The one obvious thing SH and ARM want is a sensible default for tlb_start_vma(). (also: https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/15/6 ) Avoid all VIPT architectures providing their own tlb_start_vma() implementation and rely on architectures to provide a no-op flush_cache_range() when it is not relevant. This patch makes tlb_start_vma() default to flush_cache_range(), which should be right and sufficient. The only exceptions that I found where (oddly): - m68k-mmu - sparc64 - unicore Those architectures appear to have flush_cache_range(), but their current tlb_start_vma() does not call it. No change in behavior intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
