    powerpc/64: Fix flush_(d|i)cache_range() called from modules · 92f27aff

    commit 8f5f525d upstream.
    
    When the kernel is compiled to use 64bit ABIv2 the _GLOBAL() macro does
    not include a global entry point. A function's global entry point is
    used when the function is called from a different TOC context and in the
    kernel this typically means a call from a module into the vmlinux (or
    vice-versa).
    
    There are a few exported asm functions declared with _GLOBAL() and
    calling them from a module will likely crash the kernel since any TOC
    relative load will yield garbage.
    
    flush_icache_range() and flush_dcache_range() are both exported to
    modules, and use the TOC, so must use _GLOBAL_TOC().
