With system caches for the host OS or architected caches for guest OS we cannot easily guarantee that there are no dirty or stale cache lines for the areas of memory written by the kernel during boot with the MMU off (therefore non-cacheable accesses). This patch adds the necessary cache maintenance during boot and relaxes the booting requirements. Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Currently we flush the entire dcache at boot within __cpu_setup, but this is unnecessary as the booting protocol demands that the dcache is invalid and off upon entering the kernel. The presence of the cache flush only serves to hide bugs in bootloaders, and is not safe in the presence of SMP. In an SMP boot scenario the CPUs enter coherency outside of the kernel, and the primary CPU enables its caches before bringing up secondary CPUs. Therefore if any secondary CPU has an entry in its cache (in violation of the boot protocol), the primary CPU might snoop it even if the secondary CPU's cache is disabled. The boot-time cache flush only serves to hide a firmware bug, and slows down a cpu boot unnecessarily. This patch removes the unnecessary boot-time cache flush.

Fix the function name of comment of __flush_dcache_area, because __flush_dcache_area is the correct name. Also, the missing variable 'size' is added to the comment. Signed-off-by: NJingoo Han <jg1.han@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

The format of the lower 32-bits of the 64-bit operand to 'dc cisw' is unchanged from ARMv7 architecture and the upper bits are RES0. This implies that the 'way' field of the operand of 'dc cisw' occupies the bit-positions [31 .. (32-A)]. Due to the use of 64-bit extended operands to 'clz', the existing implementation of __flush_dcache_all is incorrectly placing the 'way' field in the bit-positions [63 .. (64-A)].

The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64 architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
