arm64/kvm: Remove VMID rollover I-cache maintenance
For VPIPT I-caches, we need I-cache maintenance on VMID rollover to avoid an ABA problem. Consider a single vCPU VM, with a pinned stage-2, running with an idmap VA->IPA and idmap IPA->PA. If we don't do maintenance on rollover: // VMID A Writes insn X to PA 0xF Invalidates PA 0xF (for VMID A) I$ contains [{A,F}->X] [VMID ROLLOVER] // VMID B Writes insn Y to PA 0xF Invalidates PA 0xF (for VMID B) I$ contains [{A,F}->X, {B,F}->Y] [VMID ROLLOVER] // VMID A I$ contains [{A,F}->X, {B,F}->Y] Unexpectedly hits stale I$ line {A,F}->X. However, for PIPT and VIPT I-caches, the VMID doesn't affect lookup or constrain maintenance. Given the VMID doesn't affect PIPT and VIPT I-caches, and given VMID rollover is independent of changes to stage-2 mappings, I-cache maintenance cannot be necessary on VMID rollover for PIPT or VIPT I-caches. This patch removes the maintenance on rollover for VIPT and PIPT I-caches. At the same time, the unnecessary colons are removed from the asm statement to make it more legible.
