ARM CPUs with speculative prefetching have undefined behaviors when the same physical page is mapped to two different virtual addresses with conflicting cache attributes. since many recent systems include IOMMU functionality (i.e., remapping of discontiguous physical pages into a virtually-contiguous address range for I/O devices), it is desirable to support allocating any available OS memory for use by the I/O devices. however, since many systems do not support cache coherency between the CPU and DMA devices, these devices are left with using DMA-coherent allocations from the OS (which severely limits the benefit of an IOMMU) or performing cache maintenance (which can be a severe performance loss, particularly on systems with outer caches, compared to using DMA-coherent memory). this change adds an API for allocating pages from the OS with specific cache maintenance properties and ensures that the kernel's mapping of the page reflects the desired cache attributes, in line with the ARMv7 architectural requirements Change-Id: If0bd3cfe339b9a9b10fd6d45a748cd5e65931cf0 Signed-off-by: Gary King <gking@nvidia.com>
