According to the architecture, the process table entry cache must be flushed with tlbie RIC=2. Currently the process table entry is set to invalid right before the PID is returned to the allocator, with no invalidation. This works on existing implementations that are known to not cache the process table entry for any except the current PIDR. It is architecturally correct and cleaner to invalidate with RIC=2 after clearing the process table entry and before the PID is returned to the allocator. This can be done in arch_exit_mmap that runs before the final flush, and to ensure the final flush (fullmm) is always a RIC=2 variant.

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.
