x86: add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() to x2apic flush tlb paths
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers

Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.

x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.

Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.
