From 64ee263e20611fae9ddf0ee4a8fcfeb6fbc724ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeenu Viswambharan Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 15:17:03 +0100 Subject: DynamIQ: Enable MMU without using stack Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems. This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces MMU-enabling without using stacks. Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same time. NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2, disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.
