It turns out that vendors are relying on the format of /proc/cpuinfo, and we've even spotted out-of-tree hacks attempting to make it look identical to the format used by arch/arm/. That means we can't afford to churn this interface in mainline, so revert the recent reformatting of the file for arm64 pending discussions on the list to find out what people actually want. This reverts commit d7a49086f263164a2c4c178eb76412d48cd671d7. Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
This reverts commit a28e3f4b90543f7c249a956e3ca518e243a04618. Ard and Yi Li report that this patch is broken by design, so revert it and let them sort it out for 3.18 instead. Reported-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
SMbios is important for server hardware vendors. It implements a spec for providing descriptive information about the platform. Things like serial numbers, physical layout of the ports, build configuration data, and the like. This has been tested by dmidecode and lshw tools.

Currently reading /proc/cpuinfo will result in information being read out of the MIDR_EL1 of the current CPU, and the information is not associated with any particular logical CPU number. This is problematic for systems with heterogeneous CPUs (i.e. big.LITTLE) where MIDR fields will vary across CPUs, and the output will differ depending on the executing CPU. This patch reorganises the code responsible for /proc/cpuinfo to print information per-cpu. In the process, we perform several cleanups: * Property names are coerced to lower-case (to match "processor" as per glibc's expectations). * Property names are simplified and made to match the MIDR field names. * Revision is changed to hex as with every other field. * The meaningless Architecture property is removed. * The ripe-for-abuse Machine field is removed. The features field (a human-readable representation of the hwcaps) remains printed once, as this is expected to remain in use as the globally support CPU features. To enable the possibility of the addition of per-cpu HW feature information later, this is printed before any CPU-specific information. Comments are added to guide userspace developers in the right direction (using the hwcaps provided in auxval). Hopefully where userspace applications parse /proc/cpuinfo rather than using the readily available hwcaps, they limit themselves to reading said first line. If CPU features differ from each other, the previously installed sanity checks will give us some advance notice with warnings and TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC. If we are lucky, we will never see such systems. Rework will be required in many places to support such systems anyway.

Several kernel subsystems need to know details about CPU system register values, sometimes for CPUs other than that they are executing on. Rather than hard-coding system register accesses and cross-calls for these cases, this patch adds logic to record various system register values at boot-time. This may be used for feature reporting, firmware bug detection, etc. Separate hooks are added for the boot and hotplug paths to enable one-time intialisation and cold/warm boot value mismatch detection in later patches.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove the pgprot_default and prot_sect_default global variables and rely strictly on predefined values. The original goal was to be able to run SMP kernels on UP hardware by not setting the Shareability bit. However, it is unlikely to see UP ARMv8 hardware and even if we do, the Shareability bit is no longer assumed to disable cacheable accesses. A side effect is that the device mappings now have the Shareability attribute set. The hardware, however, should ignore it since Device accesses are always Outer Shareable. Following the removal of the two global variables, there is some PROT_* macro reshuffling and cleanup, including the __PAGE_* macros (replaced by PAGE_*).

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.

Recently, the default DMA ops have been changed to non-coherent for alignment with 32-bit ARM platforms (and DT files). This patch adds bus notifiers to be able to set the coherent DMA ops (with no cache maintenance) for devices explicitly marked as coherent via the "dma-coherent" DT property.
