[ Upstream commit cb0cd4ee11142339f2d47eef6db274290b7a482d ]
With commit 36bbc5b4ffab ("cacheinfo: Allow early detection and population
of cache attributes") the shared cpu list for each cache level higher than
L1 is rebuilt even if the list already has been set up.
This is caused by the removal of the cpumask_empty() check within
cache_shared_cpu_map_setup().
However architectures can enforce that the shared cpu list is not rebuilt
by simply setting cpu_map_populated of the per cpu cache info structure to
true, which is also the fix for this problem.
Before:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list
0-7
After:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list
1

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.
