      arm64: dts: rockchip: Add cache information to the SoC dtsi for RK356x · 8612169a
      Dragan Simic authored 
      Add missing cache information to the Rockchip RK356x SoC dtsi, to allow
the userspace, which includes lscpu(1) that uses the virtual files provided
by the kernel under the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory, to display the
proper RK3566 and RK3568 cache information.

Adding the cache information to the RK356x SoC dtsi also makes the following
warning message in the kernel log go away:

  cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0

The cache parameters for the RK356x dtsi were obtained and partially derived
by hand from the cache size and layout specifications found in the following
datasheets and technical reference manuals:

  - Rockchip RK3566 datasheet, version 1.1
  - Rockchip RK3568 datasheet, version 1.3
  - ARM Cortex-A55 revision r1p0 TRM, version 0100-00
  - ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit revision r4p0 TRM, version 0400-02

For future reference, here's a rather detailed summary of the documentation,
which applies to both Rockchip RK3566 and RK3568 SoCs:

  - All caches employ the 64-byte cache line length
  - Each Cortex-A55 core has 32 KB of L1 4-way, set-associative instruction
    cache and 32 KB of L1 4-way, set-associative data cache
  - There are no L2 caches, which are per-core and private in Cortex-A55,
    because it belongs to the ARM DynamIQ IP core lineup
  - The entire SoC has 512 KB of unified L3 16-way, set-associative cache,
    which is shared among all four Cortex-A55 CPU cores
  - Cortex-A55 cores can be configured without private per-core L2 caches,
    in which case the shared L3 cache appears to them as an L2 cache;  this
    is the case for the RK356x SoCs, so let's use "cache-level = <2>" to
    prevent the "huh, no L2 caches, but an L3 cache?" confusion among the
    users viewing the data presented to the userspace;  another option could
    be to have additional 0 KB L2 caches defined, which may be technically
    correct, but would probably be even more confusing

      arm64: dts: rockchip: Add cache information to the SoC dtsi for RK3328 · 67a6a985
      Dragan Simic authored 
      Add missing cache information to the Rockchip RK3328 SoC dtsi, to allow
the userspace, which includes lscpu(1) that uses the virtual files provided
by the kernel under the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory, to display the
proper RK3328 cache information.

While there, use a more self-descriptive label for the L2 cache node, which
also makes it more consistent with other SoC dtsi files.

The cache parameters for the RK3328 dtsi were obtained and partially derived
by hand from the cache size and layout specifications found in the following
datasheets, official vendor websites, and technical reference manuals:

  - Rockchip RK3328 datasheet, version 1.4
  - https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_RK3328, accessed on 2024-02-28
  - ARM Cortex-A53 revision r0p3 TRM, version E

For future reference, here's a brief summary of the documentation:

  - All caches employ the 64-byte cache line length
  - Each Cortex-A53 core has 32 KB of L1 2-way, set-associative instruction
    cache and 32 KB of L1 4-way, set-associative data cache
  - The entire SoC has 256 KB of unified L2 16-way, set-associative cache

The RK3328 SoC dtsi is also used for the single RK3318-based supported board.
Unfortunately, no datasheet is available for the RK3318, but some unofficial
sources state that its L2 cache size is the same as RK3328's, so it's perhaps
safe to assume the same for the L1 instruction and data cache sizes.

      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
   5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
   non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.

 - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
   memory encryption enabled.

 - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
   to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
   comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
   result prevents updating the MSR.

 - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration
   to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology
   code.

 - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a
   fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology
   functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver
   code at all.

 - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs
   are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
   code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
   enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.

 - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
   copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
   boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
   crashes.

 - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
   guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.

 - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another
   kmemleak false positive

 - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for
   setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel.

 - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units.

 - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig
