[PATCH] NOMMU: use copy_*_user_page() in access_process_vm()

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Wed Nov 25 2009 - 00:55:18 EST


From: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

The mmu code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm()
rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush. This is
important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with gdb.
So switch the nommu code over to do the same.
