Isn't LPID initialised in __setup_cpu_power9() and __restore_cpu_power9() ? eg: _GLOBAL(__setup_cpu_power9) mflr r11 bl __init_FSCR bl __init_PMU bl __init_hvmode_206 mtlr r11 beqlr li r0,0 mtspr SPRN_PSSCR,r0 mtspr SPRN_LPID,r0 Similarly, shouldn't we be doing the PID initialisation there as well? cheers

Hmm, yes I must have missed that! Yes that would be the best place to put it. Thanks, Nick

kexec can leave MMU registers set when booting into a new kernel, PIDR in particular. The boot sequence does not zero PIDR, so it only gets set when CPUs first switch to a userspace processes (until then it's running a kernel thread with effective PID = 0). This leaves a window where a process table entry and page tables are set up due to user processes running on other CPUs, that happen to match with a stale PID. The CPU with that PID may cause speculative accesses that address quadrant 0, which will result in cached translations and PWC for that process, on a CPU which is not in the mm_cpumask and so they will not get invalidated properly. The most common result is the kernel hanging in infinite page fault loops soon after kexec (usually in schedule_tail, which is usually the first non-speculative quardant 0 access to a new PID) due to a stale PWC. However being a stale translation erorr, it could result in anything up to security and data corruption errors. Fix this by zeroing out PIDR before setting PTCR. LPIDR is also not initialized, and may cause a similar issue with speculative access to quadrant 1/2. This has not been observed, but LPIDR is cleared to prevent that possibility.
