13 * Allows the instruction cache to be flushed from userspace. Despite RISC-V
14 * having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to userspace (which we
15 * can't trap!), that's not actually viable when running on Linux because the
16 * kernel might schedule a process on another hart. There is no way for
17 * userspace to handle this without invoking the kernel (as it doesn't know the
18 * thread->hart mappings), so we've defined a RISC-V specific system call to
19 * flush the instruction cache.
21 * __NR_riscv_flush_icache is defined to flush the instruction cache over an
22 * address range, with the flush applying to either all threads or just the
23 * caller. We don't currently do anything with the address range, that's just
24 * in there for forwards compatibility.
