[RFC] openrisc: Add cacheinfo support

From: Sahil Siddiq
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 15:14:42 EST


Add cacheinfo support for OpenRISC.

Currently, a few CPU cache attributes pertaining to OpenRISC processors
are exposed along with other unrelated CPU attributes in the procfs file
system (/proc/cpuinfo). However, a few cache attributes remain unexposed.
An attempt is also made to pull these CPU cache attributes without
detecting if the relevant cache exists.

This patch provides a mechanism that the generic cacheinfo infrastructure
can employ to expose these attributes via the sysfs file system. These
attributes are exposed in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/indexN.
Cache attributes are pulled only when the cache component is detected.

The implementation to pull cache attributes from the processor's
registers has been moved from arch/openrisc/kernel/setup.c with a few
modifications.

The patch also moves cache-related fields out of struct cpuinfo_or1k and
into its own struct to keep the implementation straightforward. This
reduces duplication of cache-related fields while keeping cpuinfo_or1k
extensible in case more cache descriptors are added in the future.

This implementation is based on similar work done for MIPS and LoongArch.

Before applying these changes, there is no "cache" directory in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0. After applying these changes, the
cache directory is present and has the following hierarchy.

~ # tree /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/

│ ├── size

│ └── ways_of_associativity
└── uevent

The newly implemented "init_cache_level()" pulls the cache details by
reading the processor's special registers as it was being done in
setup.c.

None of the functions in drivers/base/cacheinfo.c that are capable of
pulling these details (e.g.: cache_size) have been used. This is because
they pull these details by reading properties present in the device tree
file. In setup.c, for example, the value of "clock-frequency" is pulled
from the device tree file.

Cache related properties are currently not present in OpenRISC's device
tree files.

Regarding the "shared_cpu_map" cache attribute, I wasn't able to find
anything in the OpenRISC architecture manual to indicate that processors
in a multi-processor system may share the same cache component. MIPS uses
"globalnumber" to detect siblings. LoongArch uses a "CACHE_PRIVATE" flag
to detect siblings sharing the same cache.

I am running with the assumption that every OpenRISC core has its own
icache and dcache. Given that OpenRISC does not support a multi-level
cache architecture and that icache and dcache are like L1 caches, I
think this assumption is reasonable. What are your thoughts on this?

Another issue I noticed is that the unit used in ...cache/indexN/size
is KB. The actual value of the size is right-shifted by 10 before being
reported. When testing these changes using QEMU (and without making any
modifications to the values stored in DCCFGR and ICCFGR), the cache size
is far smaller than 1KB. Consequently, this is reported as 0K. For cache
sizes smaller than 1KB, should something be done to report it in another
unit? Reporting 0K seems a little misleading.

Thanks,
Sahil
