From c0e6769a82f79a0fc20baa9257ebd17b1cecf4fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugeniy Paltsev Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 21:52:25 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ARC: Invalidate instruction and data caches early on boot This is useful to make sure no stale data exists in caches after bootloaders. The worst thing could be some lines of cache were locked in a bootloader for example during DDR recalibration and never unlocked. This may lead to really unpredictable issues later down the line.
