[PATCH] arc: Flush and invalidate caches on start

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

 



This is useful to make sure no stale data exists in caches after bootloaders.
The worst thing could be some lines of cache were locked in a bootloader
for example during DDR recalibration and never unlocked. This may lead
to really unpredictable issues later down the line.
