Catalin Marinas e6a5d66f58 [ARM] 4129/1: Add barriers after the TLB operations
The architecture specification states that TLB operations are
guaranteed to be complete only after the execution of a DSB (Data
Synchronisation Barrier, former Data Write Barrier or Drain Write
Buffer). The branch target cache invalidation is also needed. The ISB
(Instruction Synchronisation Barrier, formerly Prefetch Flush) is
needed unless there will be a return from exception before the
corresponding mapping is used (i.e. user mappings).

Catalin Marinas 6a0e243069 [ARM] 3352/1: DSB required for the completion of a TLB maintenance operation
Patch from Catalin Marinas

Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that
the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by
the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data
Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer).

Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions
since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching
back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
