Commit:
285a54efe3 ("x86/alternatives: Sync bp_patching update for avoiding NULL pointer exception")
added an additional text_poke_sync() IPI to text_poke_bp_batch() to
handle the rare case where another CPU is still inside an INT3 handler
while we clear the global state.
Instead of spraying IPIs around, count the active INT3 handlers and
wait for them to go away before proceeding to clear/reuse the data.

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 Restructured Text 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.
