This change continues the theme from prev commit - this time icache handling for kernel's own code modification (vmalloc: loadable modules, breakpoints for kprobes/kgdb...) flush_icache_range() calls the CDU icache helper with vaddr to enable exact line invalidate. For a true kernel-virtual mapping, the vaddr is actually virtual hence valid as index into cache. For kprobes breakpoint however, the vaddr arg is actually paddr - since that's how normal kernel is mapped in ARC memory map. This implies that CDU will use the same addr for indexing as for tag match - which is fine since kernel code would only have that "implicit" mapping and none other. This should speed up module loading significantly - specially on default ARC700 icache configurations (32k) which alias. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> |
