On the I-side, you hook into invalidate_icache_by_line, whereas on the D-side you hook into the callers of dcache_by_line_op. Why is that? I notice that the only user other than flush_icache_range/__flush_cache_user_range or invalidate_icache_by_line is in KVM, via invalidate_icache_range. If you want to hook in there, why aren't you also patching __flush_icache_all? If so, I'd rather have the I-side code consistent with the D-side code and do this in the handful of callers. We might even be able to elide a branch or two that way. I'm going to assume that I-cache aliases are all coherent if DIC=1, so it's safe to elide our alias sync code. Will

The DCache clean & ICache invalidation requirements for instructions to be data coherence are discoverable through new fields in CTR_EL0. The following two control bits DIC and IDC were defined for this purpose. No need to perform point of unification cache maintenance operations from software on systems where CPU caches are transparent. This patch optimize the three functions __flush_cache_user_range(), clean_dcache_area_pou() and invalidate_icache_range() if the hardware reports CTR_EL0.IDC and/or CTR_EL0.IDC. Basically it skips the two instructions 'DC CVAU' and 'IC IVAU', and the associated loop logic in order to avoid the unnecessary overhead. CTR_EL0.DIC: Instruction cache invalidation requirements for instruction to data coherence. The meaning of this bit[29]. 0: Instruction cache invalidation to the point of unification is required for instruction to data coherence. 1: Instruction cache cleaning to the point of unification is not required for instruction to data coherence. CTR_EL0.IDC: Data cache clean requirements for instruction to data coherence. The meaning of this bit[28]. 0: Data cache clean to the point of unification is required for instruction to data coherence, unless CLIDR_EL1.LoC == 0b000 or (CLIDR_EL1.LoUIS == 0b000 && CLIDR_EL1.LoUU == 0b000). 1: Data cache clean to the point of unification is not required for instruction to data coherence.
