Re: [Xen-users] Running Xen on ARM Juno r0

[N Jain <jain61@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

T0SZ value can not be 0 as ARMv8 spec specifies the table for its values based on supported PA size and page table granule.

Also I am using Xen 4.5 release but not able to get pass Head.S.Â

Do you pass any command line arguments while booting Xen so this T0SZ value changes ?

Can you please send me the compilation steps and booting instructions which you use to boot up Xen ?

I am getting hang as soon as Xen sets up tcr_el2 register. Here TCR_T0SZ(0) is 0.

   Â/* Set up TCR_EL2:

    Â* PS -- Based on ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange

    Â* Top byte is used

    Â* PT walks use Inner-Shareable accesses,

    Â* PT walks are write-back, write-allocate in both cache levels,

    Â* Full 64-bit address space goes through this table. */

    ldr  x0, =(TCR_RES1|TCR_SH0_IS|TCR_ORGN0_WBWA|TCR_IRGN0_WBWA|TCR_T0SZ(0))

    /* ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1[3:0] (PARange) corresponds to TCR_EL2[18:16] (PS) */

    mrs  x1, ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1

    bfi  x0, x1, #16, #3

    msr  tcr_el2, x0

Thanks.

I think that's expected and correct, what makes you think it is wrong?

I have an early Juno (not sure if it is an r0), and I have certainly had it
booting past head.S. I believe what is in 4.5 ought to work, but I suggest
you work with the development branch to get the latest stuff until the
issues (whatever they are) are resolved.

Where in head.S are things getting stuck for you?

Ian.
