Arnd submitted a patch, not sure what happened to it: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190304204826.2414365-1-arnd@arndb.de/ I think this boils down to whether set_pte_at() is allowed to be called from loadable modules. If yes, __sync_icache_dcache() needs exporting, otherwise Arnd's patch makes the relevant code built-in (and, if merged, I'm happy to revert the similar export on arm64). -- Catalin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
