From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: eric@anholt.net (Eric Anholt) Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:49:56 -0700 Subject: RPi3 arm64 port status Message-ID: <87oaa4k5kr.fsf@eliezer.anholt.net> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org I spent most of today working on getting aarch64 working on the Raspberry Pi 3. Here's what I've got so far: U-Boot branch mostly based on srwarren's work: https://github.com/anholt/u-boot/tree/rpi_dev (Check the commit messages there for necessary config.txt contents) My linux tree: https://github.com/anholt/linux/tree/bcm2837-64 Linux is booting to the point of initializing MMC. As of recently, I'm seeing MMC hangs at boot, and I haven't tracked down what's changed. I haven't implemented SMP yet. Just like the 2836, the firmware has the secondaries spinlooping in a little bit of firmware memory, watching a channel of the the inter-processor mailboxes. When the secondary sees the channel get a value, it jumps to it. This is the same on the new 64-bit chips, even though the register we're communicating through is only 32 bits. So, in my branch I hacked smp_spin_table.c to only writel. I was thinking I might be able to add a DT parameter (cpu-release-size = <4>? cpu-release-size-32?) to control using writel vs writeq. However, I'm getting weird IPIs immediately after: [ 0.795797] Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 2048 (order: 2, 16384 bytes) [ 0.959619] release addr 0x000000004000009c [ 1.041792] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x11 [ 1.121542] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x13 [ 1.201522] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x16 [ 1.281106] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x17 [ 1.361320] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x19 [ 1.440721] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x1b [ 1.521121] release addr 0x00000000400000ac [ 1.603336] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x11 [ 1.683298] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x13 [ 1.763220] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x16 [ 1.842886] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x17 [ 1.922792] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x19 [ 2.002674] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x1b [ 2.082831] release addr 0x00000000400000bc [ 2.164807] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x11 [ 2.245091] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x13 [ 2.325265] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x16 [ 2.405086] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x17 [ 2.485416] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x19 [ 2.565068] CPU0: Unknown IPI message 0x1b [ 2.645891] ASID allocator initialised with 65536 entries [ 2.784436] EFI services will not be available.

[ 6.361572] CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2 so something's still broken, but the boot continues. With MMC drivers disabled, I get to the point of trying NFS root mounting, except that DWC2 hasn't found the network adapter (there's a probe of a root hub, then nothing else). Not clear if this is a 64-bit specific problem or what. Just thought people might like to know how things are going for aarch64 on the Pi. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
