non-coherent DMA support for AX45MP
====================================

On the Andes AX45MP core, cache coherency is a specification option so it
may not be supported. In this case DMA will fail. To get around with this
issue this patch series does the below:

1] Andes alternative ports is implemented as errata which checks if the
IOCP is missing and only then applies to CMO errata. One vendor specific
SBI EXT (ANDES_SBI_EXT_IOCP_SW_WORKAROUND) is implemented as part of
errata.

Below are the configs which Andes port provides (and are selected by
RZ/Five):
      - ERRATA_ANDES
      - ERRATA_ANDES_CMO

OpenSBI patch supporting ANDES_SBI_EXT_IOCP_SW_WORKAROUND SBI is now
part v1.3 release.

2] Andes AX45MP core has a Programmable Physical Memory Attributes (PMA)
block that allows dynamic adjustment of memory attributes in the runtime.
It contains a configurable amount of PMA entries implemented as CSR
registers to control the attributes of memory locations in interest.
OpenSBI configures the PMA regions as required and creates a reserve memory
node and propagates it to the higher boot stack.

Currently OpenSBI (upstream) configures the required PMA region and passes
this a shared DMA pool to Linux.

    reserved-memory {
        #address-cells = <2>;
        #size-cells = <2>;
        ranges;

        pma_resv0@58000000 {
            compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
            reg = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000>;
            no-map;
            linux,dma-default;
        };
    };

The above shared DMA pool gets appended to Linux DTB so the DMA memory
requests go through this region.

3] We provide callbacks to synchronize specific content between memory and
cache.

4] RZ/Five SoC selects the below configs
        - AX45MP_L2_CACHE
        - DMA_GLOBAL_POOL
        - ERRATA_ANDES
        - ERRATA_ANDES_CMO

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
