[PATCH 6/7 v6] ARM: l2x0: calculate associativity from ePAPR cache props

Linus Walleij linus.walleij at linaro.org
Mon Sep 8 04:38:05 PDT 2014


Using the cache size, number of sets and cache line size we can
calculate desired associativity of the L2 cache. This is done
by the calculation:

associativity = (cache size / cache sets) / cache line size

For most normal cache sizes this will quickly roof out to the
maximum associativity of 8 (L2x0 variants) or 16 (PL3x0 variants).
While all variants have a hard-coded line size of 32 bytes we also
support reading the "cache-line-size" ePAPR binding and complain
if it does not match the hardware.
