Subject: [RFC][PATCH 19/34] x86/cpu: Introduce cache alignment multiplier
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2024 10:39:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240222183951.6BCC4D89@davehans-spike.ostc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240222183926.517AFCD2@davehans-spike.ostc.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
The kernel currently tracks two different but similar-sounding values:
x86_clflush_size
and
x86_cache_alignment
x86_clflush_size is literally the size of the cacheline which is also
the architectural granularity at which CLFLUSH operates.
But some weirdo CPUs like the Pentium 4 do some operations across
two cachelines. Their CLFLUSH still works at 'x86_clflush_size'
but they need some operations aligned to that double cacheline to
work well, thus 'x86_cache_alignment'.
Introduce and use a 'bsp_addr_config' field for these systems.
Note that the Intel Family 15 code actually did this in two different
sites, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. Unify them.
