Manual/partial revert of 8690bbcf3b70 ("Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures")
Current generation of ARCv2/ARCv3 based HSxx cores are only PIPT (to software
at least).
Legacy ARC700 cpus could be VIPT aliasing (based on cache geometry and
PAGE_SIZE) however recently that support was ripped out so VIPT aliasing
cache is not relevant to ARC anymore.
P.S. : This has been discussed a few times on lists [1]
P.S.2: Please CC the arch maintainers and/or mailing list before adding
such interfaces.
Because 8690bbcf3b70 was introducing a tree-wide change affecting all
architectures, I CC'd linux-arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I expected all
architecture maintainers to follow that list, which is relatively
low volume.
I'm sorry that you learn about this after the fact as a result.
My intent was to use the list rather than CC about 50 additional
people/mailing lists.
Of course, if VIPT aliasing is removed from ARC, removing the
config ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and using the generic
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is the way to go. Feel free to add
