Subject: CVE-2021-47414: riscv: Flush current cpu icache before other cpus

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: Flush current cpu icache before other cpus

On SiFive Unmatched, I recently fell onto the following BUG when booting:

While ftrace is looping over a list of addresses to patch, it always failed
when patching the same function: riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask. Looking at the
backtrace, the illegal instruction is encountered in this same function.
However, patch_text_nosync, after patching the instructions, calls
flush_icache_range. But looking at what happens in this function:

flush_icache_range -> flush_icache_all
                   -> sbi_remote_fence_i
                   -> __sbi_rfence_v02
                   -> riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask

The icache and dcache of the current cpu are never synchronized between the
patching of riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask and calling this same function.

So fix this by flushing the current cpu's icache before asking for the other
cpus to do the same.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47414 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/427faa29e06f0709476ea1bd59758f997ec8b64e
