I've done hardly any work on kernels before; would it be possible to make such a major change in the fly?

- saagarjha 6y agoI have not looked at the implementation, but I’m sure you could come up with a scheme that checked a flag on context switch and choose to clear the cache or not, which would mean you could ensure it takes effect the very next switch. In practice there may be practical or complexity constraints that would prevent this.
