Before this patch one could receive following errors when executing "gpt write" command on machine with cache enabled:
display5 factory > gpt write mmc ${mmcdev} ${partitions} Writing GPT: CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4ef8f7f0, 4ef8f9f0] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4ef8f9f8, 4ef939f8] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4ef8f9f8, 4ef939f8] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4ef8f7f0, 4ef8f9f0] success!
To alleviate this problem - the calloc()s have been replaced with malloc_cache_aligned() and memset().
After those changes the buffers are properly aligned (with both start address and size) to SoC cache line.
Any feedback?
This patch seems like a good candidate for v2017.11 (as a fix to gpt command)
Best regards,
