[PATCH v4 0/6] arch_topology: Build cacheinfo from primary CPU

[Pierre Gondois]

v2:
 - Applied renaming/formatting comments from v1.
 - Check CACHE_TYPE_VALID flag in pppt.c.
v3:
 - Applied Sudeep's suggestions (for patch 5/5):
   - Renaming allocate_cache_info() -> fecth_cache_info()
   - Updated error message
   - Extract an inline allocate_cache_info() function
 - Re-run checkpatch with --strict option
v4:
 - Remove RISC-V's implementation of init_cache_level() as not
   necessary.
 - Add patch: 'cacheinfo: Check 'cache-unified' property to count
   cache leaves' to increase the number of leaves at a cache level
   when no cache-size property is found.
 - In cacheinfo: Use RISC-V's init_cache_level() [...],
   make 'levels', 'leaves' and 'level' unsigned int to match
   of_property_read_u32()'s parameters signedness.

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@xxxxxxx/

[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
