No, I use L1_CACHE_SHIFT to determine the size of cache_line. When I flush cache for a range of memory, I need the size to loop flush cache line. > > +config SSEG0_BASE > > + hex "Direct mapping physical address" > > + default 0x0 > > + help > > + There are MSAx regs can be used to change the base physical address > > + of direct mapping.

Not I use it, some of our users need it to expand the GPIO irqs. Because they don't use irq domain code properly.

Most of our boards use bootloader to pass the dtb, but Hangzhou Nationalchip want dtb compiled in the vmlinux.

This is from "gcc-4.5 compile linux-4.7" and it will cause wrong code without -fno-tree-dse for list.h. Now we use gcc-6.3, so I will try to remove it. > > +++ b/arch/csky/abiv1/Makefile > > @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ > > +obj-y += src/bswapdi.o > > +obj-y += src/bswapsi.o > > +obj-y += src/cacheflush.o > > +obj-y += src/memcpy.o > > +obj-y += src/mmap.o > > + > > +obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_NEED_SOFTALIGN) += src/alignment.o > > Better not use subdirectories like that. Ok, I will change them like this: obj-y += bswapdi.o obj-y += bswapsi.o ... > Can you explain why you need the alignement fixups? For abiv1 ck610 couldn't handle the unalignment address access, so we need soft-alignment exception to fixup. There is no problem in abiv2 cpus. Best Regards Guo Ren
