From: Paul Burton Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 10:18:57 +0000 (+0100) Subject: MIPS: Ensure Config.K0=2 applies before any memory accesses X-Git-Tag: v2016.11-rc1~120^2~16 X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c5b8412d60e22b49348a63848cbf7b6ab5ccb16e;p=u-boot MIPS: Ensure Config.K0=2 applies before any memory accesses During boot we set Config.K0=2 (uncached) such that any accesses to the kseg0 memory region are performed uncached before the caches are initialised. This write to the Config register introduces an execution hazard between it & any following memory accesses (such as the load of _gp), which we need to clear in order to ensure those memory accesses are actually performed uncached. Clear this execution hazard with the insertion of an ehb execution hazard barrier instruction.
