[PATCH v3 14/21] x86/clear_page: add clear_pages_incoherent()

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

 



Expose incoherent clearing primitives (clear_pages_movnt(),
clear_pages_clzero()) as alternatives via clear_pages_incoherent().

Fallback to clear_pages() if, X86_FEATURE_MOVNT_SLOW is set and
the CPU does not have X86_FEATURE_CLZERO.

Both these primitives use weakly-ordered stores. To ensure that
callers don't mix accesses to different types of address_spaces,
annotate clear_user_pages_incoherent(), and clear_pages_incoherent()
as taking __incoherent pointers as arguments.

Also add clear_page_make_coherent() which provides the necessary
store fence to make access to these __incoherent regions safe.
