Subject: [PATCH 4.14 029/146] x86/mm: Clarify the whole ASID/kernel PCID/user PCID naming
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
commit 0a126abd576ebc6403f063dbe20cf7416c9d9393 upstream.
Ideally we'd also use sparse to enforce this separation so it becomes much
more difficult to mess up.

+ * The x86 feature is called PCID (Process Context IDentifier). It is similar

+ *
+ * We don't use the traditional ASID implementation, where each process/mm gets
+ * its own ASID and flush/restart when we run out of ASID space.
+ *
+ * Instead we have a small per-cpu array of ASIDs and cache the last few mm's
+ * that came by on this CPU, allowing cheaper switch_mm between processes on
+ * this CPU.
+ *
+ * We end up with different spaces for different things. To avoid confusion we
+ * use different names for each of them:
+ *
+ * ASID - [0, TLB_NR_DYN_ASIDS-1]
+ * the canonical identifier for an mm
+ *
+ * kPCID - [1, TLB_NR_DYN_ASIDS]
+ * the value we write into the PCID part of CR3; corresponds to the
+ * ASID+1, because PCID 0 is special.
+ *
+ * uPCID - [2048 + 1, 2048 + TLB_NR_DYN_ASIDS]
+ * for KPTI each mm has two address spaces and thus needs two
+ * PCID values, but we can still do with a single ASID denomination
+ * for each mm. Corresponds to kPCID + 2048.
