From 51d8367d8a8d6edb0c5af9828c20bb7aba5670da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Przywara Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2022 16:36:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] vexpress64: semi_defconfig: disable CRC32 support Commit 270f8710f92f ("crc32: Add crc32 implementation using __builtin_aarch64_crc32b") enabled the usage of ARMv8 CRC instructions by default, for all arm64 builds. And indeed all Arm Ltd. v8 Cortex-A cores support the instructions, and they are mandatory starting with architecture revision v8.1, so realistically every known hardware implementation should support them. The Arm Fastmodel however defaults to the bare minimum ARMv8 feature set by default, which means v8.0 without the CRC instructions, so U-Boot hangs very early at the moment, without any output (the boot-wrapper or TF-A printing the last visible lines). Support for those instructions can be enabled on the model command line by either: -C cluster0.cpu0.enable_crc32=1 (for each core) or by using a higher architecture revision by default: -C cluster0.has_arm_v8-1=1 (for each cluster) Of course any arch revision higher than v8.1 would work as well. But for the sake of a smooth out-of-the-box experience, let's just disable the usage of those instructions in the defconfig, to avoid random hangs without any clues.
