Hey Sudeep,
After applying this patch, the cache_type_info array looks like this.
static const struct cache_type_info cache_type_info[] = {
{
/*
* PowerPC Processor binding says the [di]-cache-*
* must be equal on unified caches, so just use
* d-cache properties.
*/
.name = "Unified",
.size_prop = "d-cache-size",
.line_size_props = { "d-cache-line-size",
"d-cache-block-size", },
.nr_sets_prop = "d-cache-sets",
},
{
.name = "Data",
.size_prop = "d-cache-size",
.line_size_props = { "d-cache-line-size",
"d-cache-block-size", },
.nr_sets_prop = "d-cache-sets",
},
{
.name = "Instruction",
.size_prop = "i-cache-size",
.line_size_props = { "i-cache-line-size",
"i-cache-block-size", },
.nr_sets_prop = "i-cache-sets",
},
};
and this function computes the the array index for any given cache type
define for PowerPC.
static inline int get_cacheinfo_idx(enum cache_type type)
{
if (type == CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED)
return 0;
else
return type;
}
These types are define in include/linux/cacheinfo.h as
enum cache_type {
CACHE_TYPE_NOCACHE = 0,
CACHE_TYPE_INST = BIT(0), ---> 1
CACHE_TYPE_DATA = BIT(1), ---> 2
CACHE_TYPE_SEPARATE = CACHE_TYPE_INST | CACHE_TYPE_DATA,
CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED = BIT(2),
};
When it is UNIFIED we return index 0, which is correct. But the index
for instruction and data cache seems to be swapped which wrong. This
will fetch invalid properties for any given cache type.
I have done some initial review and testing for this patch's impact on
PowerPC (ppc64 POWER specifically). I am trying to do some code clean-up
and re-arrangements. Will post out soon. Thanks !
Regards
Anshuman
