Subject: [PATCH] ARM: proc-v7: Force misalignment of early stmia
|
|
|
|
In an attempt to prevent the problem of CPUn not starting, explicitly
|
|
misalign the scratch space used to save registers acros the cache
|
|
invalidation.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
At this stage in the boot process the core is running with its cache
|
|
disabled. Before enabling the cache its contents must be explicitly
|
|
invalidated, a process that requires quite a few registers that the
|
|
caller must preserve. Evidence suggests that something is writing a
|
|
block of zeroes over that space at a time when all other cores should
|
|
be idle, possibly some kind of write-combiner, and the misalignment is
|
|
designed to disrupt any write-coalescing.
|
|
|
|
In truth, I don't understand why this patch works, and when the failure
|
|
is so random it is hard to be certain that this isn't just rolling the
|
|
dice again. One interesting test would be to change the "addeq r12, #4"s
|
|
to "addeq r12, #0"s determine see if the offset itself is significant or
|
|
just the additional code.
