2011-12-06armv7: disable L2 cache in cleanup_before_linux()Aneesh V
We were not disabling external caches before jumping to kernel. We were flushing all caches including external caches and disabling caches globally in CP15 System Control register. Apparently this is not enough. The bootstrap loader in Linux kernel that does decompression enables data-caches again, flush them after use and disable them before jumping to kernel proper. However, it's not aware of the external caches. Since we have left external cache enabled, external cache will get used once caches are enabled globally, but it's not flushed because decompressor is not aware of external caches. When it jumps to kernel with caches disabled globally, we have stale data in the external cache and a coherency problem. This was breaking the boot for OMAP4 with latest mainline kernel. The solution is to disable external caches in cleanup_before_linux(). With this fix kernel is booting again. Cc: Albert Aribaud <albert.u.boot@aribaud.net> Signed-off-by: Aneesh V <aneesh@ti.com>
2011-08-03omap: add MMC and FAT support to SPLAneesh V
- Add MMC raw and FAT mode boot support for OMAP - Provide a means by which parameters passed by ROM-code can be saved in u-boot. - Save boot mode related information passed by OMAP4 ROM-code and use it to determine where to load the u-boot from - Assumes that the image has a mkimage header. Gets the payload size and load address from this header. If the header is not detected assume u-boot.bin as payload Signed-off-by: Aneesh V <aneesh@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Sandeep Paulraj <s-paulraj@ti.com>
2011-07-04armv7: integrate cache maintenance supportAneesh V

2011-07-04armv7: rename cache related CONFIG flagsAneesh V
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 Signed-off-by: Aneesh V <aneesh@ti.com> 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
2010-07-05ARM: Rename arch/arm/cpu/arm_cortexa8 to armv7Steve Sakoman
The purpose of this patch is to prepare for adding the OMAP4 architecture, which is Cortex A9 Cortex A8 and A9 both belong to the armv7 architecture, hence the name change. The two architectures are similar enough that substantial code can be shared.
