I added below debug code to print the control reg from lowest 4bits to highest 4bits. It prints "B7805C". So the control reg is 0x00c5087b. Seems bootloader calls the kernel with MMU enabled and Alignment fault checking enabled. diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S index 32337ff..9434720 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S +++ b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S @@ -125,6 +125,23 @@ .rept 7 mov r0, r0 .endr + + /* Dirty debug code to print control reg from lowest 4bits to highest 4bits */ + ldr r2, =0xf0070120 @ UART + mrc p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0 @ read control reg + 1: + cmp r0, #0 + beq 2f + and r1, r0, #15 + cmp r1, #9 + addgt r1, r1, #7 + add r1, r1, #48 + str r1, [r2] + asr r0, r0, #4 + b 1b + 2: + + ARM( mov r0, r0 ) ARM( b 1f ) THUMB( adr r12, BSYM(1f) ) > > > > > Nicolas
