[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: bugfix: Move vector table before jumping relocated code

[Tetsuyuki Kobayashi]

Interrupts and exceptions doesn't work in relocated code.
It badly use IRQ_STACK_START_IN in rom area as interrupt stack.
It is because the vecotr table is not moved to ram area.
This patch moves vector table before jumping relocated code.

CC'ing in some Tegra people.

Tetsuyuki, you probably want to CC some OMAP people too.

Thank you. 
I don't know proper person to CC because I am very new in this ML.
I need some help ..

'#if condition' in my patch is the same as the code setting VBAR right after reset.

I imagine the primary ARM custodian and the TI ARM sub-arch custodian
(both now CC'd) would be a good place to start. You'd need to CC them
anyway in order to get this patch checked in.

I think this code should get boot tested on a few platforms to make sure
it's OK.  As such, I've tried on am335x and omap3 and they're still
fine.

Tom, thank you for testing.

Easy way to test this patch.
Jump any bad address using go command on U-boot prompt.

Good restult:

 > go 0x0badc0de
## Starting application at 0x0BADC0DE ...
undefined instruction

Why is c12 (VBAR) setup only for SPL builds? Because main u-boot does
relocation too, shouldn't we setup c12 to point to new table addr
after relocation?

Also how do interrupts (irq/fiq) work at all in U-boot if c12 is  not
setup to point to the new vector table address after relocation?

Thanks,
Joel
