The following is the cleanup sequence in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/cpu.c
int cleanup_before_linux(void)
{
...
...
dcache_disable();
v7_outer_cache_disable();
invalidate_dcache_all();
}
1) invalidate_dcache_all call expects that all the caches has been
flushed, invalidated and there are no dirty entries prior to its
execution. In the above sequence dcache_disable() flushes, invalidates
the caches and turns off the mmu. But after it cleanups the cache
and before the mmu is disabled there is a cp_delay() function which
has STR instruction. On certain cores like the cortex-a15, cache hit
and a write can happen to a cache line even when the dcache is
disabled. So the above mentioned STR instruction creates a dirty entry
after cleaning. The mmu gets disabled after this.
2) invalidate_dcache_all invalidates the cache lines. Again on
cores like cortex-a15, invalidate instruction flushes the dirty
line as well. So some times the dirty line from sequence 1
can corrupt the memory resulting in a crash.
Fixing this by moving the get_cr() and cp_delay() calls before
cleaning up the cache, thus avoiding the dirty entry.

1. make sure that page table setup is not done multiple times
2. flush_dcache_all() is more appropriate while disabling cache
than a range flush on the entire memory(flush_cache())
Provide a default implementation for flush_dcache_all()
for backward compatibility and to avoid build issues.

- Enable I-cache on bootup
- Enable MMU and D-cache immediately after relocation
- Do necessary initialization before enabling d-cache and MMU
- Changes to cleanup_before_linux()
- Make changes according to the new framework

Replace the cache related CONFIG flags with more meaningful
names. Following are the changes:
CONFIG_L2_OFF -> CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF
CONFIG_SYS_NO_ICACHE -> CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF
CONFIG_SYS_NO_DCACHE -> CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF

V2:
* Changed CONFIG_L2_OFF -> CONFIG_SYS_NO_L2CACHE
V4:
* Changed all three flags to the final names suggested as above
and accordingly changed the commit message
When this define was introduced, the idea was to provide a soft
migration path for ARM boards to get adapted to the new relocation
support. However, other recent changes led to a different
implementation (ELF relocation), where this no longer works. By now
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC does not only not help any more, but it
actually hurts because it obfuscates the actual code by sprinkling it
with lots of dead and non-working debris.
So let's make a clean cut and drop CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC.

!! This breaks support for all arm boards !!
To compile in old style, you must define
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC or you can compile
with "CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC=1 ./MAKEALL board"
!! This define will be removed soon, so convert your
board to use relocation support

Fix boot from NAND for non-ARM systems
Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
This has been tested on at91sam9263 and STN8815.
Again, I didn't check if it has bad effects
on non-arm926 cores.
Initially I had a "done" bit to only set up page tables
at the beginning. However, since the aligmnent requirement
was for the whole object file, this extra integer tool 16kB
in BSS, so I chose to remove it.
Also, note not all boards use PHYS_SDRAM, but it looks like
it's the most used name (more than CONFIG_SYS_DRAM_BASE for
example).

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.
