    Subject[PATCH 4.9 061/102] arm64: tls: Avoid unconditional zeroing of tpidrro_el0 for native tasks
    Date
    4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

    commit 18011eac28c7 upstream.

    When unmapping the kernel at EL0, we use tpidrro_el0 as a scratch register
    during exception entry from native tasks and subsequently zero it in
    the kernel_ventry macro. We can therefore avoid zeroing tpidrro_el0
    in the context-switch path for native tasks using the entry trampoline.
