[PATCH v2 0/6] powerpc: convert cache asm to C

From: Alastair D'Silva
Date: Tue Sep 03 2019 - 01:24:56 EST


From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This series addresses a few issues discovered in how we flush caches:
1. Flushes were truncated at 4GB, so larger flushes were incorrect.
2. Flushing the dcache in arch_add_memory was unnecessary

This series also converts much of the cache assembler to C, with the
aim of making it easier to maintain.

Alastair D'Silva (6):
powerpc: Allow flush_icache_range to work across ranges >4GB
powerpc: define helpers to get L1 icache sizes
powerpc: Convert flush_icache_range & friends to C
powerpc: Chunk calls to flush_dcache_range in arch_*_memory
powerpc: Remove 'extern' from func prototypes in cache headers
powerpc: Don't flush caches when adding memory

Changelog:
V2:
- Replace C implementation of flush_dcache_icache_phys() with
inline assembler authored by Christophe Leroy
- Add memory clobbers for iccci implementation
- Give __flush_dcache_icache a real implementation, it can't
just be a wrapper around flush_icache_range()
- Remove PPC64_CACHES from misc_64.S
- Replace code duplicating clean_dcache_range() in
flush_icache_range() with a call to clean_dcache_range()
- Replace #ifdef CONFIG_44x with IS_ENABLED(...) in
flush_icache_cange()
- Use 1GB chunks instead of 16GB in arch_*_memory
