[PATCH v2] efi/arm: enable CP15 DMB instructions before cleaning the cache

[PATCH v2] efi/arm: enable CP15 DMB instructions before cleaning the cache

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The EFI stub is entered with the caches and MMU enabled by the
firmware, and once the stub is ready to hand over to the decompressor,
we clean and disable the caches.

The cache clean routines use CP15 barrier instructions, which can be
disabled via SCTLR. Normally, when using the provided cache handling
routines to enable the caches and MMU, this bit is enabled as well.
However, but since we entered the stub with the caches already enabled,
this routine is not executed before we call the cache clean routines,
resulting in undefined instruction exceptions if the firmware never
enabled this bit.

So set the bit explicitly in the EFI entry code, but do so in a way that
guarantees that the resulting code can still run on v6 cores as well
(which are guaranteed to have CP15 barriers enabled)

Russell, do you mind if I take this through the EFI tree? I had
trouble logging into your patch system (it no longer recognizes my
email address but when I try to re-create the account, my name is
already taken)

Yes, duplicate accounts can't be created, but there is also a forgotten

I've just checked and I can log in fine.

Fixed, consequence of the upgrades back in January, requiring a

the new password as a result of my testing.

Thanks for reporting the problem - that's the only way problems
get fixed!
