Subject: [PATCH] linuxefi: Invalidate i-cache before starting the kernel
|
|
|
|
We need to flush the memory range of the code we are about to execute
|
|
from the instruction cache before we can safely execute it. Not doing
|
|
so appears to be the source of rare synchronous exceptions a user
|
|
is seeing on a Cortex-A72-based platform while executing the Linux EFI
|
|
stub. Notably they seem to correlate with an instruction on a cache
|
|
line boundary.
