I can't think of any reason for that to happen unless detect_cache_attributes
is failing from init_cpu_topology and we are ignoring that.

Are all RISC-V platforms failing on -next or is it just this platform ?
I don't know. I only have SoCs with this core complex & one that does not
work with upstream. I can try my other board with this SoC - but I am on
leave at the moment w/ a computer or internet during the day so it may be
a few days before I can try it.
Sure, no worries.

However, Niklas Cassel has tried to use the Canaan K210 on next-20220630
but had issues with RCU stalling:

Not going to claim any relation, but that's minus 1 to the platforms that
can be used to test this on upstream RISC-V.
Ah OK, will check and ask full logs to see if there is any relation.

We may have to try with some logs in detect_cache_attributes,
last_level_cache_is_valid and last_level_cache_is_shared to check where it
is going wrong.

It must be crashing in smp_callin->update_siblings_masks->last_level_cache_is_shared

So, looks like there's a problem in cache_leaves_are_shared() which is hit
by the above path. Both of the if clauses are false, and the function falls
through to return sib_leaf->fw_token == this_leaf->fw_token;
Both sib_leaf & this_leaf seem to be null.

static inline bool cache_leaves_are_shared(struct cacheinfo *this_leaf,
					   struct cacheinfo *sib_leaf)
{
	/*
	 * For non DT/ACPI systems, assume unique level 1 caches,
	 * system-wide shared caches for all other levels. This will be used
	 * only if arch specific code has not populated shared_cpu_map
	 */
	if (!(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI)))
		return !(this_leaf->level == 1);

	if ((sib_leaf->attributes & CACHE_ID) &&
	    (this_leaf->attributes & CACHE_ID))
		return sib_leaf->id == this_leaf->id;

	return sib_leaf->fw_token == this_leaf->fw_token;
}

Any ideas what to look at next?
