Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Avoid incomplete Global INVLPG flushes

The INVLPG instruction is used to invalidate TLB entries for a specified virtual address. When PCIDs are enabled, INVLPG is supposed to invalidate TLB entries for the specified address for both the current PCID *and* Global entries. (Note: Only kernel mappings set Global=1.)

Unfortunately, some INVLPG implementations can leave Global translations unflushed when PCIDs are enabled.

As a workaround, never enable PCIDs on affected processors.

I expect there to eventually be microcode mitigations to replace this software workaround. However, the exact version numbers where that will happen are not known today. Once the version numbers are set in stone, the processor list can be tweaked to only disable PCIDs on affected processors with affected microcode.

Note: if anyone wants a quick fix that doesn't require patching, just stick 'nopcid' on your kernel command-line.
