[PATCH] arm64: ftrace: Ensure module ftrace trampoline is coherent with I-side

[PATCH] arm64: ftrace: Ensure module ftrace trampoline is coherent with I-side

[Will Deacon]

The initial support for dynamic ftrace trampolines in modules made use
of an indirect branch which loaded its target from the beginning of
a special section (e71a4e1bebaf7 ("arm64: ftrace: add support for far
branches to dynamic ftrace")). Since no instructions were being patched,
no cache maintenance was needed. However, later in be0f272bfc83 ("arm64:
ftrace: emit ftrace-mod.o contents through code") this code was reworked
to output the trampoline instructions directly into the PLT entry but,
unfortunately, the necessary cache maintenance was overlooked.

Add a call to __flush_icache_range() after writing the new trampoline
instructions but before patching in the branch to the trampoline.
