From 8690bbcf3b7010b31fdbf3851e1add6ae19b8624 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 09:46:32 -0500 Subject: Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX) can reliably query this. For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding: A) The data cache is always aliasing: * arc * csky * m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.) * sh * parisc B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU state at runtime: * arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing()) * mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases) * nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE) * sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE) * sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE) * xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE) C) The data cache is never aliasing: * alpha * arm64 (aarch64) * hexagon * loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE")) * microblaze * openrisc * powerpc * riscv * s390 * um * x86 Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()". Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false". Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache. Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache" to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page cache".
