Subject: [PATCH v2 00/16] Tidy up cache.S
Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 08:51:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210517075124.152151-1-tabba@google.com> (raw)

Hi,

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Apply ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE errata to swsusp_arch_suspend_exit (Mark)
- Remove toggling of uaccess from the newly created cache flush
  (clean/invalidate) macro and leave it up to the caller (Robin)
- Fix renaming of cache maintenance functions (Ard, Mark)
- Fix comment on maintenance operations in machine_kexec_post_load (Ard)
- Fix commit msg comments to clarify some of the changes and outline potential
  performance impact (Mark)
- Fix code comments that refer to flush_icache_range when the intended function
  is __flush_icache_range

As has been noted before [2], the code in cache.S isn't very tidy. Some of its
functions accept address ranges by start and size, whereas others with similar
names do so by start and end. This has resulted in at least one bug [3].

Moreover, invalidate_icache_range and __flush_icache_range toggle uaccess,
which isn't necessary because they work on the kernel linear map [4].

This patch series attempts to fix these issues, as well as tidy up the code in
general to reduce ambiguity and make it consistent with Arm terminology and
with the functions' actual operations.

No functional change intended in this series. However, there might be a
performance impact due to the reduced number of instructions in general.

This series is based on v5.13-rc1. You can find the applied series here [5].

Cheers,
/fuad
