MIPS: KVM/locore.S: Don't preserve host ASID around vcpu_run
MIPS KVM uses different ASIDs for guest execution than for the host. The host ASID is saved on the stack when entering the guest with __kvm_mips_vcpu_run(), and restored again before returning back to the caller (exit to userland). - This does not take into account that pre-emption may have taken place during that time, which may have started a new ASID cycle and resulted in that process' ASID being invalidated and reused. - This does not take into account that the process may have migrated to a different CPU during that time, with a different ASID assignment since they are managed per-CPU. - It is actually redundant, since the host ASID will be restored correctly by kvm_arch_vcpu_put(), which is called almost immediately after kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() returns. Therefore drop this code from locore.S Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/13206/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
