Before gcc 4.2, __builtin___clear_cache doesn't exist, and
afterward the gcc s390 backend implements it as nothing.

Does it means that instruction and data caches are coherent on s390?

Yes.

Principles of Operation, 2.1 Main storage:
# Main storage may include a faster-access buffer storage, sometimes called a cache.
# Each CPU may have an associated cache. The effects, except on  performance, of
# the physical construction and the use of distinct storage media are not observable
# by the program.

This architecture pre-dates caches, I think.  ;-)
