 # Rely on implicit context synchronization as a result of exception return
 # when returning from IPI handler, and when returning to user-space.
 #
+# * riscv
+#
+# riscv uses xRET as return from interrupt and to return to user-space.
+#
+# Given that xRET is not core serializing, we rely on FENCE.I for providing
+# core serialization:
+#
+#  - by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf.
+#    ipi_sync_core()),
+#
+#  - via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for
+#    uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning
+#    to user-space.
+#
+#  The serialization in switch_mm() is activated by prepare_sync_core_cmd().
+#
 # * x86
 #
 # x86-32 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
