Cover letter [PATCH v4 0/2] arm64: change PoC D-cache flush to PoU
For keeping I and D coherent, dcache flush till PoU(Point of Unification) should be sufficient instead of doing till PoC(Point of coherence). In SoC with more levels of cache, there could be a performance hit in doing flush till PoC as __flush_dcache_area does both flush and invalidate. Introduced new API __clean_dcache_area_pou which does only clean till PoU.
Also deferred dcache flush in __cpu_copy_user_page to __sync_icache_dcache.
changes since v3 [3]:
* Moved dcache_by_line_op macro from cache.S to proc-macros.S as per Will Deacon's review comment.
* Amended patch 2/2 commit log as per Catalin's review comment.
changes since v2 [2]:
Incorporated Mark Rutland's review comments of
* fixing comments
* creating a helper function for __sync_icache_dcache.
changes since v1 [1]:
Incorporated Mark Rutland's review comments of
* renaming __flush_dcache_area_pou to __clean_dcache_area_pou
* using inner shareable domain for dsb in __clean_dcache_area_pou
* having a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and __clean_dcache_area_pou.
Thanks,
Ashok
