If a cache has an unknown type because neither the hardware nor the firmware told us, an entry in the sysfs tree will be made, but the type file will not be present. lscpu depends on the type file being present for every entry, and will error out without printing system information if lscpu cannot open the type file. Presenting information about a cache without indicating its type is not useful, therefore if we hit a cache with an unknown type, stop populating sysfs so that userspace has the maximum amount of useful information. This addresses the following lscpu error, which prevents any output. lscpu: cannot open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/type: No such file or directory Suggested-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeffrey Hugo <jhugo@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
