* x86/cpu: Refactor sync_core() for readabilityRicardo Neri2020-07-271-24/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having #ifdef/#endif blocks inside sync_core() for X86_64 and X86_32, implement the new function iret_to_self() with two versions. In this manner, avoid having to use even more more #ifdef/#endif blocks when adding support for SERIALIZE in sync_core().

* x86/cpu: Relocate sync_core() to sync_core.hRicardo Neri2020-07-271-0/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having sync_core() in processor.h is problematic since it is not possible to check for hardware capabilities via the *cpu_has() family of macros. The latter needs the definitions in processor.h. It also looks more intuitive to relocate the function to sync_core.h. This changeset does not make changes in functionality.

* lockin/x86: Implement sync_core_before_usermode()Mathieu Desnoyers2018-02-051-0/+28
Ensure that a core serializing instruction is issued before returning to user-mode. x86 implements return to user-space through sysexit, sysrel, and sysretq, which are not core serializing.
