commita38662084cupstream. The ASCE of an mm_struct can be modified after a task has been created, e.g. via crst_table_downgrade for a compat process. The active_mm logic to avoid the switch_mm call if the next task is a kernel thread can lead to a situation where switch_mm is called where 'prev == next' is true but 'prev->context.asce == next->context.asce' is not. This can lead to a situation where a CPU uses the outdated ASCE to run a task. The result can be a crash, endless loops and really subtle problem due to TLBs being created with an invalid ASCE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
