[PATCH] arm64: Add L2 cache topology to ARM Ltd boards/models

[PATCH] arm64: Add L2 cache topology to ARM Ltd boards/models

[Sudeep Holla]

Commit 5d425c18653731af6 ("arm64: kernel: add support for cpu cache
information") adds cacheinfo support for ARM64. Since there's no
architectural way of detecting the cpus that share particular cache,
device tree can be used and the core cacheinfo already supports the
same.

This patch adds the L2 cache topology on Juno board, FVP/RTSM and
foundation models.

Hi Arnd/Olof,

Though this patch and commit 5d425c18653731af6 ("arm64: kernel: add
support for cpu cache information") which is in -next(via arm64) are
dependent to provide desired functionality, then can go indepedently
if you think there could be conflicts if this change is taken via arm64.
If not, Catalin can pick up with your acks after the review.

Regards,
Sudeep

I think it would be better to take this through arm-soc. It's not
extremely likely to cause conflicts, but as you say there are no
strict dependencies on which goes in first, so there is no harm
in merging them separately.

I think this patch got missed for -rc1. The arm64 architectural
support patch for cacheinfo got merged via arm64 tree. It would be good
if this is also merged so that cache information can be exposed
to the user-space on ARM Ltd boards.

Ah, bummer. I've applied this one as a fix for 4.0 because I said we'd
take it and dropped the ball on it.

This still leaves the possibility that misleading information is exposed
for systems from other vendors. I've made a quick attempt to Cc the
authors of other arm64 dts here.

Given that in the absence of these nodes we can't derive a complete view
of the cache hierarchy, shouldn't we only expose the cacheinfo when we
have these nodes and can therefore produce correct values?

I can imagine that future dts are likely to appear without these nodes,
and I imagine that we won't spot all of those cases. We also have
existing DTBs to take into account.

Thanks,
Mark.

I'm still rather concerned about exposing misleading cache info in this
manner. Is there no way we can limit the exposure of this information to
those cases where we actually have the information?

Do we know if/how this will work for ACPI systems?

Thanks,
Mark.

The shared cache(s) cpu map information (DT) is retrieved in core code, your
concern is valid but should be addressed in a way that does not break
other archs (eg totally removing cache info if missing DT cache nodes).

Yes, there will be bindings, as for the how, that's not publicly
available information.

Yes I have a patch to check all the device nodes in the cache hierarchy
before initializing the sysfs. So cacheinfo won't be setup if all the
device nodes aren't found(at-least on architecture like ARM/ARM64 which
depends on DT). I will post it soon, was waiting for a week so that it's
not lost during merge window.

It should be similar to DT i.e. the hierarchy must be completely
detected through ACPI tables/methods, but I have not thought of
implementation specifics yet.

Great, that's exactly what I was hoping for!
