arm64: alternatives: ensure secondary CPUs execute ISB after patching
In order to guarantee that the patched instruction stream is visible to a CPU, that CPU must execute an isb instruction after any related cache maintenance has completed. The instruction patching routines in kernel/insn.c get this right for things like jump labels and ftrace, but the alternatives patching omits it entirely leaving secondary cores in a potential limbo between the old and the new code. This patch adds an isb following the secondary polling loop in the altenatives patching. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
