[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.8 006/132] powerpc: select ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-10-27 00:34:28
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 66acd46080bd9e5ad2be4b0eb1d498d5145d058e ]

powerpc uses IPIs in some situations to switch a kernel thread away
from a lazy tlb mm, which is subject to the TLB flushing race
described in the changelog introducing ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM.
