arm64: Remove I-cache invalidation from flush_cache_range() The flush_cache_range() function (similarly for flush_cache_page()) is called when the kernel is changing an existing VA->PA mapping range to either a new PA or to different attributes. Since ARMv8 has PIPT-like D-caches, this function does not need to perform any D-cache maintenance. The I-cache maintenance is already handled via set_pte_at() and flush_cache_range() cannot anyway guarantee that there are no cache lines left after invalidation due to the speculative loads. This patch makes flush_cache_range() a no-op. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
