The patch you ended up at is stopping barebox from runnning in manager domain. This is necessary to avoid speculative execution on memory mapped IO regions. With manager domain, you can access/execute everything. Without, you will have to clear the eXecute Never bit for regions you need to execute. It's cleared by default for the SDRAM banks and for the barebox text section. SRAM or BootROM that's jumped into after MMU setup need to be explicitly marked as executable. That said, I am not sure why it breaks.. I've got myself an i.MX7D and will take a look the coming days where it goes wrong. If you have new info/patches to share in the meanwhile, please do. :) > 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 ? It looks like a left-over. 837795895801e6c3 ("ARM __mmu_cache_*: Do not clobber registers") made it obsolete.
