David S. Miller dadeafdfc8 [PATCH] sparc64: Reduce ptrace cache flushing
We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.

All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages().  That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.

Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:

1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
   color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.

Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.
