Commit c97bf629963e ("riscv: Fix text patching when IPI are used")
converted ftrace_make_nop() to use patch_insn_write() which does not
emit any icache flush relying entirely on __ftrace_modify_code() to do
that.
But we missed that ftrace_make_nop() was called very early directly when
converting mcount calls into nops (actually on riscv it converts 2B nops
emitted by the compiler into 4B nops).
This caused crashes on multiple HW as reported by Conor and Björn since
the booting core could have half-patched instructions in its icache
which would trigger an illegal instruction trap: fix this by emitting a
local flush icache when early patching nops.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
