Subject: CVE-2024-53687: riscv: Fix IPIs usage in kfence_protect_page()

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

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

riscv: Fix IPIs usage in kfence_protect_page()

flush_tlb_kernel_range() may use IPIs to flush the TLBs of all the
cores, which triggers the following warning when the irqs are disabled:

So only flush the local TLB and let the lazy kfence page fault handling
deal with the faults which could happen when a core has an old protected
pte version cached in its TLB. That leads to potential inaccuracies which
can be tolerated when using kfence.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-53687 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:
