From 8cb3451b1f240ec4d36a9bfcd39cb6d59769a5b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 14:08:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: entry: Remove confusing comment The comment about SYS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE relying on ERET being context-synchronizing is confusing and misplaced with kpti. Given that this is already documented under Documentation/ (see arch-support.txt for membarrier), remove the comment altogether.
