cacheinfo: Fix LLC is not exported through sysfs
After entering 6.3-rc1 the LLC cacheinfo is not exported on our ACPI based arm64 server. This is because the LLC cacheinfo is partly reset when secondary CPUs boot up. On arm64 the primary cpu will allocate and setup cacheinfo: init_cpu_topology() for_each_possible_cpu() fetch_cache_info() // Allocate cacheinfo and init levels detect_cache_attributes() cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() if (!last_level_cache_is_valid()) // not valid, setup LLC cache_setup_properties() // setup LLC On secondary CPU boot up: detect_cache_attributes() populate_cache_leaves() get_cache_type() // Get cache type from clidr_el1, // for LLC type=CACHE_TYPE_NOCACHE cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() if (!last_level_cache_is_valid()) // Valid and won't go to this branch, // leave LLC's type=CACHE_TYPE_NOCACHE The last_level_cache_is_valid() use cacheinfo->{attributes, fw_token} to test it's valid or not, but populate_cache_leaves() will only reset LLC's type, so we won't try to re-setup LLC's type and leave it CACHE_TYPE_NOCACHE and won't export it through sysfs. This patch tries to fix this by not re-populating the cache leaves if the LLC is valid.
