Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: allow for a cache flush after ixol breakpoint creation
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 11:40:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481625657-22850-1-git-send-email-marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com> (raw)

Commit 72e6ae285a1d ('ARM: 8043/1: uprobes need icache flush after xol
write' has introduced an arch-specific method to ensure all caches are
flushed appropriately after an instruction is written to an XOL page.

However, when the XOL area is created and the out-of-line breakpoint
instruction is copied, caches are not flushed at all and stale data may
be found in icache.

Replace a simple copy_to_page() with arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() to allow
the arch to ensure all caches are updated accordingly.

This change fixes uprobes on MIPS InterAptiv (tested on Creator Ci40).
