Currently, riscv defines ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as L1_CACHE_BYTES, I.E 64Bytes, if CONFIG_RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT=y. To support unified kernel Image, usually we have to enable CONFIG_RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT, thus it brings some bad effects to coherent platforms: Firstly, it wastes memory, kmalloc-96, kmalloc-32, kmalloc-16 and kmalloc-8 slab caches don't exist any more, they are replaced with either kmalloc-128 or kmalloc-64. Secondly, larger than necessary kmalloc aligned allocations results in unnecessary cache/TLB pressure. This issue also exists on arm64 platforms. From last year, Catalin tried to solve this issue by decoupling ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, limiting kmalloc() minimum alignment to dma_get_cache_alignment() and replacing ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN usage in various drivers with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN etc.[1] One fact we can make use of for riscv: if the CPU doesn't support ZICBOM or T-HEAD CMO, we know the platform is coherent. Based on Catalin's work and above fact, we can easily solve the kmalloc align issue for riscv: we can override dma_get_cache_alignment(), then let it return ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN at the beginning and return 1 once we know the underlying HW neither supports ZICBOM nor supports T-HEAD CMO. So what about if the CPU supports ZICBOM or T-HEAD CMO, but all the devices are dma coherent? Well, we use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as the kmalloc minimum alignment, nothing changed in this case. This case can be improved in the future. After this patch, a simple test of booting to a small buildroot rootfs on qemu shows: kmalloc-96 5041 5041 96 ... kmalloc-64 9606 9606 64 ... kmalloc-32 5128 5128 32 ... kmalloc-16 7682 7682 16 ... kmalloc-8 10246 10246 8 ... So we save about 1268KB memory. The saving will be much larger in normal OS env on real HW platforms.
