[sh7785lcr proto] fails to boot since commit 6430a5987f8bb9a7c5187b343956aa8ef404d571

[Raúl Porcel]

Hello list,

I tried some weeks to upgrade the sh7785lcr prototype board using 32bits
to the latest released kernel(2.6.34.something). I've also tried with
latest git.

However it fails to boot:

I've bisected it and found this commit the culprit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6.git;a=commit;hd30a5987f8bb9a7c5187b343956aa8ef404d571

Using a commit before this one, it boots, and applying this patch to
that commit, fails.

Reverting this commit on current git, still doesn't boot.

Needless to say, 29bit mode still works...

Talking with mfleming on #linux-sh(he did the commit, he suggested me
the following:
<snip>
<mfleming> when the board resets can you read the value of address
0xff00000c from uboot and see if it contains 0x80000000 ?
<armin76> mfleming:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/sh/sh7785lcr.32bitproto.config
<mfleming> (that's the TLB exception register)
<armin76> notice that the only change between defconfig and this one is
the proto thing and the mem address and size
<armin76> mfleming: ok, let me check...
<armin76> when it resets you mean when i use the latest git kernel and
starts over, right? :)
<mfleming> yes, or when you use the kernel that head my commit as HEAD.
do they both reset?
<mfleming> s/head/has/
<armin76> yes
<armin76> both do the same
<mfleming> either one is fine then
<mfleming> but if you use mine it'll be easier to debug
<mfleming> my commit, i mean
<armin76> sure, lets see...
<armin76> mfleming:  md 0xff00000c
<armin76> ff00000c: 80000000 2c000000 00000000 00000000    .......,........
<mfleming> wait, are you still at the uboot prompt?
<mfleming> what's in 0xff000020 ?
<armin76> yes
<armin76> md 0xff000020
<armin76> ff000020: 00000000 00000140 00000000 00000000    ....@...........
<mfleming> aha!
<mfleming> multipl TLB hit exception
<mfleming> err, multiple

By Matt Fleming's request i've tested latest git again, and turns out
that if i run the 'pmb' command on the 32bit uboot, the kernel boots.

So i believe this is 'fixed'.

Yes, This is correct.
If you want to boot 32bit kernel, you need run pmb command.

This has always been the case though, so I'm confused as to what you
think changed between the older and current kernels?
