membarrier: Execute SYNC_CORE on the calling thread
membarrier()'s MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE is documented as
syncing the core on all sibling threads but not necessarily the calling
thread. This behavior is fundamentally buggy and cannot be used safely.
Suppose a user program has two threads. Thread A is on CPU 0 and thread B
is on CPU 1. Thread A modifies some text and calls
membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE).
Then thread B executes the modified code. If, at any point after
membarrier() decides which CPUs to target, thread A could be preempted and
replaced by thread B on CPU 0. This could even happen on exit from the
membarrier() syscall. If this happens, thread B will end up running on CPU
0 without having synced.
In principle, this could be fixed by arranging for the scheduler to issue
sync_core_before_usermode() whenever switching between two threads in the
same mm if there is any possibility of a concurrent membarrier() call, but
this would have considerable overhead. Instead, make membarrier() sync the
calling CPU as well.
As an optimization, this avoids an extra smp_mb() in the default
barrier-only mode and an extra rseq preempt on the caller.
