That didn't fix things, but I noticed this morning there are PL310 errata workarounds too that we should have enabled: PL310_ERRATA_769419 PL310_ERRATA_727915 PL310_ERRATA_588369I had all the above enabled in my config which doesn't help either.Thanks for letting me know, that's saved me from a tedious morning of testing. Though did you also have the A9 errata enabled?
Yes I tried multi_v7_defconfig which has all the errata's enabled for A9
BTW, I noticed the PL310 Cache ID reports RTL version 3, which doesn't appear in the list of versions in cache-l2x0.h and doesn't match the TRM shipped on the vexpress CD, which is for version 2 (r1p0).
Yes I remember having similar observations from past. IIRC, it's one of the earliest version used on that core-tile(which generally is the case on few early versions of test chips)
Anyway, I'll test various Linux versions with the L2 cache removed from device-tree to see if that reliably fixes things.
Thanks, but would like to see what Russell thinks about this approach before you want to spend more time on that. -- Regards, Sudeep
