Disabling I-cache:
|
||
|
|
- Set CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Disabling D-cache:
|
||
|
|
- Set CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enabling I-cache:
|
||
|
|
- Make sure CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF is not set and call icache_enable().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enabling D-cache:
|
||
|
|
- Make sure CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF is not set and call dcache_enable().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enabling Caches at System Startup:
|
||
|
|
- Implement enable_caches() for your platform and enable the I-cache and
|
||
|
|
D-cache from this function. This function is called immediately
|
||
|
|
after relocation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Guidelines for Working with D-cache:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Memory to Peripheral DMA:
|
||
|
|
- Flush the buffer after the MPU writes the data and before the DMA is
|
||
|
|
initiated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Peripheral to Memory DMA:
|
||
|
|
- Invalidate the buffer before starting the DMA. In case there are any dirty
|
||
|
|
lines from the DMA buffer in the cache, subsequent cache-line replacements
|
||
|
|
may corrupt the buffer in memory while the DMA is still going on. Cache-line
|
||
|
|
replacement can happen if the CPU tries to bring some other memory locations
|
||
|
|
into the cache while the DMA is going on.
|
||
|
|
- Invalidate the buffer after the DMA is complete and before the MPU reads
|
||
|
|
it. This may be needed in addition to the invalidation before the DMA
|
||
|
|
mentioned above, because in some processors memory contents can spontaneously
|
||
|
|
come to the cache due to speculative memory access by the CPU. If this
|
||
|
|
happens with the DMA buffer while DMA is going on we have a coherency problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Buffer Requirements:
|
||
|
|
- Any buffer that is invalidated(that is, typically the peripheral to
|
||
|
|
memory DMA buffer) should be aligned to cache-line boundary both at
|
||
|
|
at the beginning and at the end of the buffer.
|
||
|
|
- If the buffer is not cache-line aligned invalidation will be restricted
|
||
|
|
to the aligned part. That is, one cache-line at the respective boundary
|
||
|
|
may be left out while doing invalidation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cleanup Before Linux:
|
||
|
|
- cleanup_before_linux() should flush the D-cache, invalidate I-cache, and
|
||
|
|
disable MMU and caches.
|
||
|
|
- The following sequence is advisable while disabling d-cache:
|
||
|
|
1. disable_dcache() - flushes and disables d-cache
|
||
|
|
2. invalidate_dcache_all() - invalid any entry that came to the cache
|
||
|
|
in the short period after the cache was flushed but before the
|
||
|
|
cache got disabled.
