^ is the above still true ? I see from the code that the rseq membarrier
only issues rseq_preempt, not any (documented) explicit core serialization nor
memory barrier.

I'm allergic to mixing code logic and preprocessor logic. Anything against
the following changes ?

(above)

static void ipi_rseq(void *info)
{
    rseq_preempt(current);
}

^ without the #ifdef CONFIG_RSEQ (rseq_preempt is already defined as a no-op when
CONFIG_RSEQ=n)

and within membarrier_private_expedited:

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RSEQ))
  return -EINVAL;
if (!(atomic_read(&mm->membarrier_state) &
    MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_READY))
  return -EPERM;
ipi_func = ipi_rseq;

Now that we have the first use of "flags", it would be a good time to change
"int flags" to "unsigned int flags", which is a preferred way to express system
call flags parameters.

Thanks,
