flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region. It deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of page tables. This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by page tables. However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page tables for them (see paging_init()). This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the data cache is operating in WriteBack mode. To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any range in the page table mapped area. Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and kgdb malfunction. It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the page table mapped area only.
