[llvm-dev] __clear_cache / clear_cache.c

[Nemanja Ivanovic via llvm-dev]

Jay, is this an answer to a question? If so, it's always best to leave the
original question in the email for context.

Otherwise, is this a request for a fix/feature in compiler-rt?
If so, it is probably best to start with a PR on bugs.llvm.org if it's a
bug, a patch on reviews.llvm.org if you're suggesting a change and/or an
RFC on this list to explain your reasoning if you feel that this change may
in some way be controversial or require input from the wider community.
