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.

2014-06-03ArmPkg/ArmLib: Drain Write Buffer before DCache maintenance operations.Olivier Martin
Cache maintenance operations by Set/Way require that the Write Buffer be drained before the cache is flushed. Without that, the flush can miss the most recent values written as they are still "pipelined". That has unfortunate consequences, especially where code is being copied to RAM. The fix is to add DSB instructions before the affected operations.

2010-01-14Added support for L2 (4K) page tables and made the CPU driver change ↵AJFISH
cachability attributes on request. Also got the DebugUncache infrastructure working for the first time. Looks like it works for the simple case. Checking in so we can get more eyes looking at the code. git-svn-id: https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2@9734 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
