New invalidate/clean/flush_dcache functions

[Joakim Tjernlund]

[Resending again as it did not reach the list, is it me or problems with the list?]

How about adding new xxx_dcache_range() functions functions to PPC.
Below is my suggestion which is more logical and more efficient:


static inline void invalidate_dcache_region(void *adr, unsigned long len)
{
	if(len == 0) return;
	len = ((len-1) >> LG_L1_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) +1;
	do {
		asm  ("dcbi     0,%0" : : "r" (adr));
		adr += L1_CACHE_LINE_SIZE;
	} while(--len > 0);
}

static inline void clean_dcache_region(void *adr, unsigned long len)
{
	if(len == 0) return;
	len = ((len-1) >> LG_L1_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) +1;
	do {
		asm  ("dcbst     0,%0" : : "r" (adr));
		adr += L1_CACHE_LINE_SIZE;
	} while(--len > 0);
	asm  ("sync" : : );
}

static inline void flush_dcache_region(void *adr, unsigned long len)
{
	if(len == 0) return;
	len = ((len-1) >> LG_L1_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) +1;
	do {
		asm  ("dcbf     0,%0" : : "r" (adr));
		adr += L1_CACHE_LINE_SIZE;
	} while(--len > 0);
	asm  ("sync" : : );
}

int *ptr1;
char *ptr2;
void *ptr3;

main()
{
	unsigned long len1 = 1600;
	unsigned long len2 = 900;
	unsigned long len3 = 702;

	invalidate_dcache_region(ptr1, len1);
	clean_dcache_region(ptr2, len2);
	flush_dcache_region(ptr3, len3);
}
