OK, I looked at cacheflush and it can be used to flush the icache on all
CPUs, which is what I want. My current code sequence is more than that
however. Something like this:
CVMX_ICACHE_INVALIDATE;
CVMX_SYNC;
uint64_t tmp;
asm volatile (" la %0,10f\n"
" jr.hb %0\n"
" nop\n"
" 10:\n" : "=r" (tmp) : : "memory");
I can certainly modify cacheflush for my application so the extra hazard
clearing is done when icache is flushed. Is there any way to avoid that
and use existing kernel functionality?
