19 * Options for cacheflush system call.
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.)
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.
