2016-01-13Fix board init code to respect the C runtime environmentAlbert ARIBAUD
board_init_f_mem() alters the C runtime environment's stack it is actually already using. This is not a valid behaviour within a C runtime environment. Split board_init_f_mem into C functions which do not alter their own stack and always behave properly with respect to their C runtime environment.

2015-07-01arc: significant cache reworkAlexey Brodkin
[1] Align cache management functions to those in Linux kernel. I.e.: a) Use the same functions for all cache ops (D$ Inv/Flush) b) Split cache ops in 3 sub-functions: "before", "lineloop" and "after". That way we may re-use "before" and "after" functions for region and full cache ops. [2] Implement full-functional L2 (SLC) management. Before SLC was simply disabled early on boot. It's also possible to enable or disable L2 cache from config utility. [3] Disable/enable corresponding caches early on boot. So if U-Boot is configured to use caches they will be used at all times (this is useful in partucular for speed-up of relocation). Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
2015-04-03arc: add support for SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache)Alexey Brodkin
ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache). This change adds functions required for controlling SLC: * slc_enable/disable * slc_flush/invalidate For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either: * SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot * hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for controlling SLC explicitly) Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
2015-04-03arc: get rid of CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATAAlexey Brodkin
As discussed on mailing list we're drifting away from CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA in favour to use of board_init_f_mem() for global data. So do this for ARC architecture. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
2015-04-03arc: clean-up init procedureAlexey Brodkin
Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written code as it is possible. In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc. It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86. Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer setup before and after relocation. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> Cc: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2015-04-03arc: move low-level interrupt and exception handlers in a separate fileAlexey Brodkin
This separation makes maintenance of code easier because those low-level interrupt- or exception handling routines are pretty static and usually require not much care while start-up code is a subject of modifications and enhancements. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
2015-04-03arc: merge common start-up code between ARC and ARCv2Alexey Brodkin
Even though ARCompact and ARCv2 are not binary compatible most of assembly instructions are used in both. With this change we'll get rid of duplicate code. Still IVTs are implemented differently so we're keeping them in separate files. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
