I agree, simply because with the current code, enable_caches() does not enable icache if CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF is not defined but CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF is. But is it enough to move it? We could indeed move it after the #endif, but also change it to: --- #if !defined(CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF) || !defined(CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF) void enable_caches(void) { #ifndef CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF icache_enable(); #endif #ifndef CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF dcache_enable(); #endif } #endif --- In that way, the default __enable_caches() from cache.c (outputting "WARNING: Caches not enabled\n") would be linked if both CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF and CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF are defined. Do you agree? > Please provide a V2 patch, I promise it'll get processed faster than > this V1. OK ;) , I'll do that after your answer to the question above. Best regards, Benoît

When CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF, dcache functions are not compiled out, they are compiled in but empty. IOW, even with caches off, the API remains callable albeit useless. This is done so that client code does not have to test CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF before deciding to call the API or not. Therefore, for consistency, enable_caches() should be defined and empty even when both CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF and CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF are defined, which is not the case in the example above due to the enclosing #if/#endif. > > Please provide a V2 patch, I promise it'll get processed faster than > > this V1. > > OK ;) , I'll do that after your answer to the question above. > > Best regards, > Benoît Amicalement,

In the example, enable_caches() is still defined if both CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF and CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF are defined. See arch/arm/lib/cache.c: --- /* * Default implementation of enable_caches() * Real implementation should be in platform code */ void __enable_caches(void) { puts("WARNING: Caches not enabled\n"); } void enable_caches(void) __attribute__((weak, alias("__enable_caches"))); --- But you're right, it's not empty in this case. Is it that you want to remove this message in this case? This default implementation is used in the same way for several other ARM targets. Best regards, Benoît

OK, I see your point: enable_cache() needs not be defined here if caches are #define'd out, because there is a weak default definition in arch/arm/lib/cache.c that just prints a warning about caches not being enabled. But then, the same holds for flush_dcache_all and flush_cache, which are not compiled out from as enable_cache is -- and if they were, then the arch/arm/lib/cache.c versions would kick in, and those are not empty, especially __flush_cache which contains a conditional call to... arm1136_cache_flush() That is certainly not consistent... And on second thought, not defining a cache-related function at cpu level if caches are compiled out is more sensible than defining it empty. All this could undergo a greater change to move cpu-specifics out of the ARM library so that all lib functions are empty or generic, and define cpu-specific functions only if caches are compiled in... But I won't ask for something that's far beyond the goal of your patch. Conclusion: V2 is good as it is. I'll apply it on /next. > Best regards, > Benoît Amicalement,
