Why? It's quite simple as far as I can see: static u32 l2_aux_ctrl; void __init l2x0_init(void __iomem *base, __u32 aux_val, __u32 aux_mask) { ... aux = readl_relaxed(l2x0_base + L2X0_AUX_CTRL); aux &= aux_mask; aux |= aux_val; l2_aux_ctrl = aux; ... } void l2x0_resume(void) { bool need_setup = false; if (l2_aux_ctrl != readl_relaxed(l2x0_base + L2X0_AUX_CTRL)) need_setup = true; if (!(readl_relaxed(l2x0_base + L2X0_CTRL) & 1)) { /* Make sure that I&D is not locked down when starting */ l2x0_unlock(cache_id); /* l2x0 controller is disabled */ writel_relaxed(l2_aux_ctrl, l2x0_base + L2X0_AUX_CTRL); l2x0_inv_all(); /* enable L2X0 */ writel_relaxed(1, l2x0_base + L2X0_CTRL); } } and we can do a similar thing when initializing the PL310 and resuming the PL310 - add a new outer_cache callback called 'resume' to be pointed at the relevant resume function which knows which registers to restore. > when we resume, we must disable l2 if bootloader has enabled it and > restore all registers. That's not possible in SoCs operating in non-secure mode from generic code, as some of these registers will not be accessible. They can only be programmed from platform specific code due to the complexities of dealing with the abhorrent secure monitor stuff. I'm now starting to think that we don't actually want any resume code at the L2 level - most SoCs will be operating in non-secure mode (I believe it's only ARM's development platforms which operate in secure mode) and so most of the generic code which will need to write to the L2 control registers on resume will fail. Even re-calling the initialization functions probably does nothing on parts operating in secure mode - whether at boot or at resume.
