[PATCH 8/8] KVM: PPC: Add cache flush on page map

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When we map a page that wasn't icache cleared before, do so when first
mapping it in KVM using the same information bits as the Linux mapping
logic. That way we are 100% sure that any page we map does not have stale
entries in the icache.

What we really would need is a method to flush the icache only when we
actually map a page executable for the guest. But with the current
abstraction that is hard to do, and this way we don't have a huge performance
penalty, so better be safe now and micro optimize things later.
