Hi
commit 2f3427ccb915c6f6774f0bcebb67c648dc25dcfd
Author: Ilya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com>
Date: Mon Nov 28 06:37:32 2011 +0000
arm926ejs: add noop implementation for dcache ops
breaks zmx25 booting with the following command:
tftpboot 0x82000000 foo.img; dcache on; bootm 0x82000000
It is stuck then in an endless loop after dcache is disabled before
jumping to the OS.
------------------------------------------------
WARNING: cache operations are not implemented!
WARNING: disabling D-Cache now, you can re-enable itlater with 'dcache
on' command
------------------------------------------------
Switching on dcache after the tftp worked without problems until this
patch. I think this should be fixed before the release as it may have
effects on other boards doing similar things.

Argh.. That's really bad. May I ask you to debug this a little bit?
What is exact cache function being called? Where from?
How comes that dcache_status() returns true after dcache_disable()? Or
does somebody call dcache_enable() in between?
Regards, Ilya.

The call trace in may case should be something like (not debuged, only
looked at the code):
cmd_elf.c : do_bootelf()
cmd_elf.c : do_bootelf_exec()
cache-cp15.c : dcache_disable()
cache-cp15.c : cache_disable(CR_C); -> Cache is not disabled in this
function before
cache.c : flush_dcache_all(); is called
cache.c : dcache_noop();
cache-cp15.c : dcache_status() -> returns true
cache-cp15.c : dcache_disable()
cache-cp15.c : cache_disable(CR_C)
cache.c : flush_dcache_all();
....
And we have the endless loop. I think this impacts not only zmx25 but
other boards enabling dcache.
If you need additional informations: I will have access to the board on
monday again.

Commit 2f3427c added noop cache functions implementation for arm926ejs
to fix compilation of drivers depending on these functions (DaVinci
EMAC in particular).
Unfortunately, the bug was introduced: noop implementation calls
dcache_disable which calls flush_dcache_all which in turn calls
dcache_disable thus creating an infinite loop.
This patch removes noop implementation for flush_dcache_all, we already
have default one in arch/arm/lib/cache.c and it should be used instead.

Hi Matthias,
thanks for cathing this. Surely my initial patch was totally wrong.
Could you please test this one?
Regards, Ilya.
