Jeremy Linton 582b468bdc drivers: base cacheinfo: Add support for ACPI based firmware tables
Call ACPI cache parsing routines from base cacheinfo code if ACPI
is enabled. Also stub out cache_setup_acpi and acpi_find_last_cache_level
so that individual architectures can enable ACPI topology parsing.

Jeremy Linton 9b97387c5c cacheinfo: rename of_node to fw_token
Rename and change the type of of_node to indicate
it is a generic pointer which is generally only used
for comparison purposes. In a later patch we will put
an ACPI/PPTT token pointer in fw_token so that
the code which builds the shared cpu masks can be reused.

Jeremy Linton 2ff075c7df drivers: base: cacheinfo: setup DT cache properties early
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.

Sudeep Holla f57ab9a01a drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix cache type for non-architected system cache
Commit dfea747d2a ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: support DT overrides for
cache properties") doesn't initialise the cache type if it's present
only in DT and the architecture is not aware of it. They are unified
system level cache which are generally transparent.

This patch check if the cache type is set to NOCACHE but the DT node
indicates that it's unified cache and sets the cache type accordingly.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 3282570990 driver core: Remove redundant license text
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.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 989d42e85d driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files
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.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Linus Torvalds eb254f323b Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of 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. So if
  push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will
  break ]

 longer than the 4.9-rc1 date, we held off on merging it earlier in order
 to feel more comfortable about it.
 
 Other than that, it's just a handful of small other patches, some good
 cleanups to the mess that is the firmware class code, and we have a test
 driver for the deferred probe logic.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Sudeep Holla dfea747d2a drivers: base: cacheinfo: support DT overrides for cache properties
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.

Sudeep Holla 55877ef45f drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix boot error message when acpi is enabled
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)

Sudeep Holla fac5148257 drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix x86 with CONFIG_OF enabled
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.

Fenghua Yu e9a2ea5a1b cacheinfo: Introduce cache id
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.

Sudeep Holla 8a7d95f95c drivers/base: cacheinfo: validate device node for all the caches
On architectures that depend on DT for obtaining cache hierarcy, we need
to validate the device node for all the cache indices, failing to do so
might result in wrong information being exposed to the userspace.

This is quite possible on initial/incomplete versions of the device
trees. In such cases, it's better to bail out if all the required device
nodes are not present.

This patch adds checks for the validation of device node for all the
caches and doesn't initialise the cacheinfo if there's any error.

Sudeep Holla 246246cbde drivers: base: support cpu cache information interface to userspace via sysfs
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.
