From 348c2298a6fd2b145e789739808d5e7598e275fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Hao Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:09:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Don't flush/invalidate the d/icache for an unknown relocation type For an unknown relocation type since the value of r4 is just the 8bit relocation type, the sum of r4 and r7 may yield an invalid memory address. For example: In normal case: r4 = c00xxxxx r7 = 40000000 r4 + r7 = 000xxxxx For an unknown relocation type: r4 = 000000xx r7 = 40000000 r4 + r7 = 400000xx 400000xx is an invalid memory address for a board which has just 512M memory. And for operations such as dcbst or icbi may cause bus error for an invalid memory address on some platforms and then cause the board reset. So we should skip the flush/invalidate the d/icache for an unknown relocation type. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao Acked-by: Suzuki K.
