It takes more that 2 minutes to verify SHA in purgatory when vmlinuz image
is around 13MB and initramfs is around 30MB. It takes more than 20 second
even when we have -O2 optimization enabled. However, if dcache is enabled
during purgatory execution then, it takes just a second in SHA
verification.
Therefore, these patches adds support for dcache enabling facility during
purgatory execution.
Changes since V2:
- typo in name create_block_entry() fixed
- moved shared definition between kexec and purgatory to a common
file.
- MT_NORMAL as 0
- PTRS_PER_* and other calculation around pmd_index() etc have
been defined like in kernel
- page table size has been kept for 5 tables, with comment about
expansion
- Pass only virt address to create_block_entry() now
- Addresses in kexec and purgatory domain have been defined as
host_addr_t and guest_addr_t respectively for clear code reading
Changes since V1:
- Moved page table creation logic from purgatory to kexec code.
- Only 4K page table is supported, with 48 bit VA and 2M block size
- if platform supports a 4K page size, then D-cache is always
enabled now.
