2019-01-22cacheinfo: Keep the old value if of_property_read_u32 failsHuacai Chen1-4/+2
Commit 448a5a552f336bd7b847b1951 ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: use OF property_read_u32 instead of get_property,read_number") makes cache size and number_of_sets be 0 if DT doesn't provide there values. I think this is unreasonable so make them keep the old values, which is the same as old kernels.

2018-10-05drivers: base: cacheinfo: Do not populate sysfs for unknown cache typesJeffrey Hugo1-0/+2
If a cache has an unknown type because neither the hardware nor the firmware told us, an entry in the sysfs tree will be made, but the type file will not be present. lscpu depends on the type file being present for every entry, and will error out without printing system information if lscpu cannot open the type file. Presenting information about a cache without indicating its type is not useful, therefore if we hit a cache with an unknown type, stop populating sysfs so that userspace has the maximum amount of useful information. This addresses the following lscpu error, which prevents any output. lscpu: cannot open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/type: No such file or directory Suggested-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeffrey Hugo <jhugo@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

get_property,read_number of_property_read_u32 searches for a property in a device node and read a 32-bit value from it. Instead of using of_get_property to get the property and then read 32-bit value using of_read_number, we can simplify it by using of_property_read_u32.

2018-05-17drivers: base: cacheinfo: setup DT cache properties earlyJeremy Linton1-36/+29
The original intent in cacheinfo was that an architecture specific populate_cache_leaves() would probe the hardware and then cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() and cache_override_properties() would provide firmware help to extend/expand upon what was probed. Arm64 was really the only architecture that was working this way, and with the removal of most of the hardware probing logic it became clear that it was possible to simplify the logic a bit. This patch combines the walk of the DT nodes with the code updating the cache size/line_size and nr_sets. cache_override_properties() (which was DT specific) is then removed. The result is that cacheinfo.of_node is no longer used as a temporary place to hold DT references for future calls that update cache properties. That change helps to clarify its one remaining use (matching cacheinfo nodes that represent shared caches) which will be used by the ACPI/PPTT code in the following patches.

2017-12-07driver core: Remove redundant license textGreg Kroah-Hartman1-12/+0
Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner: "This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache partitioning mechanism. The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is odd as well. We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the per package nature of this mechanism. In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all combinations of the hardware can be utilized. There are two ways of associating a cache partition: - Task A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache partition associated to the group. - CPU All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to which the CPU they are running on is associated with. That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes. The main expected user sare: - Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of the cash w/o disturbing others - Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads. - Latency sensitive enterprise workloads - In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side channel attacks" [ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I had more time. But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is _so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare.

2016-11-10drivers: base: cacheinfo: support DT overrides for cache propertiesSudeep Holla1-0/+121
Few architectures like x86, ia64 and s390 derive the cache topology and all the properties using a specific architected mechanism while some other architectures like powerpc all those information id derived from the device tree. On ARM, both the mechanism is used. While all the cache properties can be derived in a architected way, it needs to rely on device tree to get the cache topology information. However there are few platforms where this architected mechanism is broken and the device tree properties can be used to override these incorrect values. This patch adds support for overriding the cache properties values to the values specified in the device tree.

ARM64 enables both CONFIG_OF and CONFIG_ACPI and the firmware can pass both ACPI tables and the device tree. Based on the kernel parameter, one of the two will be chosen. If acpi is enabled, then device tree is not unflattened. Currently ARM64 platforms report: " Failed to find cpu0 device node Unable to detect cache hierarchy from DT for CPU 0 " which is incorrect when booting with ACPI. Also latest ACPI v6.1 has no support for cache properties/hierarchy. This patch adds check for unflattened device tree and also returns as "not supported" if ACPI is runtime enabled. It also removes the reference to DT from the error message as the cache hierarchy can be detected from the firmware(OF/DT/ACPI) Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2016-11-10drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix x86 with CONFIG_OF enabledSudeep Holla1-0/+3
With CONFIG_OF enabled on x86, we get the following error on boot: " Failed to find cpu0 device node Unable to detect cache hierarchy from DT for CPU 0 " and the cacheinfo fails to get populated in the corresponding sysfs entries. This is because cache_setup_of_node looks for of_node for setting up the shared cpu_map without checking that it's already populated in the architecture specific callback. In order to indicate that the shared cpu_map is already populated, this patch introduces a boolean `cpu_map_populated` in struct cpu_cacheinfo that can be used by the generic code to skip cache_shared_cpu_map_setup. This patch also sets that boolean for x86.

2016-10-27cacheinfo: Introduce cache idFenghua Yu1-0/+5
Cache management software needs an id for each instance of a cache of a particular type. The current cacheinfo structure does not provide any information about the underlying hardware so there is no way to expose it. Hardware with cache management features provides means (cpuid, enumeration etc.) to retrieve the hardware id of a particular cache instance. Cache instances which share hardware have the same hardware id. Add an 'id' field to struct cacheinfo to store this information. Expose this information under the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/ directory as well.

2014-11-07drivers: base: support cpu cache information interface to userspace via sysfsSudeep Holla1-0/+541
This patch adds initial support for providing processor cache information to userspace through sysfs interface. This is based on already existing implementations(x86, ia64, s390 and powerpc) and hence the interface is intended to be fully compatible. The main purpose of this generic support is to avoid further code duplication to support new architectures and also to unify all the existing different implementations. This implementation maintains the hierarchy of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology. Cache devices are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. The cache information is replicated per-cpu even if they are shared. A per-cpu array of cache information maintained is used mainly for sysfs-related book keeping. It also implements the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for enabling both kernel and user-space to discover the system's overall cache topology. This patch also add the missing ABI documentation for the cacheinfo sysfs interface already, which is well defined and widely used.
