Patch series "sort out the flush_icache_range mess", v2.
flush_icache_range is mostly used for kernel address, except for the
following cases:
- the nommu brk and mmap implementations
- the read_code helper that is only used for binfmt_flat,
binfmt_elf_fdpic, and binfmt_aout including the broken
ia32 compat version
- binfmt_flat itself
none of which really are used by a typical MMU enabled kernel, as a.out
can only be build for alpha and m68k to start with.
But strangely enough commit ae92ef8a44 ("PATCH] flush icache in
correct context") added a "set_fs(KERNEL_DS)" around the
flush_icache_range call in the module loader, because apparently m68k
assumed user pointers.
This series first cleans up the cacheflush implementations, largely by
switching as much as possible to the asm-generic version after a few
preparations, then moves the misnamed current flush_icache_user_range to
a new name, to finally introduce a real flush_icache_user_range to be
used for the above use cases to flush the instruction cache for a
userspace address range. The last patch then drops the set_fs in the
module code and moves it into the m68k implementation.
This patch (of 29):
The arguments passed look bogus, try to fix them to something that seems
to make sense.

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.
