From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> So far the cacheline_size is only useful for the "dcacheline" --sort order, i.e. if that is not used, which is the norm, then the user shouldn't care that he is running this, say, on an Android system where sysconf(_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE) and the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index0/coherency_line_size sysfs file isn't available.
An upcoming patch will emit an warning only for "--sort ...,dcacheline,...".
