We don't know anything about the cache topology info without ACPI,
but in fact we can get it from DT like:
* cpu0: cpu at 000 {
* next-level-cache = <&L2_1>;
* L2_1: l2-cache {
* compatible = "cache";
* next-level-cache = <&L3_1>;
* };
* L3_1: l3-cache {
* compatible = "cache";
* };
* };
*
* cpu1: cpu at 001 {
* next-level-cache = <&L2_1>;
* cpu-idle-states = <&clusteroff_l &mcusysoff
* &system_mem &system_pll &system_bus
* &s2idle>;
* };
* cpu2: cpu at 002 {
* L2_2: l2-cache {
* compatible = "cache";
* next-level-cache = <&L3_1>;
* };
* };
*
* cpu3: cpu at 003 {
* next-level-cache = <&L2_2>;
* };
Building the cache topology has many benefits, here is a part of useage.
