Move IOC initialization from cache_init() to a separate function. This is the preparation for the next patch where we'll switch to is_isa_arcv2() function usage instead of "CONFIG_ISA_ARCV2" ifdef. Also it makes cache_init function a bit cleaner. Signed-off-by:

We don't implement separate flush_dcache_all() intentionally as entire data cache invalidation is dangerous operation even if we flush data cache right before invalidation. There is the real example: We may get stuck in the following code if we store any context (like BLINK register) on stack in invalidate_dcache_all() function. BLINK register is the register where return address is automatically saved when we do function call with instructions like 'bl'. void flush_dcache_all() { __dc_entire_op(OP_FLUSH); // Other code // } void invalidate_dcache_all() { __dc_entire_op(OP_INV); // Other code // } void foo(void) { flush_dcache_all(); invalidate_dcache_all(); } Now let's see what really happens during that code execution: foo() |->> call flush_dcache_all [return address is saved to BLINK register] [push BLINK] (save to stack) ![point 1] |->> call __dc_entire_op(OP_FLUSH) [return address is saved to BLINK register] [flush L1 D$] return [jump to BLINK] <<------ [other flush_dcache_all code] [pop BLINK] (get from stack) return [jump to BLINK] <<------ |->> call invalidate_dcache_all [return address is saved to BLINK register] [push BLINK] (save to stack) ![point 2] |->> call __dc_entire_op(OP_FLUSH) [return address is saved to BLINK register] [invalidate L1 D$] ![point 3] // Oops!!! // We lose return address from invalidate_dcache_all function: // we save it to stack and invalidate L1 D$ after that! return [jump to BLINK] <<------ [other invalidate_dcache_all code] [pop BLINK] (get from stack) // we don't have this data in L1 dcache as we invalidated it in [point 3] // so we get it from next memory level (for example DDR memory) // but in the memory we have value which we save in [point 1], which // is return address from flush_dcache_all function (instead of // address from current invalidate_dcache_all function which we // saved in [point 2] !) return [jump to BLINK] <<------ // As BLINK points to invalidate_dcache_all, we call it again and // loop forever. Fortunately we may do flush and invalidation of D$ with a single one instruction which automatically mitigates a situation described above. And because invalidate_dcache_all() isn't used in common U-Boot code we implement "flush and invalidate dcache all" instead. Signed-off-by:

As of today __dc_line_op() and __dc_entire_op() support only separate flush (OP_FLUSH) and invalidate (OP_INV) operations. Add support of combined flush and invalidate (OP_FLUSH_N_INV) operation which we planing to use in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by:

__cache_line_loop() function was copied from Linux kernel where per-line instruction cache operations are really used. In U-Boot we use only entire I$ ops, so we can drop support of per-line I$ ops from __cache_line_loop() because __cache_line_loop() is never called with OP_INV_IC parameter. Signed-off-by:

We'd like to keep IOC HW at the same state as t is right after reset when we start Linux kernel so there will be no re-configuration of IOC on the go. The point is U-Boot doesn't benefit a lot from IOC as it doesn't do a lot of DMA operations especially on multiple cores simultaneously. At the same time re-configuration of IOC in run-time might become quite a tricky experience because we need to make sure there're no DMA trannsactions in flight otherwise unexpected consequencses might affect us much later and debugging those kinds of issues will be a real nightmare. That said let's make our life easier a little bit. Signed-off-by:

Previous SLC management implementation is broken. Seems like it was never sufficiently tested probably because most of the time IOC was used instead (i.e. no manual cache operations were done). Now if we disable IOC in U-boot we'll get a lot of errors while using DMA-enabled peripherals. This time we fix it by substitution of broken per-line SLC operations region operations as it is done in the Linux kernel (we took it from v4.14 which is the latest stable as of today). Among other things this implementation might be a bit faster because instead of iteration over each and every cache line we're taking care about entire region in one go. Main changes: * Replaced __slc_line_op (per line operations) by __slc_rgn_op (region operations). * Reworked __slc_entire_op to get rid of __after_slc_op and __before_slc_op functions. Note flush fix (flush only instead of flush-n-inv when OP_FLUSH is used, see [1] for more details) is already incorporated here. * Added SLC invalidation to invalidate_icache_all(). * Added (start >= end) check to invalidate_dcache_range() and flush_dcache_range() as some buggy drivers pass region start == end. * Added read-out of MMU BCR so we may know if PAE40 exists in HW and then act on a particular AUX regs accordingly.

dcache_exists, icache_exists, slc_exists and ioc_exists global variables in "arch/arc/lib/cache.c" remain uninitialized if SoC doesn't have corresponding HW. This happens because we use the next constructions for their definition and initialization: -------------------------->>--------------------- int ioc_exists __section(".data"); if (/* condition */) ioc_exists = 1; -------------------------->>--------------------- That's quite a non-trivial issue as one may think of it. The point is we intentionally put those variables in ".data" section so they might survive relocation (remember we initilaize them very early before relocation and continue to use after reloaction). While being non-initialized and not explicitly put in .data section they would end-up in ".bss" section which by definition is filled with zeroes. But since we place those variables in .data section we need to care about their proper initialization ourselves. Also while at it we change their type to "bool" as more appropriate. Signed-off-by:

We used to use the same memory layout and size for a couple of boards and thus we just hardcoding IOC aperture start and size. Now when we're getting more boards with more memory on board we need to have an ability to set IOC so it matches real DDR layout and size. Even though it is not really a must but for simplicity we assume IOC covers all the DDR we have, that gives us a chance to not bother where DMA buffers are allocated - any part of DDR is OK.

