The simple_bootloader checks for CPU0 in a manner incompatible with systems
actually using affinity levels -- just looking at MPIDR[7:0]. However, in
future we may wish to use real affinity levels and this method will be in danger
of matching several CPUs with affinity0 = 0.
Match affinity2 == affinity1 == affinity0 == 0 instead.
bootldr:
mrc p15, 0, r8, c0, c0, 5 // get the MPIDR register
- uxtb r8, r8 // isolate the lower 8 bits (affinity lvl 1)
- adds r8, r8, #0 // set flags for branch
+ bics r8, r8, #0xff000000 // isolate the lower 24 bits (affinity levels)
bxeq r3 // if it's 0 (CPU 0), branch to kernel
mov r8, #1
str r8, [r4, #0] // Enable CPU interface on GIC
