2017-01-17arm64: cacheinfo: add support to override cache levels via device treeSudeep Holla1-1/+12
The cache hierarchy can be identified through Cache Level ID(CLIDR) architected system register. However in some cases it will provide only the number of cache levels that are integrated into the processor itself. In other words, it can't provide any information about the caches that are external and/or transparent. Some platforms require to export the information about all such external caches to the userspace applications via the sysfs interface. This patch adds support to override the cache levels using device tree to take such external non-architected caches into account.

2016-09-09arm64: simplify sysreg manipulationMark Rutland1-5/+3
A while back we added {read,write}_sysreg accessors to handle accesses to system registers, without the usual boilerplate asm volatile, temporary variable, etc. This patch makes use of these across arm64 to make code shorter and clearer. For sequences with a trailing ISB, the existing isb() macro is also used so that asm blocks can be removed entirely. A few uses of inline assembly for msr/mrs are left as-is. Those manipulating sp_el0 for the current thread_info value have special clobber requiremends.

2015-01-15arm64: kernel: add support for cpu cache informationSudeep Holla1-0/+128
This patch adds support for cacheinfo on ARM64. On ARMv8, the cache hierarchy can be identified through Cache Level ID (CLIDR) register while the cache geometry is provided by Cache Size ID (CCSIDR) register. Since the architecture doesn't provide any way of detecting the cpus sharing particular cache, device tree is used for the same purpose.
