Please use r3 (as I just said). We don't need random deviations between
MMU and noMMU stuff - that just makes maintanence of other code more
difficult.
You can also avoid the issues of having it passed through the processor
specific init function (which isn't guaranteed to preserve r13) by
doing this:
- ldr r13, =__mmap_switched @ address to jump to after
- @ initialising sctlr
badr lr, 1f @ return (PIC) address
ldr r12, [r10, #PROCINFO_INITFUNC]
add r12, r12, r10
ret r12
- 1: b __after_proc_init
+1: ldr r13, =__mmap_switched @ address to jump to after
+ @ initialising sctlr
b __after_proc_init
However, because you have no MMU to turn on, and no address switch,
you actually don't need any of this. __after_proc_init can become
a "function" which returns via the link register.
You can then do:
1: bl __after_proc_init
b __mmap_switched
You'll need to fix secondary_startup in there as well:
- adr r4, __secondary_data
- ldmia r4, {r7, r12}
ldr r7, __secondary_data
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM_MPU
/* Use MPU region info supplied by __cpu_up */
ldr r6, [r7] @ get secondary_data.mpu_szr
bl __setup_mpu @ Initialize the MPU
#endif
- badr lr, __after_proc_init @ return address
- mov r13, r12 @ __secondary_switched address
+ badr lr, 1f @ return (PIC) address
ldr r12, [r10, #PROCINFO_INITFUNC]
add r12, r12, r10
ret r12
-ENDPROC(secondary_startup)
-
-ENTRY(__secondary_switched)
+1: bl __after_proc_init
ldr sp, [r7, #12] @ set up the stack pointer
mov fp, #0
b secondary_start_kernel
-ENDPROC(__secondary_switched)
+ENDPROC(secondary_startup)
