Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] arm64: Use PoU cache instr for I/D coherency
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2015 04:56:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450184178-28257-3-git-send-email-ashoks@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1450184178-28257-1-git-send-email-ashoks@broadcom.com>

In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3),
PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect
performance.
For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice.
So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU.

Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU
and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and
__clean_dcache_area_pou.
