2015-04-14ArmPkg: remove cache maintenance by VA operation range size thresholdArd Biesheuvel
This removes the range size threshold for virtual address based cache maintenance instructions that operate on VA ranges to be 'promoted' to use set/way instructions. Doing so is unsafe: set/way operations are fundamentally different from VA operations, and really only suitable for cleaning or invalidating a cache when turning it on or off. To quote the ARM ARM (DDI0487A_d G3.4): """ Since the set/way instructions are performed only locally, there is no guarantee of the atomicity of cache maintenance between different PEs, even if those different PEs are each performing the same cache maintenance instructions at the same time. Since any cacheable line can be allocated into the cache at any time, it is possible for [a] cache line to migrate from an entry in the cache of one PE to the cache of a different PE in a manner that the cache line avoids being affected by set/way based cache maintenance. Therefore, ARM strongly discourages the use of set/way instructions to manage coherency in coherent systems.

2013-01-25ARM Packages: Fixed line endingsoliviermartin
This large code change only modifies the line endings to be CRLF to be compliant with the EDK2 coding convention document. git-svn-id: https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2@14088 6f19259b-4bc3-4df7-8a09-765794883524

2010-01-12Need to add some extra functions to the libraries to support paging in the ↵AJFISH
CpuDxe driver (still working on that). Also looks like some of the .INF file hade the token used to search replace the copyright headers and not the headers so I updated that. git-svn-id: https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2@9716 6f19259b-4bc3-4df7-8a09-765794883524
2009-12-06Adding support for BeagleBoard. AJFISH
ArmPkg - Supoprt for ARM specific things that can change as the architecture changes. Plus semihosting JTAG drivers. EmbeddedPkg - Generic support for an embeddded platform. Including a light weight command line shell. BeagleBoardPkg - Platform specifics for BeagleBoard. SD Card works, but USB has issues. Looks like a bug in the open source USB stack (Our internal stack works fine). git-svn-id: https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2@9518 6f19259b-4bc3-4df7-8a09-765794883524
