Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] membarrier fixes

Hi all-

This is v2, and this time around everything is tagged for -stable.

Changes from v1:
 - patch 1: comment fixes from Mathier
 - patch 2: improved comments
 - patch 3: split out as a separate patch
 - patch 4: now has a proper explanation

Mathieu, I think we have to make sync_core sync the caller.  See patch 4.

Andy Lutomirski (4):
  x86/membarrier: Get rid of a dubious optimization
  membarrier: Add an actual barrier before rseq_preempt()
  membarrier: Explicitly sync remote cores when SYNC_CORE is requested
  membarrier: Execute SYNC_CORE on the calling thread
