2009-12-14ARM: cache-l2x0: make better use of background cache handlingRussell King
There's no point having the hardware support background operations if we issue a cache operation, and then wait for it to complete before calculating the address of the next operation. We gain no advantage in the cache controller stalling the bus until completion. What we should be doing is using the 'wait' time productively by calculating the address of the next operation, and only then waiting for the previous operation to complete. This means that cache operations can occur in parallel with the CPU calculating the next address.

2009-12-14ARM: cache-l2x0: avoid taking spinlock for every iterationRussell King
Taking the spinlock for every iteration is very expensive; instead, batch iterations up into 4K blocks, releasing and reacquiring the spinlock between each block. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-12-03ARM: 5845/1: l2x0: check whether l2x0 already enabledSrinidhi Kasagar
If running in non-secure mode accessing some registers of l2x0 will fault. So check if l2x0 is already enabled, if so do not access those secure registers.

2007-09-17[ARM] 4568/1: fix l2x0 cache invalidate handling of unaligned addressesRui Sousa
The l2x0_inv_range() function doesn't handle unaligned addresses correctly. It's necessary to clean the cache lines that are at the start and end of the invalidate range, if the addresses are not aligned, to prevent corruption of other data sharing the same cache line.

2007-07-20[ARM] 4500/1: Add locking around the background L2x0 cache operationsCatalin Marinas
The background operations of the L2x0 cache controllers are aborted if another operation is issued on the same or different core. This patch protects the maintenance operation issuing/polling with a spinlock. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-02-11[ARM] 4135/1: Add support for the L210/L220 cache controllersCatalin Marinas
This patch adds the support for the L210/L220 (outer) cache controller. The cache range operations are done by index/way since L2 cache controller only accepts physical addresses. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
