commit 3522340199cc060b70f0094e3039bdb43c3f6ee1 upstream
fetch_cache_info() tries to get the number of cache leaves/levels
for each CPU in order to pre-allocate memory for cacheinfo struct.
Allocating this memory later triggers a:
'BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context'
in PREEMPT_RT kernels.
If there is no cache related information available in DT or ACPI,
fetch_cache_info() fails and an error message is printed:
'Early cacheinfo failed, ret = ...'
Not having cache information should be a valid configuration.
Remove the error message if fetch_cache_info() fails with -ENOENT.

How come this now needs a backport? Did the rest of the series get
backported, but not this one since it has no fixes tag?
Humm, indeed, this has been present in v6.3.2 since I requested it to be
included. The error that I saw this morning was not -ENOENT, but -EINVAL.
With those patches applied, no more -EINVAL:
cacheinfo: Allow early level detection when DT/ACPI info is missing/broken
cacheinfo: Add arm64 early level initializer implementation
cacheinfo: Add arch specific early level initializer
cacheinfo: Add use_arch[|_cache]_info field/function
I will submit those shortly unless we think they better not be in 6.3, in
which case it would be nice to silence those -EINVAL errors.
I prefer this option instead of back porting all the above 4 as there are
some pending fixes for the issues found in those patches. I am fine if Greg
is happy with the backport, so no strong rejection from my side :).
