[PATCH 3.12 006/182] arm64: Do not synchronise I and D caches for special ptes

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 71fdb6bf61bf0692f004f9daf5650392c0cfe300 upstream.

Special pte mappings are not intended to be executable and do not even
have an associated struct page. This patch ensures that we do not call
__sync_icache_dcache() on such ptes.
