Thomas Gleixner a56a19e44b x86/alternatives: Sync core before enabling interrupts
commit 3ea1704a92967834bf0e64ca1205db4680d04048 upstream.

text_poke_early() does:

   local_irq_save(flags);
   memcpy(addr, opcode, len);
   local_irq_restore(flags);
   sync_core();

That's not really correct because the synchronization should happen before
interrupts are re-enabled to ensure that a pending interrupt observes the
complete update of the opcodes.

It's not entirely clear whether the interrupt entry provides enough
serialization already, but moving the sync_core() invocation into interrupt
disabled region does no harm and is obviously correct.

README

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.
