Armv7 and Armv8 allow outer cache exist, it is outside of the architecture defined cache hierarchy and can not be manipulated by architecture defined instructions. It's processor specific. This patch merge v7_outer_cache_* and v8 l3_cache_*.
This commit message is a little misleading, though it probably makes sense to have something of this sort ARMv8. Info dump below.
[...]
So, does the commit message require rewriting?
Yup. My complaint was that outer caches _can_ be manipulated by architecturally defined instructions, but only for maintenance by VA. So it's wrong to say that they cannot be manipulated by archtiecturally defined instructions.
Thanks. I expect a new version of this patch, then (and a non-RFC one if the commit message is the only thing to fix).
Mark.
Amicalement,