As reported in STAR 9001165532, an SLC control reg read (for checking busy state) right after SLC invalidate command may incorrectly return NOT busy causing software to NOT spin-wait while operation is underway. (and for some reason this only happens if L1 cache is also disabled - as required by IOC programming model) Suggested workaround is to do an additional Control Reg read, which ensures the 2nd read gets the right status. Same fix made in Linux kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c70c473396cbdec1168a6eff60e13029c0916854 Signed-off-by:

According to ARC HS databook it is required to flush and disable caches prior programming IOC registers. Otherwise ongoing coherent memory operations may not observe the coherency protocols as expected. But since in ARC HS v2.1 there's no way to disable SLC (AKA L2 cache) we're doing our best flushing and invalidating it. Signed-off-by:

invalidate_dcache_all() could be used in different use-cases and what is especially important most of those cases won't be related to DMAed data to or from peripherals, i.e. we'll be doing invalidation of data used purely by CPU cores. Given that IOC engine only snoops data that goes through DMA we need to care ourselves about data used only by CPU cores and so remove dependency on IOC from invalidate_dcache_all() and always do real invalidation.

flush_dcache_all() is used in the very end of U-Boot self relocation to write back all copied and then patched code and data to their new location in the very end of available memory space. Since that has nothing to do with IO (i.e. no external DMA happens here) IOC won't help here and we need to write back data cache contents manually. Signed-off-by:

With release of ARC HS38 v2.1 new IO coherency engine could be built-in ARC core. This hardware module ensures coherency between DMA-ed data from peripherals and L2 cache. With L2 and IOC enabled there's no overhead for L2 cache manual maintenance which results in significantly improved IO bandwidth. Signed-off-by:

ARC core could be configured with different L1 and L2 (AKA SLC) cache line lengths. At least these values are possible and were really used: 32, 64 or 128 bytes. Current implementation requires cache line to be selected upon U-Boot configuration and then it will only work on matching hardware. Indeed this is quite efficient because cache line length gets hardcoded during code compilation. But OTOH it makes binary less portable. With this commit we allow U-Boot to determine real L1 cache line length early in runtime and use this value later on. This extends portability of U-Boot binary a lot. Signed-off-by:

[1] Align cache management functions to those in Linux kernel. I.e.: a) Use the same functions for all cache ops (D$ Inv/Flush) b) Split cache ops in 3 sub-functions: "before", "lineloop" and "after". That way we may re-use "before" and "after" functions for region and full cache ops. [2] Implement full-functional L2 (SLC) management. Before SLC was simply disabled early on boot. It's also possible to enable or disable L2 cache from config utility. [3] Disable/enable corresponding caches early on boot. So if U-Boot is configured to use caches they will be used at all times (this is useful in partucular for speed-up of relocation). Signed-off-by:

ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache). This change adds functions required for controlling SLC: * slc_enable/disable * slc_flush/invalidate For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either: * SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot * hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for controlling SLC explicitly) Signed-off-by:

always Make both invalidate_icache_all() and invalidate_dcache_all() available even if U-Boot is configured with CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF and/or CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF. This is useful because configuration of U-Boot may not match actual hardware features. Real board may have cache(s) but for some reason we may want to run U-Boot with cache(s) disabled (for example if some peripherals work improperly with existing drivers if data cache is enabled). So board may start with cache(s) enabled (that's the case for ARC cores with built-in caches) but early in U-Boot we disable cache(s) and make sure all contents of data cache gets flushed in RAM.

"reset.c" and "cpu.c" have no architecture-specific code at all. Others are applicable to either ARC CPU. This change is a preparation to submission of ARCv2 architecture port. Even though ARCv1 and ARCv2 ISAs are not binary compatible most of built-in modules still have the same programming model - AUX registers are mapped in the same addresses and hold the same data (new featues extend existing ones). So only low-level assembly code (start-up, interrupt handlers) is left as CPU(actually ISA)-specific. This significantyl simplifies maintenance of multiple CPUs/ISAs. Signed-off-by:

Some cache operations ({i|d}cache_{enable|disable|status} or flush_dcache_all) are built and used even if CONFIG_SYS_{I|D}CACHE_OFF is set. This is required for force disable of caches on early boot. What if something was executed before U-boot and enabled caches (low-level bootloaders, previously run kernel etc.)? But if CPU doesn't really have caches any attempt to access cache-related AUX registers triggers instruction error exception. So for convenience we'll try to avoid exceptions by checking if CPU actually has caches (we check separately data and instruction cache existence) at all. Signed-off-by:
