linux-stable.git/arch/arm/include/asm/cacheflush.h, branch v5.16.2

Add linux/cacheflush.h

2021-11-17T15:36:15+00:00

Many architectures do not include asm-generic/cacheflush.h, so turn
the includes on their head and add linux/cacheflush.h which includes
asm/cacheflush.h.

Move the flush_dcache_folio() declaration from asm-generic/cacheflush.h
to linux/cacheflush.h and change linux/highmem.h to include
linux/cacheflush.h instead of asm/cacheflush.h so that all necessary
places will see flush_dcache_folio().

More functions should have their default implementations moved in the
future, but those are for follow-on patches.  This fixes csky, sparc and
sparc64 which were missed in the commit which added flush_dcache_folio().

mm: Add flush_dcache_folio()

2021-10-18T11:49:36+00:00

This is a default implementation which calls flush_dcache_page() on
each page in the folio.  If architectures can do better, they should
implement their own version of it.

mm: remove flush_kernel_dcache_page

2021-09-03T16:58:13+00:00

flush_kernel_dcache_page is a rather confusing interface that implements a
subset of flush_dcache_page by not being able to properly handle page
cache mapped pages.

The only callers left are in the exec code as all other previous callers
were incorrect as they could have dealt with page cache pages.  Replace
the calls to flush_kernel_dcache_page with calls to flush_dcache_page,
which for all architectures does either exactly the same thing, can
contains one or more of the following:

 1) an optimization to defer the cache flush for page cache pages not
    mapped into userspace
 2) additional flushing for mapped page cache pages if cache aliases
    are possible

arm: rename flush_cache_user_range to flush_icache_user_range

2020-06-08T18:05:58+00:00

flush_icache_user_range will be the name for a generic primitive.  Move
the arm name so that arm already has an implementation.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm

2019-07-09T04:08:34+00:00

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Add a "cut here" to make it clearer where oops dumps should be cut
   from - we already have a marker for the end of the dumps.

 - Add logging severity to show_pte()

 - Drop unnecessary common-page-size linker flag

 - Errata workarounds for Cortex A12 857271, Cortex A17 857272 and
   Cortex A7 814220.

 - Remove some unused variables that had started to provoke a compiler
   warning.

ARM: 8864/1: Add workaround for I-Cache line size mismatch between CPU cores

2019-06-20T21:29:58+00:00

Some big.LITTLE systems have I-Cache line size mismatch between
LITTLE and big cores. This patch adds a workaround for proper I-Cache
support on such systems. Without it, some class of the userspace code
(typically self-modifying) might suffer from random SIGILL failures.

Similar workaround already exists for ARM64 architecture. I has been
added by commit 116c81f427ff ("arm64: Work around systems with mismatched
cache line sizes").

page cache: use xa_lock

2018-04-11T17:28:39+00:00

Remove the address_space ->tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to
the radix_tree_root.  Rename the address_space ->page_tree to ->i_pages,
since we don't really care that it's a tree.
