Did you see any issue if these functions are not marked as notrace ?

As per Zong's explanation, the issue was that the other harts already
fetched the next 2 nops and
executed 1 while kernel patching replaced other with one of the auipc
+ jalr pair.

@Zong can correct me if I am wrong.

These functions are too far ahead. Can it cause such issues ? If yes,
then we need to mark each and every function
that can be invoked from patch_text_nosync and are not inlined.

That includes copy_to_kernel_nofault, __sbi_rfence_v02,
__sbi_rfence_v02_call, sbi_ecall.

Few of these functions may be inlined by compiler. Can we depend on that ?
