The cache information can be extracted from either a Device Tree (DT), the PPTT ACPI table, or arch registers (clidr_el1 for arm64). The clidr_el1 register is used only if DT/ACPI information is not available. It does not states how caches are shared among CPUs. Add a use_arch_cache_info field/function to identify when the DT/ACPI doesn't provide cache information. Use this information to assume L1 caches are privates and L2 and higher are shared among all CPUs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
