From bb021013ba1ea4f7ade55ed932ab9d807e8a09ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukasz Majewski Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 12:28:10 +0200 Subject: gpt: Use cache aligned buffers for gpt_h and gpt_e 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.
