* arm64: Increase the max granular sizeTirumalesh Chalamarla2015-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Increase the standard cacheline size to avoid having locks in the same cacheline. Cavium's ThunderX core implements cache lines of 128 byte size. With current granulare size of 64 bytes (L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6) two locks could share the same cache line leading a performance degradation. Increasing the size fixes that. Increasing the size has no negative impact to cache invalidation on systems with a smaller cache line. There is an impact on memory usage, but that's not too important for arm64 use cases.

* arm64: Implement support for read-mostly sectionsJungseok Lee2014-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | As putting data which is read mostly together, we can avoid unnecessary cache line bouncing. Other architectures, such as ARM and x86, adopted the same idea.

* arm64: Implement cache_line_size() based on CTR_EL0.CWGCatalin Marinas2014-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | 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 routinesCatalin Marinas2012-09-17
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.
