[PATCH 2/2] riscv: Fix text patching when IPI are used

Wed Feb 28 09:51:49 PST 2024


For now, we use stop_machine() to patch the text and when we use IPIs for
remote icache flushes (which is emitted in patch_text_nosync()), the system
hangs.

So instead, make sure every cpu executes the stop_machine() patching
function and emit a local icache flush there.
