* drivers/base: cacheinfo: fix annoying typo when DT nodes are absentWill Deacon2015-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | s/hierarcy/hierarchy/ Maybe the typo will annoy people enough so that they add the missing nodes to their device-tree files, but I still think this is better off fixed.

* drivers: base: support cpu cache information interface to userspace via sysfsSudeep Holla2014-11-071-0/+100
This patch adds initial support for providing processor cache information to userspace through sysfs interface. This is based on already existing implementations(x86, ia64, s390 and powerpc) and hence the interface is intended to be fully compatible. The main purpose of this generic support is to avoid further code duplication to support new architectures and also to unify all the existing different implementations. This implementation maintains the hierarchy of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology. Cache devices are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. The cache information is replicated per-cpu even if they are shared. A per-cpu array of cache information maintained is used mainly for sysfs-related book keeping. It also implements the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for enabling both kernel and user-space to discover the system's overall cache topology. This patch also add the missing ABI documentation for the cacheinfo sysfs interface already, which is well defined and widely used.
