Subject[PATCH v10 14/14] powerpc: Use mm_context vas_windows counter to issue CP_ABORT
From
Date

set_thread_uses_vas() sets used_vas flag for a process that opened VAS
window and issue CP_ABORT during context switch for only that process.
In multi-thread application, windows can be shared. For example Thread A
can open a window and Thread B can run COPY/PASTE instructions to send
NX request which may cause corruption or snooping or a covert channel.
Also once this flag is set, continue to run CP_ABORT even the VAS window
is closed.

So define vas-windows counter in process mm_context, increment this
counter for each window open and decrement it for window close. If
vas-windows is set, issue CP_ABORT during context switch. It means
clear the foreign real address mapping only if the process / thread uses
COPY/PASTE. Then disable it for that process if windows are not open.
