  19  * Options for cacheflush system call.
  20  *
  21  * The ICACHE flush is performed on all cores currently running the
  22  * current process's address space.  The intent is for user
  23  * applications to be able to modify code, invoke the system call,
  24  * then allow arbitrary other threads in the same address space to see
  25  * the newly-modified code.  Passing a length of CHIP_L1I_CACHE_SIZE()
  26  * or more invalidates the entire icache on all cores in the address
  27  * spaces.  (Note: currently this option invalidates the entire icache
  28  * regardless of the requested address and length, but we may choose
  29  * to honor the arguments at some point.)
  30  *
  31  * Flush and invalidation of memory can normally be performed with the
  32  * __insn_flush() and __insn_finv() instructions from userspace.
  33  * The DCACHE option to the system call allows userspace
  34  * to flush the entire L1+L2 data cache from the core.  In this case,
  35  * the address and length arguments are not used.  The DCACHE flush is
  36  * restricted to the current core, not all cores in the address space.
