+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The '``llvm.clear_cache``' intrinsic ensures visibility of modifications
+in the specified range to the execution unit of the processor. On
+targets with non-unified instruction and data cache, the implementation
+flushes the instruction cache.
+
+Semantics:
+""""""""""
+
+On platforms with coherent instruction and data caches (e.g. x86), this
+intrinsic is a nop. On platforms with non-coherent instruction and data
+cache (e.g. ARM, MIPS), the intrinsic is lowered either to appropiate
+instructions or a system call, if cache flushing requires special
+privileges.
+
+The default behavior is to emit a call to ``__clear_cache`` from the run
+time library.
+
+This instrinsic does *not* empty the instruction pipeline. Modifications
+of the current function are outside the scope of the intrinsic.
