This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled riscv: Flush the instruction cache during SMP bringup to the 6.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: riscv-flush-the-instruction-cache-during-smp-bringup.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a1973fa43d40e50fc0245a8ca7bcd30e7dfddb5c Author: Samuel Holland <samuel.holland@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 26 21:49:42 2024 -0700 riscv: Flush the instruction cache during SMP bringup [ Upstream commit 58661a30f1bcc748475ffd9be6d2fc9e4e6be679 ] Instruction cache flush IPIs are sent only to CPUs in cpu_online_mask, so they will not target a CPU until it calls set_cpu_online() earlier in smp_callin(). As a result, if instruction memory is modified between the CPU coming out of reset and that point, then its instruction cache may contain stale data. Therefore, the instruction cache must be flushed after the set_cpu_online() synchronization point.
