BMIPS5000 and BMIPS5200 processor have no D cache aliases, and this is properly handled by the per-CPU override added at the end of r4k_cache_init(), the problem is that the output of probe_pcache() disagrees with that, since this is too late: Primary instruction cache 32kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 64 bytes. Primary data cache 32kB, 4-way, VIPT, cache aliases, linesize 32 bytes With the change moved earlier, we now have a consistent output with the settings we are intending to have: Primary instruction cache 32kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 64 bytes. Primary data cache 32kB, 4-way, VIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes Fixes: d74b0172e4e2c ("MIPS: BMIPS: Add special cache handling in c-r4k.c") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c b/arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c index 15ee3d94688e..eb1588206a6a 100644 --- a/arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c +++ b/arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c @@ -1311,6 +1311,8 @@ static void probe_pcache(void) case CPU_BMIPS5000: c->icache.flags |= MIPS_CACHE_IC_F_DC; + /* Cache aliases are handled in hardware; allow HIGHMEM */ + c->dcache.flags &= ~MIPS_CACHE_ALIASES; break; case CPU_LOONGSON2: @@ -1750,8 +1752,6 @@ void r4k_cache_init(void) flush_icache_range = (void *)b5k_instruction_hazard; local_flush_icache_range = (void *)b5k_instruction_hazard; - /* Cache aliases are handled in hardware; allow HIGHMEM */ - current_cpu_data.dcache.flags &= ~MIPS_CACHE_ALIASES; /* Optimization: an L2 flush implicitly flushes the L1 */ current_cpu_data.options |= MIPS_CPU_INCLUSIVE_CACHES; -- 2.1.0
