Ard Biesheuvel 793acf870e arm64: KVM: Describe data or unified caches as having 1 set and 1 way
On SMP ARM systems, cache maintenance by set/way should only ever be
done in the context of onlining or offlining CPUs, which is typically
done by bare metal firmware and never in a virtual machine. For this
reason, we trap set/way cache maintenance operations and replace them
with conditional flushing of the entire guest address space.

Due to this trapping, the set/way arguments passed into the set/way
ops are completely ignored, and thus irrelevant. This also means that
the set/way geometry is equally irrelevant, and we can simply report
it as 1 set and 1 way, so that legacy 32-bit ARM system software (i.e.,
the kind that only receives odd fixes) doesn't take a performance hit
due to the trapping when iterating over the cachelines.

README

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.
