[PATCH 0/1] x86: Quark: Enable correct cache size/type reporting

[Bryan O'Donoghue]

Quark X1000 lacks cpuid(4). It has cpuid(2) but returns no cache
descriptors we can work with i.e. cpuid(2) returns
eax=0x00000001 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000

Quark X1000 contains a 16k 4-way set associative unified L1 cache
with 256 sets

This patch emulates cpuid(4) in a similar way to other x86
processors like AMDs which don't support cpuid(4). The Quark code
is based on the existing AMD code.

Such initialization blocks are easier to read if they are 
vertically aligned:

	eax->split.num_cores_on_die		= 0;
	eax->split.num_threads_sharing		= 0;
	eax->split.is_fully_associative		= 0;
	eax->split.is_self_initializing		= 1;

Please keep it on a single line, don't break it if it makes the 
code worse, even if checkpatch complains.

Also, what happens with edx in the Quark case? It's filled in by 
the real cpuid4 I suppose.

Plus, the '== 5 && == 9' pattern has come up a couple of times 
already, please stick it into a x86_model_quark() helper inline, 
so it becomes self-documenting.

That line removal looks spurious.

This code isn't obvious and isn't explained.

This too needs a comment I guess - the /2 I suppose comes from 
splitting the size of the unified cache into two?

This looks like it would work, but I wonder if it would be a lot
simpler to do something like what we do in centaur_size_cache()
which is the other case I recall where we had to override
the CPUs definition of cache size.

Hi Dave.

It's working alright :)

My feeling is that we'll probably end up with less changes/new code 
taking the approach of quirking.

OTOH, if the Quark quirk is a .legacy_cache_size callback, it 
will be compiled out on 64-bit kernels. With your patch it's 
unconditional.

So Dave's suggestion makes sense.
