The IRET 17# instruction is core serializing, but not SYSEXIT. 18# 19# x86-64 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI. 20# However, it can return to user-space through either SYSRETL (compat code), 21# SYSRETQ, or IRET. 22# 23# Given that neither SYSRET{L,Q}, nor SYSEXIT, are core serializing, we rely 24# instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core serialization 25# after changing the current mm, and deal with the special case of kthread -> 26# uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into active_mm) by issuing a 27# sync_core_before_usermode() in that specific case. 28# 29 ----------------------- 30 | arch |status| 31 ----------------------- 32 | alpha: | TODO | 33 | arc: | TODO | 34 | arm: | ok | 35 | arm64: | ok | 36 | csky: | TODO | 37 | hexagon: | TODO | 38 | loongarch: | TODO | 39 | m68k: | TODO | 40 | microblaze: | TODO | 41 | mips: | TODO | 42 | nios2: | TODO | 43 | openrisc: | TODO | 44 | parisc: | TODO | 45 | powerpc: | ok | 46 | riscv: | TODO | 47 | s390: | ok | 48 | sh: | TODO | 49 | sparc: | TODO | 50 | um: | TODO | 51 | x86: | ok | 52 | xtensa: | TODO | 53 ----------------------- 54
