Hi Ahmad, I think I've found the problem with my imx7d: in your commit id ae0a375ba71ba9b9a70cb7eda177445fcfbf586d: ARM: cache-armv7: remove duplicate domain initialization ... you removed the two asm lines: movne r1, #-1 mcrne p15, 0, r1, c3, c0, 0 @ load domain access control from arch/arm/cpu/cache-armv7.S If I add them back then the imx7d does not hang anymore and the kernel is able to boot and power up the second core as expected. I have just one last question: what is the reason for the 'mov r12, lr' at the beginning of v7_mmu_cache_on ? giorgio On 3/27/20 11:01 AM, Ahmad Fatoum wrote: > Hello, > > On 3/27/20 9:27 AM, Giorgio wrote: >> Hi, >> >> maybe 'crash' was not the best word to describe the effect I see; >> >> the bootloader just stops running, never returns from the call >> to __mmu_cache_on(), there's no debug messages or stack dumps; >> in this case the kernel image is not started. >> >> I think on my arch / soc __mmu_cache_on() calls some asm coded function >> defined in arch/arm/cpu/cache-armv7.S (v7_mmu_cache_on) and one >> of the opcodes there crashes the cpu directly.
