[PATCH v2 0/2] sparc64: D-cache alias flushing fixes

From: Imre Kaloz

Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 10:08:08 EST


Two fixes to D-cache alias flushing on sparc64 CPUs with a virtually
indexed L1 D-cache.

Patch 1 makes move_pte() and tlb_batch_add() flush only the page a PTE
maps, instead of every page of its folio once per PTE, so the number
of cross-calls for an mremap() of a large folio no longer grows with
the square of its size.

Patch 2 implements flush_cache_vmap() and flush_cache_vunmap(), which
have been no-ops on sparc64. Stale lines left by a vmalloc mapping
corrupt BPF programs and module data on UltraSPARC III. It uses
flush_dcache_page_all() as patch 1 restores it.

Both patches are tagged for stable. Tested on a Sun Ultra 45.

Changes in v2:
- Patch 2: flush_cache_vmap() also runs on the vmemmap, from
sparse_init() before init_IRQ() sets up the cross-call mondo
blocks; skip addresses outside vmalloc and module space, since the
vmemmap has no aliases to flush. Picked up Stian Halseth's
Tested-by.

Imre Kaloz (2):
sparc64: flush only the aliased page, not its whole folio
sparc64: flush vmalloc ranges from the D-cache on map and unmap
