Subject: [PATCH 0/2] sparc64: D-cache alias flushing fixes
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 12:55:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927105539.8742-1-kaloz@kernel.org> (raw)
Two fixes to D-cache alias flushing on sparc64 CPUs with a virtually
indexed L1 D-cache.
Patch 1 makes move_pte() and tlb_batch_add() flush only the page a PTE
maps, instead of every page of its folio once per PTE, so the number
of cross-calls for an mremap() of a large folio no longer grows with
the square of its size.
Patch 2 implements flush_cache_vmap() and flush_cache_vunmap(), which
have been no-ops on sparc64. Stale lines left by a vmalloc mapping
corrupt BPF programs and module data on UltraSPARC III. It uses
flush_dcache_page_all() as patch 1 restores it.
Both patches are tagged for stable. Tested on a Sun Ultra 45.
Imre Kaloz (2):
sparc64: flush only the aliased page, not its whole folio
sparc64: flush vmalloc ranges from the D-cache on map and unmap
