[PATCH] ARM: cacheinfo fix format field mask
Posted by Dmitry Baryshkov 11 months ago 
Fix C&P error left unnoticed during the reviews. The FORMAT field spans
over bits 29-31, not 24-27 of the CTR register.

Fixes: a9ff94477836 ("ARM: 9433/2: implement cacheinfo support")
Reported-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/01515ea0-c6f0-479f-9da5-764d9ee79ed6@samsung.com/

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your patch!

Please add

    This causes a warning on e.g. Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9:

        WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/arm/kernel/cacheinfo.c:43
cache_line_size+0x84/0x94

so people find this patch when looking up the warning.

This fixes the warning on Cortex-A8/A9, so
Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

Note that this changes HWalign on Cortex-A9 (various Renesas SoCs,
with 1, 2, or 4 CPU cores):

    -SLUB: HWalign=64, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=<N>, Nodes=1
    +SLUB: HWalign=32, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=<N>, Nodes=1

On Cortex-A8 (BeagleBone Black, i.e. AM335x), it changes HWalign,
and causes a warning message:

    -SLUB: HWalign=64, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=1, Nodes=1
    +SLUB: HWalign=16, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=1, Nodes=1
     ...
    +cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

Also, has this been tested on CPUs that don't implement the cache type
register?

It returns -EOPNOTSUPP for anything <= v7 (or those v7-but-really-v6).
And those CPUs are required to implement the register.
