Setting cache policy information for prefetched cache entry

Prefetch circuitry generates, based on stream prefetch state information, prefetch requests for prefetching data to at least one cache. Cache control circuitry controls, based on cache policy information associated with cache entries in a given level of cache, at least one of cache entry replacement in the given level of cache, and allocation of data evicted from the given level of cache to a further level of cache. The stream prefetch state information specifies, for at least one stream of addresses, information representing an address access pattern for generating addresses to be specified by a corresponding series of prefetch requests. Cache policy information for at least one prefetched cache entry of the given level of cache (to which data is prefetched for a given stream of addresses) is set to a value dependent on at least one stream property associated with the given stream of addresses.
