	RISC-V uses xRET instructions on return from interrupt and to go back to user-space; the xRET instruction is not core serializing. Use FENCE.I for providing core serialization as follows: - by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf. ipi_sync_core()), - via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning to user-space. On RISC-V, the serialization in switch_mm() is activated by resetting the icache_stale_mask of the mm at prepare_sync_core_cmd().

2024-02-15	membarrier: riscv: Add full memory barrier in switch_mm()	Andrea Parri
	The membarrier system call requires a full memory barrier after storing to rq->curr, before going back to user-space. The barrier is only needed when switching between processes: the barrier is implied by mmdrop() when switching from kernel to userspace, and it's not needed when switching from userspace to kernel. Rely on the feature/mechanism ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_CALLBACKS and on the primitive membarrier_arch_switch_mm(), already adopted by the PowerPC architecture, to insert the required barrier.
