sparc32: use flushi when run-time patching in per_cpu_patch
Davis S. Miller wrote:
"
The way we do that now is overkill. We only needed to use the MMU
cache ops when we had sun4c around because sun4c lacked support for
the "flush" instruction.
But all sun4m and later chips have it so we can use it
unconditionally.
So in the per_cpu_patch() code, get rid of the cache ops invocation,
and instead execute a "flush %reg" after each of the instruction patch
assignments, where %reg is set to the address of the instruction that
was stored into.
Perhaps take the flushi() definition from asm/cacheflush_64.h and
place it into asm/cacheflush.h, then you can simply use that.
"
Implemented as per suggestion.
Moved run-time patching before we call paging_init(),
so helper methods in paging_init() may utilise run-time patching too.
