Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: purge all the prefetched instructions for the coherent icache flush
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:30:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377135035-4497-1-git-send-email-haokexin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130821114915.GC32546@pek-khao-d1.corp.ad.wrs.com>
As Benjamin Herrenschmidt has indicated, we still need a dummy icbi to
purge all the prefetched instructions from the ifetch buffers for the
snooping icache. We also need a sync before the icbi to order the
actual stores to memory that might have modified instructions with
the icbi.
