* armv7: cache maintenance operations for armv7Aneesh V2011-07-04-0/+56
- Add a framework for layered cache maintenance - separate out SOC specific outer cache maintenance from maintenance of caches known to CPU - Add generic ARMv7 cache maintenance operations that affect all caches known to ARMv7 CPUs. For instance in Cortex-A8 these opertions will affect both L1 and L2 caches. In Cortex-A9 these will affect only L1 cache - D-cache operations supported: - Invalidate entire D-cache - Invalidate D-cache range - Flush(clean & invalidate) entire D-cache - Flush D-cache range - I-cache operations supported: - Invalidate entire I-cache - Add maintenance functions for TLB, branch predictor array etc. - Enable -march=armv7-a so that armv7 assembly instructions can be used Signed-off-by: Aneesh V <aneesh@ti.com>
