Hi, Sudeep,
Please see this call-graph:
static int detect_cache_attributes(unsigned int cpu)
....
ret = populate_cache_leaves(cpu);
....
ret = cache_shared_cpu_map_setup(cpu); -->
cache_setup_of_node() --> cache_of_set_props() -->
cache_size()/cache_nr_sets
populate_cache_leaves() is arch-specific, All archs except arm64 have
provide initial values to cacheinfo:size and cacheinfo:number_of_sets.
