Hello,
I am working on EL2 mode ARM V8 ,
Problem I am facing when I enable D-cache then I am not able to read the data.
My boot flow is EL3 to EL2 and in EL2 snippet of code is below
1 stp x29, x30 [sp,#32]
2 mrs x0, sctlr_el2
3 orr x0, x0, #CTRL_C_BIT
4 msr sctlr_el2, x0
5 ldp x29, x30 [sp,#32]
Here I checked all x30, sp etc are valid and point to valid memory and this DDR location is accessible from other core.
After line 4, at line 5 I am getting random values in x29, x30
In case i comment lune 4, then boot works fine,
I am wondering , why this enable cache is leading to bad behavior
FYI,
If I stay in EL3 mode only then changing above code like
2 mrs x0, sctlr_el3
4 msr sctlr_el3, x0
works fine as well.
Thanks for help, why enabling d-cache in EL2 mode is leading to random/corrupted values
thx
Hi Schick
To update here, I got things working,
For this I need to flush L3 cache in EL3 before switching to EL2
Hi uditknit
Could you tell me how to flush L3 cache in EL3?
