Series arm64: Use static key for PID in CONTEXTIDR | expand

Commit Message

Leo Yan Oct. 21, 2021, 1:45 p.m. UTC 
After introducing static key as the switch for tracing PID into
contextidr_el1, the kernel can dynamically turn on the static key to
use PID tracing to contextidr_el1.  This means even the config
CONFIG_PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR is not selected, the kernel still can use
contextidr_el1.

When erratum 84571 is detected, the workaround should be always
applied on contextidr_el1, particularly if the static key is enabled
dynamically.

This patch would introduce minor overload by one extra instruction for
accessing system register contextidr_el1 and it only impacts platform
which erratum 84571.  So it's expected to not cause any significant
regression.
