    ARM: 8276/1: Make CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE depend on !SMP · e1e2f6e4
    Florian Fainelli authored
    Enabling CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE on a SMP capable system will prevent the
    kernel from booting because of the following ldrex instruction in
    arch_spin_lock:
    
    (gdb) x/10i $pc
    => 0xc053cfa8 <_raw_spin_lock+4>:       ldrex   r3, [r0]
       0xc053cfac <_raw_spin_lock+8>:       add     r2, r3, #65536  ; 0x10000
    
    which is taken by the very first printk call:
    
        at /home/fainelli/work/linux/arch/arm/include/asm/spinlock.h:65
        fmt=0xc0637650 " 01 66Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x%xn", args=<incomplete type>)
        at kernel/printk/printk.c:1525
        fmt=0xc05370f4 <printk+52> " 24320215342 04340235344 20320215342 36377/341 17") at kernel/printk/printk.c:1688
    
    ldrex requires exclusive monitor(s) (local or global) which are no longer
    working when the Data cache is disabled in CP15 and will just hang the CPU
    there.
