mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB invalidate
For SMP systems using IPI based TLB invalidation, looking at
current->active_mm is entirely reasonable. This then presents the
following race condition:
CPU0 CPU1
flush_tlb_mm(mm) use_mm(mm)
<send-IPI>
tsk->active_mm = mm;
<IPI>
if (tsk->active_mm == mm)
// flush TLBs
</IPI>
switch_mm(old_mm,mm,tsk);
Where it is possible the IPI flushed the TLBs for @old_mm, not @mm,
because the IPI lands before we actually switched.
Avoid this by disabling IRQs across changing ->active_mm and
switch_mm().
Of the (SMP) architectures that have IPI based TLB invalidate:
Alpha - checks active_mm
ARC - ASID specific
IA64 - checks active_mm
MIPS - ASID specific flush
OpenRISC - shoots down world
PARISC - shoots down world
SH - ASID specific
SPARC - ASID specific
x86 - N/A
xtensa - checks active_mm
So at the very least Alpha, IA64 and Xtensa are suspect.
On top of this, for scheduler consistency we need at least preemption
disabled across changing tsk->mm and doing switch_mm(), which is
currently provided by task_lock(), but that's not sufficient for
PREEMPT_RT.
