    ARM: 8623/1: mm: add ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_7 for UniPhier outer cache · 01bf9278
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    The UniPhier outer cache (arch/arm/mm/cache-uniphier.c) has 128 byte
    line length and its tags are also managed per 128 byte line.  This
    is very unfortunate, but the current 64 byte alignment for kmalloc()
    causes sharing problems on DMA if used with this outer cache.
    
    This commit adds ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_7 to increase the DMA minimum
    alignment to 128 byte if CACHE_UNIPHIER is enabled.  There are
    several drivers that assume aligning to L1_CACHE_BYTES will be DMA
    safe, so this commit also changes the L1_CACHE_BYTES for safety.
    
    Having said that, I hesitate to align all the other SoCs in Multi
    platform to the UniPhier's requirement.  So, I am disabling the
    CONFIG_CACHE_UNIPHIER by default, so that multi_v7_defconfig will
    still stay with CONFIG_ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6.  With this commit,
    UniPhier SoCs will become slower, but it is much better than system
    crash.  If desired, the outer-cache can be enabled by merge_config
    or something.
    
    Note:
    The UniPhier PH1-Pro5 SoC is equipped also with L3 cache with 256
    byte line size but its tags are managed per 128 byte sub-line.
    So, ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_7 should be fine for all the UniPhier SoCs.
