[PULL 19/28] KVM: arm/arm64: Only clean the dcache on translation fault

From: Christoffer Dall <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-31 09:34:58
Also in: kvm, kvmarm
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine (kvm), the rest · Maintainers: Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds

From: Marc Zyngier <redacted>

The only case where we actually need to perform a dcache maintenance
is when we map the page for the first time, and subsequent permission
faults do not require cache maintenance. Let's make it conditional
on not being a permission fault (and thus a translation fault).
