+Subject: parisc: disable UP-optimized flush_tlb_mm
+
+From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@infradead.org>
+
+commit 5289f46b9de04bde181d833d48df9671b69c4b08 upstream.
+
+flush_tlb_mm's "optimized" uniprocessor case of allocating a new
+context for userspace is exposing a race where we can suddely return
+to a syscall with the protection id and space id out of sync, trapping
+on the next userspace access.
