Before 58de77545e53 ("riscv: move flush_icache_{all,mm} to cacheflush.c"),
flush_icache_all was a macro, but it is used by a module:
ERROR: "flush_icache_all" [drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.ko] undefined!

NAK. There is no point to export a symbol that should not generally
exported just for a tester.
I think the right answer is to just don't allow a modular build of
lkdtm.

flush_icache_range() is what LKDTM uses (and has done so for years).

No -- several system builders use a modular build of lkdtm to allow
for testing of "production" kernels, and then do not include lkdtm.ko
in the final image (and that image is either protected by LoadPin or
module signing to keep stray modules from appearing).

Thanks, queued for v5.2-rc. Added a "Fixes" line:
Fixes: 58de77545e53 ("riscv: move flush_icache_{all,mm} to cacheflush.c")

Just discussing with Christoph now. Agree with him that the lkdtm module
is too niche, and in general we don't want modules calling
flush_icache_all(), so dropping this patch for now.

Fair enough. I'll remove the module from the openSUSE kernel.
