Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fixes for SW PAN

Hi all,

After lots of collective head scratching in response to Vinayak's mail
here:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-December/545641.html

It turns out that we have a problem with SW PAN and kernel threads, where
the saved ttbr0 value for a kernel thread can be stale and subsequently
inherited by other kernel threads over a fork.

These two patches attempt to fix that. We've not be able to reproduce
the exact failure reported above, but I added some assertions to the
uaccess routines to check for discrepancies between the active_mm pgd
and the saved ttbr0 value (ignoring the zero page) and these no longer
fire with these changes, but do fire without them if EFI runtime services
are enabled on my Seattle board.

Cheers,

Will
