2010-10-04ARM: 6385/1: setup: detect aliasing I-cache when D-cache is non-aliasingWill Deacon
Currently, the Kernel assumes that if a CPU has a non-aliasing D-cache then the I-cache is also non-aliasing. This may not be true on ARM cores from v6 onwards, which may have aliasing I-caches but non-aliasing D-caches. This patch adds a cpu_has_aliasing_icache function, which is called from cacheid_init and adds CACHEID_VIPT_I_ALIASING to the cacheid when appropriate. A utility macro, icache_is_vipt_aliasing(), is also provided. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-09-25[ARM] Introduce new bitmask based cache type macrosRussell King
Rather than trying to (inaccurately) decode the cache type from the registers each time we need to decide what type of cache we have, use a bitmask initialized early during boot. Since the setup is a one-off initialization, we can be a little more clever and take account of the CPU architecture as well. Note that we continue to achieve the compactness on optimised kernels by forcing tests to always-false or always-true as appropriate, thereby allowing the compiler to do build-time code elimination.

2008-09-01[ARM] cachetype: move definitions to separate headerRussell King
Rather than pollute asm/cacheflush.h with the cache type definitions, move them to asm/cachetype.h, and include this new header where necessary. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
