Re: ARMADAXP MV78260 CPU-1:failed to come online

Hi Thomas & Andrew,

Thanks for quick response.


Kernel Release

I am trying latest stable release from kernel.org -->linux-4.0.3.

I have seen this issue in linux-3.10.39 & linux-3.10.32 for which
Marvell has provided lsp.

This issue doesnt crop up in older version like linux-3.2.40 &
linux-3.2.52 with uImage

Not sure but I think this is something do with zImage & device tree combination.



U-Boot Release

U-Boot version is u-boot-2011.12 with Marvell provided bin-header &
board support packages (2014_T2.0)

I found one issue with u-boot, L2C init was failing because bootz
command was deleting entries of l2-cache dtb entry while it resizes
FDT in memory before actual booting.

I corrected this error by by-passing the L2C FDT resize section. Now
kernel correctly initializes Aurora cache controller with L2 1MB 16
ways.



Kernel Configuartion

I am using mvebu_v7_defconfig & enabling necessary options. I have
attached .config file which I am using along with this mail.

I have tried to use armada-xp-gp.dts file along with
armada-xp-mv78260.dtsi included in it.

Please find them attached to mail.



The complete boot log

Boot log is attached to mail. I have enabled enaFDTdebug.




Note:

*In function armada_xp_boot_secondary which setsup bootaddr of
remaining cpus I have  printed the values of CPU-1 PM registers.

Physical address of CPU PM Registers : 0xF1022100 -->iormapped->f002a000

CPU-1 PM Registers:0xF102a200(v)

0xF102a224 contains physical address of armada_xp_secondary_startup (0x21bb54)


Physical address of CPU-1 S/W Reset Register: 0xF1020808
-->ioremapped->0xF1028808

value after bringing CPU-1 out of reset in 0xF1028808 is 0x100



Kindly ignore my enthusiasm if I have tried to give you information
which you already know(CPU PM & Software Reset Registers).


Also I have tried your SCU patch for arch/arm/kernel/head.S but has no effect.
