powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages

From: David Gibson
Date: Thu Dec 08 2005 - 22:21:11 EST


Andrew, Paulus, please apply and forward upstream. This is a real bug
(though a rarely triggered one) and should be fixed before 2.6.15.

On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.

We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.

Tested on G5
