_mm == &init_mm,
the code sets the TTBR0_EL1 to the reserved TTBR0 mapping instead of
switching back to the active_mm, which is the expected behaviour
corresponding to the TTBR0_EL1 settings when __cpu_suspend was entered.
