[PATCH v2] mach-k3: mmu: add dynamic carveouts for MMU table

Anshul Dalal anshuld at ti.com
Tue Jun 10 18:08:32 CEST 2025


In u-boot we only provide a single MMU table for all k3 platforms,
this does not scale for devices with reserved memory outside the range
0x9e780000 - 0xa0000000 (eg j722s[1]) or for devices with < 2GiB of
memory (eg am62-SIP with 512MiB of RAM).

To properly configure the MMU on various k3 platforms, the
reserved-memory regions need to be queried at runtime from the
device-tree and the MMU table should be updated accordingly.

This patch adds the required fixups to the MMU table (during proper
U-boot stage) by marking the reserved regions as non cacheable and
keeping the remaining area as cacheable.

For the A-core SPL, the DDR is divided into three areas as follows:

  0x80000000  +------------------+ CFG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE
              |                  |
    512KiB    | #1 Non cacheable | reserved for ATF/OP-TEE
              |                  |
  0x80080000  |------------------| CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
              |                  |
    128MiB    | #2 Cacheable     | for runtime usage by the A-core SPL
              |                  |
  0x88080000  |------------------|
              |                  |
    1.9GiB    | #3 Non cacheable | reserved for DM/tifs-stub etc.
              |                  |
  0x100000000 +------------------+ End of DDR

The 128MiB size is chosen to allow for future use cases such as falcon
boot from the A-Core SPL which would require loading kernel image from
the SPL stage. This change also ensures the reserved memory regions that
all exist past 0x88080000 are non cacheable preventing speculative
accesses to those addresses.
