C-SKY MMU would pre-fetch invalid pte entries, and it could work with
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault, but the additional page fault exceptions
would reduce performance. So flushing the entry of the TLB would prevent
the following spurious page faults. Here is the test code:
define DATA_LEN 4096
define COPY_NUM (504*100)
unsigned char src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char func_src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char func_dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
void main(void)
{
int j;
for (j = 0; j < COPY_NUM; j++)
memcpy(&dst[j*DATA_LEN], &src[j*DATA_LEN], 4);
}
perf stat -e page-faults ./main.elf
The amount of page fault traps would be reduced in half with the patch.

The function update_mmu_cache could be called by user-io mapping.
There is no space of struct page in mem_map for the pte. Just
ignore the user-io mmaping in update_mmu_cache.

Some CPUs don't support icache.va instruction to maintain the whole
smp cores' icache. Using icache.all + IPI casue a lot on performace
and using defer mechanism could reduce the number of calling icache
_flush_all functions.

Instead of flushing cache per update_mmu_cache() called, we use
flush_dcache_page to reduce the frequency of flashing the cache.
As abiv2 cpus are all PIPT for icache & dcache, we needn't handle
dcache aliasing problem. But their icache can't snoop dcache, so
we still need sync_icache_dcache in update_mmu_cache().

The abiv2 CPUs are all PIPT cache, so there is no need to implement
flush_icache_page function.
The function flush_icache_user_range hasn't been used, so just
remove it.
The function flush_cache_range is not necessary for PIPT cache when
tlb mapping changed.

In our stress test, we found some crash problem caused by:
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
return;
in update_mmu_cache().
Seems current update_mmu_cache implementation is wrong and we retread
to the conservative implementation.
Also the usage of kmap_atomic in update_mmu_cache is risky, page-virtual
may be scheduled out and changed, so we must use preempt_disable &
pagefault_disable which is called by kmap_atomic().
