[RFC 1/4] Misc: SRAM: Create helpers for loading C code into SRAM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit adds helpers for loading, tracking, and running code from
SRAM. Some platforms need to run code from SRAM, such as during
suspend/resume when the access to SDRAM is disabled.

Currently, this is done in assembly. By using the assembler, labels can
be added in order to mark the size of the code, and areas can be added
for position independent access to data for when the code is copied
into SRAM. As more and more such code is added, the maintenance
burden grows.

This commit adds mechanisms to allow C code to be run from SRAM.
The first step is to put code and data that will be needed when running
from SRAM into special sections. The sections should follow the naming
convention of .sram.<sram_user>.<section_name>. For example:

#define __sram_am33xx           __section(.sram.am33xx.text)
#define __sram_am33xxdata   __section(.sram.am33xx.data)

Functions can then be marked with __sram_am33xx and data with
__sram_am33xxdata. These sections and markers to them can be added
to the kernel image by inserting a "SRAM_SECTIONS(<sram_user>)" into
your architecture's vmlinux.lds.S file.

A call to sram_load_sections("<sram_dt_path>", <sram_user>) will copy
the sections into SRAM:

sram_load_sections("/ocp/ocmcram@40300000", am33xx);

Because the code is now relocated to SRAM, special accessors must
be used when accessing functions or variables.

 - kern_to_sram(ptr): Translate a pointer to a function or variable that
is contained in a .sram.<sram_user>.* section to the address it has
been loaded to in SRAM. For instance, when calling a function in
sram, one would use: "ret = kern_to_sram(&am33xx_suspend)(flags);"

- sram_to_phys(addr): Translate an pointer into SRAM to a physical
address. This is useful for obtaining a physical pointer to a resume
function contained in SRAM.

Any compilation unit that will be copied to SRAM that accesses other
functions or variables that are also copied to SRAM should be
compiled with -fPIC as calling the kern_to_sram accessors
requires reads from SDRAM.

Functions within a SRAM section group can access functions and
data also within the same SRAM section group without using
kern_to_sram accessors so long as the unit is compiled with -fPIC.
Care should be taken to use a method for obtaining an absolute
address when accessing functions or data outside of the SRAM
section group.
