[PATCH 1/7] xen/arm32: head: Add missing isb in setup_fixmap()



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Per the Arm Arm (ARM DDI 0406C.d A3.8.3):

"The DMB and DSB memory barriers affect reads and writes to the memory
system generated by load/store instructions and data or unified cache
maintenance operations being executed by the processor. Instruction
fetches or accesses caused by a hardware translation table access are
not explicit accesses."

In setup_fixmap(), we write the fixmap area and may be used soon after,
for instance, to write to the UART. IOW, there could be hardware
translation table access. So we need to ensure the 'dsb' has completed
before continuing. Therefore add an 'isb'.

Fixes: e79999e587d7 ("xen/arm32: head: Remove 1:1 mapping as soon as it is not 
used")
