[PATCH] SPARC64: Fix D-cache corruption in mremap
If we move a mapping from one virtual address to another, and this changes the virtual color of the mapping to those pages, we can see corrupt data due to D-cache aliasing. Check for and deal with this by overriding the move_pte() macro. Set things up so that other platforms can cleanly override the move_pte() macro too. This long standing bug corrupts user memory, and in particular has been notorious for corrupting Debian package database files on sparc64 boxes. Signed-off-by: David S.
