With D-cache and MMU enabled for ARM in u-boot it becomes imperative to
support a minimal set of cache maintenance operations and necessary
initializations before enabling MMU.
This series of patches attempt to do the following for armv7:
* Necessary initialization sequence before enabling MMU that includes
invalidation of TLB, data caches, branch predictor array etc.
* Framework for supporting SOC specific outer caches in a generic manner
(using a structure of function pointers - inspired by the Linux
implementation)
* Generic armv7 cache maintenance operations for caches known to the CPU
* Support for ARM PL310 L2 cache controller used in OMAP4
* Cleanup of the cleanup_before_linux() function
* Adapting all armv7 SOCs to use the new framework and removing
duplicated code
Testing:
* Extensive testing on OMAP4430SDP and OMAP3430SDP by creating coherency
issues and solving them using the maintenance routines
- Eg: memfill a region of memory with a known pattern
- Invalidate the region
- Read back and compare the region with the original pattern
- If match fails it means that invalidate is successful
- Now add a flush call just before the invalidate
- If match succeeds it means that flush was successful
- Outer caches were tested with experiments involving making the
function pointers NULL
* Kernel booting on OMAP4430SDP and OMAP3430SDP
Note: v2 has been tested only on OMAP4430SDP
V2:
* Pointer based callback mechanism for outer cache operations
changed to a weakly linked functions.
* Change -march=armv7-a back to armv5
* Moved utility macros out of armv7.h
* Added documentation for new CONFIG options.
* Changed implementation of log2n to not use CLZ instruction as armv4
doesn't support this instruction and newly added Tegra2 uses
-march=armv4
* Blank line after local variable declarations - fixed globally
* Explicitly added an empty flush_cache() under
#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_NO_DCACHE
* Removed the print inside the weakly linked stub function -
__arm_init_before_mmu
* Fixed signature of flush_cache in cache.c
* More descriptive commit message for the PL310 support patch
* C struct for PL310 register accesses
* Fixed white space issues
V3:
* Rebased to latest HEAD of master
* Added comments on changes done in V2 in individual patch headers. This
was missing in V2
V4:
* Removed bit field manipulation macros
* Renamed CONFIG_SYS_NO_*CACHE flags to CONFIG_SYS_*CACHE_OFF globally
