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.
