Fuad Tabba fade9c2c6e arm64: Rename arm64-internal cache maintenance functions
Although naming across the codebase isn't that consistent, it
tends to follow certain patterns. Moreover, the term "flush"
isn't defined in the Arm Architecture reference manual, and might
be interpreted to mean clean, invalidate, or both for a cache.

Rename arm64-internal functions to make the naming internally
consistent, as well as making it consistent with the Arm ARM, by
specifying whether it applies to the instruction, data, or both
caches, whether the operation is a clean, invalidate, or both.
Also specify which point the operation applies to, i.e., to the
point of unification (PoU), coherency (PoC), or persistence
(PoP).

This commit applies the following sed transformation to all files
under arch/arm64:

"s/\b__flush_cache_range\b/caches_clean_inval_pou_macro/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_icache_range\b/caches_clean_inval_pou/g;"\
"s/\binvalidate_icache_range\b/icache_inval_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_dcache_area\b/dcache_clean_inval_poc/g;"\
"s/\b__inval_dcache_area\b/dcache_inval_poc/g;"\
"s/__clean_dcache_area_poc\b/dcache_clean_poc/g;"\
"s/\b__clean_dcache_area_pop\b/dcache_clean_pop/g;"\
"s/\b__clean_dcache_area_pou\b/dcache_clean_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_cache_user_range\b/caches_clean_inval_user_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_icache_all\b/icache_inval_all_pou/g;"

Note that __clean_dcache_area_poc is deliberately missing a word
boundary check at the beginning in order to match the efistub
symbols in image-vars.h.

Also note that, despite its name, __flush_icache_range operates
on both instruction and data caches. The name change here
reflects that.

No functional change 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.
