Ard Biesheuvel 4dbe44fb53 efi: capsule: clean scatter-gather entries from the D-cache
Scatter-gather lists passed to UpdateCapsule() should be cleaned
from the D-cache to ensure that they are visible to the CPU after a
warm reboot before the MMU is enabled. On ARM and arm64 systems, this
implies a D-cache clean by virtual address to the point of coherency.

However, due to the fact that the firmware itself is not able to map
physical addresses back to virtual addresses when running under the OS,
this must be done by the caller.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
