2015-06-01ARM: v7 setup function should invalidate L1 cacheRussell King
All ARMv5 and older CPUs invalidate their caches in the early assembly setup function, prior to enabling the MMU. This is because the L1 cache should not contain any data relevant to the execution of the kernel at this point; all data should have been flushed out to memory. This requirement should also be true for ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs - indeed, these typically do not search their caches when caching is disabled (as it needs to be when the MMU is disabled) so this change should be safe. ARMv7 allows there to be CPUs which search their caches while caching is disabled, and it's permitted that the cache is uninitialised at boot; for these, the architecture reference manual requires that an implementation specific code sequence is used immediately after reset to ensure that the cache is placed into a sane state. Such functionality is definitely outside the remit of the Linux kernel, and must be done by the SoC's firmware before _any_ CPU gets to the Linux kernel. Changing the data cache clean+invalidate to a mere invalidate allows us to get rid of a lot of platform specific hacks around this issue for their secondary CPU bringup paths - some of which were buggy.

2013-07-14arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM usersPaul Gortmaker
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code, and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous" section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT (aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

2013-02-20ARM: prima2: remove duplicate v7_invalidate_l1Arnd Bergmann
Patch c08e20d "arm: Add v7_invalidate_l1 to cache-v7.S" added a generic version of this function and removed all platform specific versions, while 4898de3 "ARM: PRIMA2: add new SiRFmarco SMP SoC infrastructures" added another one, leading to a link error. I verified that the two are identical, so we can just remove the one in mach-prima2. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2013-02-14ARM: prima2: fix __init section for cpu hotplugArnd Bergmann
The code in arch/arm/mach-prima2/headsmp.S is used for both boot time initialization and for cpu hotplug, so it must not be discarded after the initial boot is complete. This replaces the __INIT annotation with __CPUINIT, and marks the sirfsoc_cpu_die as __ref to annotate that it correctly uses the sections. Without this patch, building prima2_defconfig results in: WARNING: arch/arm/mach-prima2/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x130): Section mismatch in reference from the function sirfsoc_boot_secondary() to the function .init.text:sirfsoc_secondary_startup() The function __cpuinit sirfsoc_boot_secondary() references a function __init sirfsoc_secondary_startup(). If sirfsoc_secondary_startup is only used by sirfsoc_boot_secondary then annotate sirfsoc_secondary_startup with a matching annotation.

2013-01-22ARM: PRIMA2: add new SiRFmarco SMP SoC infrastructuresBarry Song
this patch adds tick timer, smp entries and generic DT machine for SiRFmarco dual-core SMP chips. with the added marco, we change the defconfig, using the same defconfig, we get a zImage which can work on both prima2 and marco.
