3.19.8-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.mari...@arm.com>
commit 565630d503ef24e44c252bed55571b3a0d68455f upstream.
After secondary CPU boot or hotplug, the active_mm of the idle thread is
&init_mm. The init_mm.pgd (swapper_pg_dir) is only meant for TTBR1_EL1
and must not be set in TTBR0_EL1. Since when active_mm == &init_mm the
TTBR0_EL1 is already set to the reserved value, there is no need to
perform any context reset.
