ARM: 5794/1: Flush the D-cache during copy_user_highpage()
The I and D caches for copy-on-write pages on processors with write-allocate caches become incoherent causing problems on application relying on CoW for text pages (dynamic linker relocating symbols in a text page). This patch flushes the D-cache for such pages. Cc: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
