[PATCH 5/7] xen/arm: pmap: Add missing ISB in arch_pmap_map()



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Per the Arm Arm, (Armv7 DDI406C.d A3.8.3 and Armv8 DDI 0487J.a B2.3.12):

"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."

Note that second sentence is not part of the newer Armv8 spec. But the
interpretation is not much different.

As the entry created by arch_pmap_map() will be used soon after
pmap_map() returns, we want to ensure the DSB in write_pte() has
completed. So add an ISB.

Fixes: 4f17357b52f6 ("xen/arm: add Persistent Map (PMAP) infrastructure")
