Putting the logical ASID into CR3's PCID bits directly means that we have two cases to consider separately: ASID == 0 and ASID != 0. This means that bugs that only hit in one of these cases trigger nondeterministically. There were some bugs like this in the past, and I think there's still one in current kernels. In particular, we have a number of ASID-unware code paths that save CR3, write some special value, and then restore CR3. This includes suspend/resume, hibernate, kexec, EFI, and maybe other things I've missed. This is currently dangerous: if ASID != 0, then this code sequence will leave garbage in the TLB tagged for ASID 0. We could potentially see corruption when switching back to ASID 0. In principle, an initialize_tlbstate_and_flush() call after these sequences would solve the problem, but EFI, at least, does not call this. (And it probably shouldn't -- initialize_tlbstate_and_flush() is rather expensive.)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
