| 2 | |
| 3 | ARM cores often have a separate level 2 cache controller. There are various |
| 4 | implementations of the L2 cache controller with compatible programming models. |
| 5 | Some of the properties that are just prefixed "cache-*" are taken from section |
| 6 | 3.7.3 of the ePAPR v1.1 specification which can be found at: |
| 7 | https://www.power.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Power_ePAPR_APPROVED_v1.1.pdf |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The ARM L2 cache representation in the device tree should be done as follows: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Required properties: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - compatible : should be one of: |
| 14 | "arm,pl310-cache" |
| 15 | "arm,l220-cache" |
| 16 | "arm,l210-cache" |
| 17 | "bcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache": DEPRECATED by "brcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache" |
| 18 | "brcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache": For Broadcom bcm11351 chipset where an |
| 19 | offset needs to be added to the address before passing down to the L2 |
| 20 | cache controller |
| 21 | "marvell,aurora-system-cache": Marvell Controller designed to be |
| 22 | compatible with the ARM one, with system cache mode (meaning |
| 23 | maintenance operations on L1 are broadcasted to the L2 and L2 |
| 24 | performs the same operation). |
| 25 | "marvell,aurora-outer-cache": Marvell Controller designed to be |
| 26 | compatible with the ARM one with outer cache mode. |
| 27 | "marvell,tauros3-cache": Marvell Tauros3 cache controller, compatible |
| 28 | with arm,pl310-cache controller. |
| 29 | - cache-unified : Specifies the cache is a unified cache. |
| 30 | - cache-level : Should be set to 2 for a level 2 cache. |
| 31 | - reg : Physical base address and size of cache controller's memory mapped |
| 32 | registers. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Optional properties: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - arm,data-latency : Cycles of latency for Data RAM accesses. Specifies 3 cells of |
| 37 | read, write and setup latencies. Minimum valid values are 1. Controllers |
| 38 | without setup latency control should use a value of 0. |
| 39 | - arm,tag-latency : Cycles of latency for Tag RAM accesses. Specifies 3 cells of |
| 40 | read, write and setup latencies. Controllers without setup latency control |
| 41 | should use 0. Controllers without separate read and write Tag RAM latency |
| 42 | values should only use the first cell. |
| 43 | - arm,dirty-latency : Cycles of latency for Dirty RAMs. This is a single cell. |
| 44 | - arm,filter-ranges : <start length> Starting address and length of window to |
| 45 | filter. Addresses in the filter window are directed to the M1 port. Other |
| 46 | addresses will go to the M0 port. |
| 47 | - arm,io-coherent : indicates that the system is operating in an hardware |
| 48 | I/O coherent mode. Valid only when the arm,pl310-cache compatible |
| 49 | string is used. |
| 50 | - interrupts : 1 combined interrupt. |
| 51 | - cache-size : specifies the size in bytes of the cache |
| 52 | - cache-sets : specifies the number of associativity sets of the cache |
| 53 | - cache-block-size : specifies the size in bytes of a cache block |
| 54 | - cache-line-size : specifies the size in bytes of a line in the cache, |
| 55 | if this is not specified, the line size is assumed to be equal to the |
| 56 | cache block size |
| 57 | - cache-id-part: cache id part number to be used if it is not present |
| 58 | on hardware |
| 59 | - wt-override: If present then L2 is forced to Write through mode |
| 60 | - arm,double-linefill : Override double linefill enable setting. Enable if |
| 61 | non-zero, disable if zero. |
| 62 | - arm,double-linefill-incr : Override double linefill on INCR read. Enable |
| 63 | if non-zero, disable if zero. |
| 64 | - arm,double-linefill-wrap : Override double linefill on WRAP read. Enable |
| 65 | if non-zero, disable if zero. |
| 66 | - arm,prefetch-drop : Override prefetch drop enable setting. Enable if non-zero, |
| 67 | disable if zero. |
| 68 | - arm,prefetch-offset : Override prefetch offset value. Valid values are |
| 69 | 0-7, 15, 23, and 31. |
| 70 | - arm,shared-override : The default behavior of the pl310 cache controller with |
| 71 | respect to the shareable attribute is to transform "normal memory |
| 72 | non-cacheable transactions" into "cacheable no allocate" (for reads) or |
| 73 | "write through no write allocate" (for writes). |
| 74 | On systems where this may cause DMA buffer corruption, this property must be |
| 75 | specified to indicate that such transforms are precluded. |
| 76 | - prefetch-data : Data prefetch. Value: <0> (forcibly disable), <1> |
| 77 | (forcibly enable), property absent (retain settings set by firmware) |
| 78 | - prefetch-instr : Instruction prefetch. Value: <0> (forcibly disable), |
| 79 | <1> (forcibly enable), property absent (retain settings set by |
| 80 | firmware) |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Example: |
| 83 | |
| 84 | L2: cache-controller { |
| 85 | compatible = "arm,pl310-cache"; |
| 86 | reg = <0xfff12000 0x1000>; |
| 87 | arm,data-latency = <1 1 1>; |
| 88 | arm,tag-latency = <2 2 2>; |
| 89 | arm,filter-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8000000>; |
| 90 | cache-unified; |
| 91 | cache-level = <2>; |
| 92 | interrupts = <45>; |
| 93 | }; |
