arm: do not force d-cache enable on all boards
c2dd0d4554
added dcache_enable()
to board_init_r(). This enables d-cache for all ARM boards.
As a result some of the arm boards that are not cache-ready
are broken. Revert this change and allow platform code to
take the decision on d-cache enabling.
Also add some documentation for cache usage in ARM.

Disabling I-cache:
|
||||
- Set CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF
|
||||
|
||||
Disabling D-cache:
|
||||
- Set CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling I-cache:
|
||||
- Make sure CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF is not set and call icache_enable().
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling D-cache:
|
||||
- Make sure CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF is not set and call dcache_enable().
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling Caches at System Startup:
|
||||
- Implement enable_caches() for your platform and enable the I-cache and
|
||||
D-cache from this function. This function is called immediately
|
||||
after relocation.
|
||||
|
||||
Guidelines for Working with D-cache:
|
||||
|
||||
Memory to Peripheral DMA:
|
||||
- Flush the buffer after the MPU writes the data and before the DMA is
|
||||
initiated.
|
||||
|
||||
Peripheral to Memory DMA:
|
||||
- Invalidate the buffer before starting the DMA. In case there are any dirty
|
||||
lines from the DMA buffer in the cache, subsequent cache-line replacements
|
||||
may corrupt the buffer in memory while the DMA is still going on. Cache-line
|
||||
replacement can happen if the CPU tries to bring some other memory locations
|
||||
into the cache while the DMA is going on.
|
||||
- Invalidate the buffer after the DMA is complete and before the MPU reads
|
||||
it. This may be needed in addition to the invalidation before the DMA
|
||||
mentioned above, because in some processors memory contents can spontaneously
|
||||
come to the cache due to speculative memory access by the CPU. If this
|
||||
happens with the DMA buffer while DMA is going on we have a coherency problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Buffer Requirements:
|
||||
- Any buffer that is invalidated(that is, typically the peripheral to
|
||||
memory DMA buffer) should be aligned to cache-line boundary both at
|
||||
at the beginning and at the end of the buffer.
|
||||
- If the buffer is not cache-line aligned invalidation will be restricted
|
||||
to the aligned part. That is, one cache-line at the respective boundary
|
||||
may be left out while doing invalidation.
|
||||
|
||||
Cleanup Before Linux:
|
||||
- cleanup_before_linux() should flush the D-cache, invalidate I-cache, and
|
||||
disable MMU and caches.
|
||||
- The following sequence is advisable while disabling d-cache:
|
||||
1. disable_dcache() - flushes and disables d-cache
|
||||
2. invalidate_dcache_all() - invalid any entry that came to the cache
|
||||
in the short period after the cache was flushed but before the
|
||||
cache got disabled.
