CPU6: DTLB LRU logic does not function correctly

Description: The DTLB is implemented as 2-way set associative with 32 entries per way. EA[15:19] is used

to determine which one of the 32 entries of both ways. When a DTLB miss occurs, normally

the CPU provides information (through SRR1 bit 14, DTLB replacement way) to indicate which

of the two ways the software (DTLB exception handler or the software table walk routine)

should use to bring in the new page. Presumably, the CPU provides the information, through

SRR1 bit 14, based on the LRU (least recently used) algorithm. However, because of this bug,

this is not the case.

In fact, for any given EA[15:19], when a DTLB miss occurs, SRR1 bit 14 always indicates that

way1 should be used or replaced. (Except if it is the very first DTLB miss after hard reset. In

this case, SRR1 bit 14 indicates way0 should be used.)

In other words, if the DTLB exception routine follows the SRR1 bit 14's suggestion to do the

TLB replacement, it always replaces the one in way1. In addition, whatever has been loaded in

way0 is effectively locked and is not replaced.

Impact: Performance degradation due to the reduction of usable DTLB entries.

Workaround: In the software, use one word (32 bits) to keep the record of the DTLB way that is Least

Recently Written (LRW). Use this information to overwrite the SRR1 bit 14 (DTLB replacement

way) when a Data Translation Miss exception occurs. Basically, the LRU (least recently used)

hardware algorithm is changed to an LRW (least recently written) software algorithm.

For the system that has no secondary storage (such as a hard drive), it is highly recommended

to set the C (Change) bit during the DTLB load exception to optimize the performance.

For a system that has a secondary storage and the OS does a page swap, the OS can choose

whether to set the C bit in the DTLB load exception.

If the C bit is set in the DTLB load exception, it can preempt the subsequent DTLB store

exception to the same page. However, since all the pages are marked as changed, during the

page swap all pages must be written back to the secondary storage regardless of whether they

have really been changed or not.

If the C bit is not set in the DTLB load exception with the LRW algorithm, a subsequent store to

the same page as the previous load will use a separate entry. Therefore, one page occupies

both ways. This causes inefficiency for the DTLB allocation but may save time during the page

swap since the page change status is correctly marked.

CPU-A002: CPU may hang after load from cache-inhibited, unguarded memory

Description: There is a one-core-clock-cycle window of opportunity for a snoop to collide with the data

returned from cache-inhibited memory to a load that has been cancelled. This collision can

hang the data cache in a busy state, prohibiting further data cache accesses. The snoop

address is immaterial.

The load can be cancelled if it meets the following conditions: it was executing speculatively

beyond a conditional branch that resolved unfavorably or was pre-empted by an external

interrupt or decrementer interrupt that took priority. The load must be from a cache-inhibited,

non-guarded memory block. A load from cacheable memory, even if it misses in the cache,

does not hang the data cache in a busy state, and if the memory block is marked guarded, the

load will not be executed out of order.

An external master must put addresses on the bus with the attribute of memory coherency

required (Global) so that the CPU allows snooping of the data cache. External masters have to

be programmed to snoop.

Impact: CPU halts or stops executing on a subsequent load or store that finds the data cache busy.

This load or store does not complete, and the data cache stays busy until a hardware or

software reset (HRESET or SRESET). Debug tools will reveal that the program counter is

stopped and pointing to the load or store that cannot complete.

Workaround: Use one of the following options:

• Set bit 14 in the HID2 register. This bit disables a minor feature that attempted to take

advantage of cache hits under a cancelled cache miss which was still waiting for data.

There should be no performance loss from disabling this feature. HID2[14] is not

implemented on any other e300 devices. Setting it will have no effect on other devices or

any future revisions.

• Mark all data memory blocks from which loads could occur “cacheable” or “guarded.”

CPU-A022: The e300 core may hang while using critical interrupt

Description: If BOTH critical interrupt AND normal interrupt types are used in a system, the e300 core may

hang.

Impact: The processor may stop dispatching instructions until a hardware reset(HRESET). Debug tools

will not be able to read any register correctly except program counter IAR which points to a

location in the critical interrupt vector.

Workaround: If both critical interrupt and normal interrupt types are used, then instead of using an rfi

instruction at the end of every exception handler, replace the rfi with the following:

1. Disable critical interrupts by setting MSR[CE] to 0 with a mtspr instruction.

2. Copy SRR0 and SRR1 to CSRR0 and CSRR1, respectively.

3. Execute an rfci instruction. This enables MSR[CE] and any other bits that the original rfi

would have set including the MSR[EE].

Sample Code:

// Disable MSR[CE]

mfmsr r2

lis r3, 0xffff

ori r3, r3, 0xff7f

and r2, r2, r3

sync

mtmsr r2

isync

// Copy SRR0, SRR1 to CSRR0 and CSRR1

DDR21: MCK/MCK AC differential crosspoint voltage outside JEDEC specifications

Description: The crossover points of the MCK and MCK signals of the DDR controller are not meeting

JESD79-2C specifications, which indicates that the crossover points should lie within ±125 mV

range of reference voltage.

Impact: Disagreement with the JESD79-2C standard.

Workaround: To meet the JESD79-2C crosspoint voltage specifications, we recommend implementing the

following connections between the DDR controller and DDR2 memory:

Figure 1. Recommended connections for DDR controller and memory

Effect of different circuit components on MCK and MCK signals:

1. Increasing R2 and R3 shifts signal levels up (used as pull up).

2. Increasing C1 increases rise/fall time of mck signal.

3. Increasing C2 increases rise/fall time of mckb signal.

4. Reducing R1 can help in shifting the signals up.

5. R4 and R5 can be used to make termination proper.

Component Placing:

R4, R5, C1, C2 near to SOC, R1, R2, and R3 have been placed at the end of clock

transmission lines.

By considering these suggestions and choosing proper values of components for a particular

board layout, one can keep crossover points within range.

We recommend varying termination resistor R1 first. Lowering R1 can help increase the

voltage levels up. The only disadvantage is that it may add up more reflections. Therefore, the

user must decide accordingly. If it does not give sufficient margin, the user can add the pull-up

resistor (R3 and R4) option to further increase the voltage levels.

Exact values of components vary from design to design and some of them may not be required

fpr all designs. We recommend that you make provisions for all these options in your design.
