[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] Errata/ARM57: Add basic constructs to handle and apply A57 specific erratas

This patch adds basic constructs in the ARMv8 u-boot code to handle and apply Cortex-A57 specific erratas.
As and example, the framework showcases how erratas 833069, 826974 and 828024 can be handled and applied.
Later on this framework can be extended to include other erratas.

Bhupesh,
Have you tested the new code? I don't think it handles LR correctly. Your code will be stuck.

Bhupesh,

Yes, I have tested this on both the LS2085A simulator and emulator platforms. On emulator I tried u-boot boot-to-prompt and on simulator I tried linux boot-to-prompt. Both seem to be working fine.

Has the apply_a57_core_errata function definitely been called in your tests?
If so the lr should point immediately after it (i.e. at the ret), and so the ret should branch to itself, repeatedly.
Mark.

Bhupesh,

Yes, I have tested this on both the LS2085A simulator and emulator
platforms.
On emulator I tried u-boot boot-to-prompt and on simulator I tried
linux boot-to-prompt.
Both seem to be working fine.
Has the apply_a57_core_errata function definitely been called in your tests?
If so the lr should point immediately after it (i.e. at the ret), and so the ret should branch to itself, repeatedly.
Thanks for the pointers. Let me connect a debugger and see the step-by-step flow through the apply_a57_core_errata.
I will revert with the findings soon.
Regards, Bhupesh

That's what I thought. I wonder how Bhupesh tested on the simulator.

This is awkward. How often are you expecting to use this macro? Why not just open-code it? Or at least make it "branch_if_not_a57_core". Or fix your lr problem by doing "branch_if_a57_core apply_a57_core_errata" and having it branch back rather than "ret".
But I think opencoding would be best. Just define symbols for the actual core IDs.

How about implementing a table mapping core IDs to entry points (of the "apply_*_core_errata" fns) and iterating over that table here? That will make it easy to add new cores in future too.
Thanks Arnab
