Subject[RFC PATCH for 4.15 0/9] membarrier updates for 4.15
Date
Those are the membarrier changes I plan to submit for 4.15.

This series includes selftests improvements for sys_membarrier,
improvement of powerpc handling of the memory barrier required
by sys_membarrier in switch_mm(), and adds a new core serializing
membarrier, currently only implemented on x86. Architectures
wishing to provide the core serializing membarrier need to
select ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE and document how they
provide the core serialization required by that command in their
architecture code.

I included the x86 core serializing migration fix into that series,
given that this fix and membarrier sync_core both depend on the
new sync_core_before_usermode() architecture function.

Feedback is welcome,

Thanks,

Mathieu
