Other architectures, such as ARM and x86, adopted the same idea.

arm64: Implement cache_line_size() based on CTR_EL0.CWG 2014-05-09T14:47:45+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2014-04-03T16:48:54+00:00 a41dc0e841523efe1df7fa5ad48b5e9027a921df The hardware provides the maximum cache line size in the system via the CTR_EL0.CWG bits. This patch implements the cache_line_size() function to read such information, together with a sanity check if the statically defined L1_CACHE_BYTES is smaller than the hardware value.

arm64: Cache maintenance routines 2012-09-17T12:42:00+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2012-03-05T11:49:28+00:00 f1a0c4aa0937975b53991842a494f741d7769b02 The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64 architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
