In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:riscv: Fix IPIs usage in kfence_protect_page()flush_tlb_kernel_range() may use IPIs to flush the TLBs of all the
cores, which triggers the following warning when the irqs are disabled:[    3.455330] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/smp.c:815 smp_call_function_many_cond+0x452/0x520

deal with the faults which could happen when a core has an old protected
pte version cached in its TLB. That leads to potential inaccuracies which
can be tolerated when using kfence.
