2014-10-09arm64: mm: enable RCU fast_gupSteve Capper
Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM64. We also need to force THP splits to broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable performance degradation. Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

2014-07-04arm64: mm: Make icache synchronisation logic huge page awareSteve Capper
The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache data residing further on in a hugetlb page. This patch addresses this issue by taking into consideration the order of the page when flushing the dcache.

2013-06-07arm64: Remove __flush_dcache_page()Catalin Marinas
This function is only used in __sync_icache_dcache(), so remove it and call __flush_dcache_area() directly. The flush_icache_user_range() function is not used in the arm64 kernel.

2013-06-07arm64: Do not flush the D-cache for anonymous pagesCatalin Marinas
The D-cache on AArch64 is VIPT non-aliasing, so there is no need to flush it for anonymous pages. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2013-06-07arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()Catalin Marinas
The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure the I-D cache coherency).

2012-11-23arm64: Convert empty flush_cache_{mm,page} functions to static inlineCatalin Marinas
These functions are empty, just make them static inline in the header. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-09-17arm64: Cache maintenance routinesCatalin Marinas
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64 architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
