From ae92ef8a442421356950a0a8dfdc35e8e783000e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Zippel Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 14:39:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] flush icache in correct context flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c & co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address space. First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough information to flush the correct data.
