From 862c588f062fe9339a180cf6429e4df1855c376a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 17:48:11 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7660/1: tlb: add branch predictor maintenance operations The ARM architecture requires explicit branch predictor maintenance when updating an instruction stream for a given virtual address. In reality, this isn't so much of a burden because the branch predictor is flushed during the cache maintenance required to make the new instructions visible to the I-side of the processor. However, there are still some cases where explicit flushing is required, so add a local_bp_flush_all operation to deal with this.
