The following is the cleanup sequence in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/cpu.c
int cleanup_before_linux(void)
{
...
...
dcache_disable();
v7_outer_cache_disable();
invalidate_dcache_all();
}
1) invalidate_dcache_all call expects that all the caches has been
flushed, invalidated and there are no dirty entries prior to its
execution. In the above sequence dcache_disable() flushes, invalidates
the caches and turns off the mmu. But after it cleanups the cache
and before the mmu is disabled there is a cp_delay() function which
has STR instruction. On certain cores like the cortex-a15, cache hit
and a write can happen to a cache line even when the dcache is
disabled. So the above mentioned STR instruction creates a dirty entry
after cleaning. The mmu gets disabled after this.
2) invalidate_dcache_all invalidates the cache lines. Again on
cores like cortex-a15, invalidate instruction flushes the dirty
line as well. So some times the dirty line from sequence 1
can corrupt the memory resulting in a crash.
Fixing this by moving the get_cr() and cp_delay() calls before
cleaning up the cache, thus avoiding the dirty entry.
