[PATCH] ARM: tls: context switch user writeable TLS registerTPIDRURW

From: Jonathan Austin
Date: Fri Feb 08 2013 - 10:55:12 EST


Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 ("ARM: 7403/1: tls: remove covert channel via
TPIDRURW") we have zeroed the user writeable TLS register to prevent it
from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.

However, it turns out that the wine guys would rather we actually
switched the register so that WinRT applications can use it to store a
pointer to their `thread environment block (TEB)'.

This patch implements TPIDRURW context-switching for cpus implementing
the register. Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). If no context switch occurs between these
two events then the thread_info struct that we use to construct the child
will have the old, stale, TPIDRURW value. To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

This patch is extended from an earlier version by Will Deacon in order to:
- Save TPIDRURW at context switch
- Deal with the race condition described above, including adding C-getters
