Subject[RFC PATCH 0/2] x86: Fix missing core serialization on migration
Date
x86 can return to user-space through sysexit and sysretq, which are not
core serializing. This breaks expectations from user-space about
sequential consistency from a single-threaded self-modifying program
point of view in specific migration patterns.

Feedback is welcome,

Thanks,

Mathieu
