At the time of authoring 7655abb953 ("arm64: mm: Move ASID from TTBR0
to TTBR1"), the Arm ARM did not specify any ordering guarantees for
direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx and so an ISB was required
after each write to ensure TLBs would only be populated from the
expected (or reserved tables).
In a recent update to the Arm ARM, the requirements have been relaxed to
reflect the implementation of current CPUs and required implementation
of future CPUs to read (RDYDPX in D8.2.3 Translation table base address
register):
Direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx occur in program order
relative to one another, without the need for explicit
synchronization. For any one translation, all indirect reads of
TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx that are made as part of the translation
observe only one point in that order of direct writes.
Remove the superfluous ISBs to optimize uaccess helpers and context
switch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
