2011-05-25asm-generic/cacheflush.h: flush icache when copying to user pagesMike Frysinger
The copy_to_user_page() function is supposed to flush the icache on the memory that was written, but the current asm-generic version lacks that logic. While normally it isn't a big deal as the asm-generic version of icache flushing is a stub, it is a deal for ports that want to use the asm-generic version as a baseline and then overlay its own specific parts (like icache flushing).

2009-11-26block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's ↵Ilya Loginov
pages Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So, this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this. The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is equal 1 or do nothing otherwise. See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion on LKML for more information.

2009-06-11asm-generic: add generic NOMMU versions of some headersArnd Bergmann
Memory management in generic is highly architecture specific, but on NOMMU architectures, it is mostly trivial, so just add a default implementation in asm-generic that applies to all NOMMU architectures. The two files cache.h and cacheflush.h can possibly also be used by architectures that have an MMU but never require flushing the cache or have cache lines larger than 32 bytes.
