ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for user mappings
ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page(). However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr (index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless). Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics. With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
