I can't see how to use CP 15 various registers. Does anyone have a snippet that retrieves the implementer or perhaps the cache info from the CPU using CP15?

Actually I was looking for code that can give me the cache size, line size, associativity, type and level. This needs to run in user mode on Cortex A9. I get the impression from the docs that what I want is not available in user mode.

The ARM ARM gives an example cache clean routine which uses the CP15 registers to work out how much cache there is to clean. Would that do?

Correct - cache setup and maintenance operations are only available from privileged mode.
What are you actually trying to do in user space that needs this information? Cache line length is important to know if you are dealing with a hardware peripheral - but because a hardware device typically needs a privileged device driver, then adding a query to the driver to get the line length is the common method.
