Andy Lutomirski 2ecedd7569 membarrier: Add an actual barrier before rseq_preempt()
It seems that most RSEQ membarrier users will expect any stores done before
the membarrier() syscall to be visible to the target task(s).  While this
is extremely likely to be true in practice, nothing actually guarantees it
by a strict reading of the x86 manuals.  Rather than providing this
guarantee by accident and potentially causing a problem down the road, just
add an explicit barrier.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
