[PATCH v2 1/7] cacheinfo: Export get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() for loadable modules

From: Tony Luck

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 11:32:34 EST


From: Qiuxu Zhuo <qiuxu.zhuo@xxxxxxxxx>

get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() is a static inline that requires get_cpu_cacheinfo(),
which is not exported. Modules that need to identify which cache instance
a CPU belongs to therefore cannot use it.

Move it out of line and export it.
