Hi All,
Just booting up v5.5.11 on a Freescale T2080RDB and I'm seeing the
following mesage.
kern.warning linuxbox kernel: Argh, can't find dcache properties !
kern.warning linuxbox kernel: Argh, can't find icache properties !
This was changed from DBG() to pr_warn() in commit 3b9176e9a874
("powerpc/setup_64: fix -Wempty-body warnings") but the message seems
to be much older than that. So it's probably been an issue on the T2080
(and other QorIQ SoCs) for a while.
Looking at the code the t208x doesn't specifiy any of the d-cache-
size/i-cache-size properties. Should I add them to silence the warning
or switch it to pr_debug()/pr_info()?
Thanks,
Chris

That's an e6500 I think? So 64-bit Book3E.
You'll be getting the default values, which is 64 bytes so I guess that
works in practice.

Yeah ideally you'd add them to the device tree(s) for those boards.

I think the info I need is in the block diagram[0]. I'll whip up
a patch.

Ugh, you're right.
Because we're missing the cache-line-size properties, even though they
are optional when the block & line size are the same.
# find /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC\,POWER9@0/ -name '*cache*'
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/l2-cache
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/d-cache-block-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/d-cache-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/i-cache-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/d-cache-sets
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/i-cache-block-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/i-cache-sets
skiboot even explicitly omits them:
if (cache->icache_line_size != cache->icache_block_size)
dt_add_property_cells(cpu, "i-cache-line-size",
be32_to_cpu(cache->icache_line_size));
if (cache->l1_dcache_line_size != cache->dcache_block_size)
dt_add_property_cells(cpu, "d-cache-line-size",
be32_to_cpu(cache->l1_dcache_line_size));
Looks like it was broken ~3 years ago, in:
bd067f83b084 ("powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line")
Previously we did:
lsizep = of_get_property(np, "d-cache-block-size",
NULL);
/* fallback if block size missing */
if (lsizep == NULL)
lsizep = of_get_property(np,
"d-cache-line-size",
NULL);
if (lsizep != NULL)
lsize = be32_to_cpu(*lsizep);
if (sizep == NULL || lsizep == NULL)
DBG("Argh, can't find dcache properties ! "
"sizep: %p, lsizep: %p\n", sizep, lsizep);
ie. fallback from block size to line size, and only print if both are missing.
That commit changed the names and the logic, but not in a consistent
fashion, making "d-cache-line-size" required to avoid the Argh:
bsizep = of_get_property(np, "d-cache-block-size",
NULL);
lsizep = of_get_property(np, "d-cache-line-size",
NULL);
if (bsizep == NULL)
bsizep = lsizep;
if (lsizep != NULL)
lsize = be32_to_cpu(*lsizep);
if (bsizep != NULL)
bsize = be32_to_cpu(*bsizep);
if (sizep == NULL || bsizep == NULL || lsizep == NULL)
DBG("Argh, can't find dcache properties ! "
"sizep: %p, bsizep: %p, lsizep: %p\n",
sizep, bsizep, lsizep);
Back then we fell back to cur_cpu_spec->dcache_bsize, which should be
correct. But since then we introduced the device tree CPU features
parsing, which does:
static struct cpu_spec __initdata base_cpu_spec = {
...
.icache_bsize = 32, /* minimum block size, fixed by */
.dcache_bsize = 32, /* cache info init. */
So on systems with new enough skiboot we now default to 32, which is
wrong on Power9.
Luckily this info is not used by the sysfs cache files, because that
code doesn't use the values we parse here, it goes and looks at the
device tree itself. Which is pretty gross but actually saves us in this
case.
These values do end up in the vdso_data, and I can see the wrong values
in the vdso_data:

32 != 128
And that appears to flow through to glibc, ie. I see:
_SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE = 32
_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE = 32
_SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_LINESIZE = 32
_SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_LINESIZE = 32
So excuse me while I go and swear at something.

Ugh, you're right.
Because we're missing the cache-line-size properties, even though they
are optional when the block & line size are the same.
# find /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC\,POWER9@0/ -name '*cache*'
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/l2-cache
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/d-cache-block-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/d-cache-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/i-cache-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/d-cache-sets
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/i-cache-block-size
/proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER9@0/i-cache-sets
skiboot even explicitly omits them:
if (cache->icache_line_size != cache->icache_block_size)
dt_add_property_cells(cpu, "i-cache-line-size",
be32_to_cpu(cache->icache_line_size));
if (cache->l1_dcache_line_size != cache->dcache_block_size)
dt_add_property_cells(cpu, "d-cache-line-size",
be32_to_cpu(cache->l1_dcache_line_size));
Looks like it was broken ~3 years ago, in:
bd067f83b084 ("powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line")
Previously we did:
