Recent work enables cacheinfo memory for secondary CPUs to be allocated early, while still running on the primary CPU. That allows cacheinfo memory to be allocated safely on RT kernels. To make that work, the number of cache levels/leaves must be defined in the device tree or ACPI tables. Further work adds a path for early detection of the number of cache levels/leaves, which makes it possible to allocate the cacheinfo memory early without requiring extra DT/ACPI information. This patch addresses a specific issue with ACPI systems with no PPTT. In that case, parse_acpi_topology() returns an error code, which in turn makes init_cpu_topology() return early, before fetch_cache_info() is called. In that case, the early cache level detection doesn't run. The solution is to simply remove the "return" statement and let the code flow fall through to calling fetch_cache_info().

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.
