H A Dsmp_plat.hdiff 85848dd7ab75fce1134856228582a8df522c91d9 Mon Sep 13 16:58:37 CEST 2010 Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> ARM: 6381/1: Use lazy cache flushing on ARMv7 SMP systems

ARMv7 processors like Cortex-A9 broadcast the cache maintenance
operations in hardware. This patch allows the
flush_dcache_page/update_mmu_cache pair to work in lazy flushing mode
similar to the UP case.

Note that cache flushing on SMP systems now takes place via the
set_pte_at() call (__sync_icache_dcache) and there is no race with other
CPUs executing code from the new PTE before the cache flushing took
place.
