From 041d42e789aba20296ffcde92173f100a9592880 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siarhei Siamashka Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:56:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] OMAP3: workaround for ARM Cortex-A8 erratum 725233 725233: PLD instructions executed with PLD data forwarding enabled can result in a processor deadlock This deadlock can happen when NEON load instructions are used together with cache preload instructions (PLD). The problematic conditions can be triggered in-the-wild by NEON optimized functions from pixman library (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman), which perform dynamic adjustment of prefetch distance. The workaround disables PLD data forwarding by setting PLD_FWD bit in L2 Cache Auxiliary Control Register as recommended in ARM Cortex-A8 errata list. The deadlock can only happen on r1pX revisions of Cortex-A8 (used in OMAP34xx/OMAP35xx). Performance impact of the workaround is practically non-existant.
