Subject: [PATCH for 4.16 v4 09/11] membarrier: x86: Provide core serializing command
There are two places where core serialization is needed by membarrier:
1) When returning from the membarrier IPI,
2) After scheduler updates curr to a thread with a different mm, before
going back to user-space, since the curr->mm is used by membarrier to
check whether it needs to send an IPI to that CPU.
x86-32 uses iret as return from interrupt, and both iret and sysexit to go
back to user-space. The iret instruction is core serializing, but not
sysexit.
x86-64 uses iret as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
However, it can return to user-space through either sysretl (compat
code), sysretq, or iret. Given that sysret{l,q} is not core serializing,
we rely instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core
serialization after changing the current mm, and deal with the special
case of kthread -> uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into
active_mm) by adding a sync_core() in that specific case.
Use the new sync_core_before_usermode() to guarantee this.

---
Changes since v1:
- Use the newly introduced sync_core_before_usermode(). Move all state
handling to generic code.
- Add linux/processor.h include to include/linux/sched/mm.h.
Changes since v2:
- Fix use-after-free in membarrier_mm_sync_core_before_usermode.
Changes since v3:
- Move generic code into separate patch.
