__flush_icache_range works on kernel addresses, and doesn't need uaccess. The existing code is a side-effect of its current implementation with __flush_cache_user_range fallthrough. Instead of fallthrough to share the code, use a common macro for the two where the caller specifies an optional fixup label if user access is needed. If provided, this label would be used to generate an extable entry. Simplify the code to use dcache_by_line_op, instead of replicating much of its functionality. No functional change intended. Possible performance impact due to the reduced number of instructions.

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.
