Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] [PATCH 0/5] arch_topology: Build cacheinfo from primary CPU

v2:
 - Applied renaming/formatting comments from v1.
 - Check CACHE_TYPE_VALID flag in pppt.c.

Note:
This patchset requires the following patch to be applied first in
order to avoid the same bug described in the commit message:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221116094958.2141072-1-pierre.gondois@arm.com/

[1] and [2] build the CPU topology from the cacheinfo information for
both DT/ACPI based systems and remove (struct cpu_topology).llc_id
which was used by ACPI only.

Creating the cacheinfo for secondary CPUs is done during early boot.
Preemption and interrupts are disabled at this stage. On PREEMPT_RT
kernels, allocating memory (and parsing the PPTT table for ACPI based
systems) triggers a:
  'BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context' [4]

To prevent this bug, allocate the cacheinfo from the primary CPU when
preemption and interrupts are enabled and before booting secondary
CPUs. The cache levels/leaves are computed from DT/ACPI PPTT information
only, without relying on the arm64 CLIDR_EL1 register.
If no cache information is found in the DT/ACPI PPTT, then fallback
to the current state, triggering [4] on PREEMPT_RT kernels.

Patches to update the arm64 device trees that have incomplete cacheinfo
(mostly for missing the 'cache-level' or 'cache-unified' property)
have been sent at [3].

Tested platforms:
- ACPI + PPTT: Ampere Altra, Ampere eMAG, Cavium ThunderX2,
  Kunpeng 920, Juno-r2
- DT: rb5, db845c, Juno-r2
