Currently ACPI populates just the minimum information about the last level cache from PPTT in order to feed the same to build sched_domains. Similar support for DT platforms is not present. In order to enable the same, the entire cache hierarchy information can be built as part of CPU topoplogy parsing both on ACPI and DT platforms. Note that this change builds the cacheinfo early even on ACPI systems, but the current mechanism of building llc_sibling mask remains unchanged.

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.
