Release 4.7 include/linux/prefetch.h

/*
 *  Generic cache management functions. Everything is arch-specific,  
 *  but this header exists to make sure the defines/functions can be

/*
        prefetch(x) attempts to pre-emptively get the memory pointed to
        by address "x" into the CPU L1 cache. 
        prefetch(x) should not cause any kind of exception, prefetch(0) is
        specifically ok.

        prefetch() should be defined by the architecture, if not, the 
        #define below provides a no-op define.  
        
        There are 3 prefetch() macros:
        
        prefetch(x)     - prefetches the cacheline at "x" for read
        prefetchw(x)    - prefetches the cacheline at "x" for write
        spin_lock_prefetch(x) - prefetches the spinlock *x for taking
        
        there is also PREFETCH_STRIDE which is the architecure-preferred 
        "lookahead" size for prefetching streamed operations.
