During boot we may patch instructions (e.g. for alternatives and jump labels), and these may be dirty at the PoU (and stale at the PoC). Thus, while the MMU is disabled in the KPTI pagetable fixup code we may load stale instructions into the I-cache, potentially leading to subsequent crashes when executing regions of code which have been modified at runtime. Similarly to commit: 8ec41987436d566f ("arm64: mm: ensure patched kernel text is fetched from PoU") ... we can invalidate the I-cache after enabling the MMU to prevent such issues. The KPTI pagetable fixup code itself should be clean to the PoC per the boot protocol, so no maintenance is required for this code.
