From b5b6c9e9149d8a7c3f1d7b9d0c046c6184e1dd17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 12:23:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page() The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure the I-D cache coherency).
