From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2017 18:43:06 -0700 Subject: kaiser: kaiser_flush_tlb_on_return_to_user() check PCID

From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com

Let kaiser_flush_tlb_on_return_to_user() do the X86_FEATURE_PCID check, instead of each caller doing it inline first: nobody needs to optimize for the noPCID case, it's clearer this way, and better suits later changes. Replace those no-op X86_CR3_PCID_KERN_FLUSH lines by a BUILD_BUG_ON() in load_new_mm_cr3(), in case something changes.
