From 44c51058909ccba2461aca78aa9de131b47b49da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Bresticker Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 13:51:50 -0800 Subject: libpayload: mips: Do not set C0_EBase_WG The WG (write gate) bit in C0_EBase allows the upper two bits of the exception base address to be set to something other than 2'b10, thus allowing it to be relocated out of the traditional KSEG{0,1} range. Since we're not using the segmentation features introduced by EVA to relocate the unmapped segments, the exception vectors should remain in KSEG0. Don't set the WG bit so that the upper two bits of the exception base (2'b00, because of the identity mapping) are ignored and we execute the exception vectors out of KSEG0. BUG=chrome-os-partner:36258 BRANCH=none TEST=Build and boot on Pistachio.
