FIT checksum validation is very slow in SPL due to D-cache not being enabled.
Enable caches in SPL on ARM64 SoCs to speed up FIT checksum validation, from seconds to milliseconds.
This change enables caches in SPL on all Rockchip ARM64 boards, the Kconfig options SPL_SYS_ICACHE_OFF and SPL_SYS_DCACHE_OFF can be used to disable caches for a specific board or SoC if needed.
Signed-off-by: Jonas Karlman jonas@kwiboo.se Reviewed-by: Kever Yang kever.yang@rock-chips.com --- Changes in v3: - Limit to ARM64 SoCs - Fix build with SPL_SYS_ICACHE_OFF or SPL_SYS_DCACHE_OFF enabled - Use cleanup_before_linux() in spl_board_prepare_for_boot() to disable caches before jumping from SPL to next stage - Collect r-b tag
Changes in v2: - None
This has been tested on multiple RK3328, RK3399, RK356x and RK3588 boards without any issues, vendor U-Boot also enables caches in SPL for all SoCs.
This only worked on RK3288 because the default enable_caches() that does not enable caches was being used. Trying to enable caches on my RK3288 froze my boards in mmu_setup(). So v3 limits the enable_caches() call to only include ARM64 SoCs.
