[PATCH 2/2] ARC: mm: fix new code about cache aliasing

From: Vineet Gupta
Date: Thu Mar 28 2024 - 01:39:44 EST


Manual/partial revert of 8690bbcf3b70 ("Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures")

Current generation of ARCv2/ARCv3 based HSxx cores are only PIPT (to software
at least).

Legacy ARC700 cpus could be VIPT aliasing (based on cache geometry and
PAGE_SIZE) however recently that support was ripped out so VIPT aliasing
cache is not relevant to ARC anymore.

P.S. : This has been discussed a few times on lists [1]
P.S.2: Please CC the arch maintainers and/or mailing list before adding
such interfaces.
