arm/kvm: excise redundant cache maintenance
When modifying Stage-2 page tables, we perform cache maintenance to
account for non-coherent page table walks. However, this is unnecessary,
as page table walks are guaranteed to be coherent in the presence of the
virtualization extensions.
Per ARM DDI 0406C.c, section B1.7 ("The Virtualization Extensions"), the
virtualization extensions mandate the multiprocessing extensions.
Per ARM DDI 0406C.c, section B3.10.1 ("General TLB maintenance
requirements"), as described in the sub-section titled "TLB maintenance
operations and the memory order model", this maintenance is not required
in the presence of the multiprocessing extensions.
Hence, we need not perform this cache maintenance when modifying Stage-2
entries.
This patch removes the logic for performing the redundant maintenance.
To ensure visibility and ordering of updates, a dsb(ishst) that was
otherwise implicit in the maintenance is folded into kvm_set_pmd() and
kvm_set_pte().
