[PATCH v3 1/2] Introduce cpu_icache_is_aliasing() across all architectures

[PATCH v3 1/2] Introduce cpu_icache_is_aliasing() across all architectures

[Zi Yan]

In commit eacd0e950dc2 ("ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing
VIPT)"), arc adds the need to flush dcache to make icache see the code
page change. This also requires special handling for
clear_user_(high)page(). Introduce cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to make
MM code query special clear_user_(high)page() easier. This will be used
by the following commit.

[PATCH v3 2/2] mm: use clear_user_(high)page() for arch with special user folio handling

[Zi Yan]

For architectures setting cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to true, which require
flushing dcache, and arc setting cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to true changes
folio->flags to make icache coherent to dcache after clearing a user
folio, __GFP_ZERO using only clear_page() is not enough to zero user
folios and clear_user_(high)page() must be used. Otherwise, user data
will be corrupted.

Fix it by always clearing user folios with clear_user_(high)page() when
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is true or cpu_icache_is_aliasing() is true.
Rename alloc_zeroed() to alloc_need_zeroing() and invert the logic to
clarify its intend.

The sentence above is rather long and unclear, perhaps split it into
multiple simpler sentences to clarify the intent ?

Missing "." at the end of comment.

I suspect the () around "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() || cpu_icache_is_aliasing()"
is not needed.

We should probably use this new cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to gate
availability of DAX XIP, as described in the commit message here:

commit 8690bbcf3b ("Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures)"

     Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
     work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
     which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.

Thanks,

Mathieu
