I think this would be cleaner if you force the caller to put set and clear
into registers beforehand, rather than have to do the literal load every
time. Also, I don't think set and clear should be required (and then you can
lose tmp2 as well).

I can't figure out how to make register-parameters non-required
(i.e. conditionalise on whether an optional parameter was provided),
so my attempt of refactoring actually ends up using an additional
register:

#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_CP15
/* Macro for setting/clearing bits in sctlr */
	.macro	update_sctlr, set:req, clear:req, tmp:req
	mrc	p15, 0, \tmp, c1, c0, 0
	orr	\tmp, \set
	mvn	\clear, \clear
	and	\tmp, \tmp, \clear
	mcr	p15, 0, \tmp, c1, c0, 0
	.endm
#endif

If you think that's an improvement I can do that, and I have (just)
enough registers to spare.
If I'm being daft with my macro issues, do point it out.

I was thinking along the lines of:

	.macro  update_sctlr, tmp:req, set=0, clear=0
	.if	\set
	orr ...
	.endif
	.if	\clear
	bic ...
	.endif
	.endm

however, that puts us back to the problem of having to pass immediates
instead of registers. Gas *does* seem to accept the following:

	.macro  update_sctlr, tmp:req, set=0, clear=0
	.if	\set != 0
	orr ...
	.endif
	.if	\clear != 0
	bic ...
	.endif
	.endm

which is filthy, so we'd need to see how beautiful the caller ends up being
to justify that!

Register parameters are just strings, so how about this:

	.macro foo bar=, baz=
	.ifnc \bar,
	mov \bar,#0
	.endif
	.ifnc \baz,
	mov \baz,#1
	.endif
	.endm

	foo x0
	foo
	foo x1, x2
	foo ,x3

Results in:

0000000000000000 <.text>:
   0:	d2800000 	mov	x0, #0x0                   	// #0
   4:	d2800001 	mov	x1, #0x0                   	// #0
   8:	d2800022 	mov	x2, #0x1                   	// #1
   c:	d2800023 	mov	x3, #0x1                   	// #1

Oh, that's neat - thanks!

Well, given that, I can think of two less horrible options:
1)
	.macro  update_sctlr, tmp:req, set=, clear=
        mrc	p15, 0, \tmp, c1, c0, 0
	.ifnc	\set,
        orr	\tmp, \set
	.endif
	.ifnc	\clear,
	mvn	\clear, \clear
	and	\tmp, \tmp, \clear
	.endif
        mcr	p15, 0, \tmp, c1, c0, 0
	.endm

With the two call sites in uefi_phys.S as:

	ldr	r5, =(CR_M)
	update_sctlr	r12, , r5
and
	ldr	r4, =(CR_I | CR_C | CR_M)
	update_sctlr	r12, r4

Which disassembles as:

  2c:   e3a05001        mov     r5, #1
  30:   ee11cf10        mrc     15, 0, ip, cr1, cr0, {0}
  34:   e1e05005        mvn     r5, r5
  38:   e00cc005        and     ip, ip, r5
  3c:   ee01cf10        mcr     15, 0, ip, cr1, cr0, {0}
and
  48:   e59f4034        ldr     r4, [pc, #52]   ; 84 <tmpstack+0x4>
  4c:   ee11cf10        mrc     15, 0, ip, cr1, cr0, {0}
  50:   e18cc004        orr     ip, ip, r4
  54:   ee01cf10        mcr     15, 0, ip, cr1, cr0, {0}


2)
	.macro update_sctlr, tmp:req, tmp2:req, set=, clear=
	mrc	p15, 0, \tmp, c1, c0, 0
	.ifnc	\set,
	ldr	\tmp2, =\set
	orr	\tmp, \tmp, \tmp2
	.endif
	.ifnc	\clear,
	ldr	\tmp2, =\clear
	mvn	\tmp2, \tmp2
	and	\tmp, \tmp, \tmp2
	.endif
	mcr	p15, 0, \tmp, c1, c0, 0
	.endm

With the two call sites in uefi_phys.S as: 

	update_sctlr	r4, r5, , (CR_M)
and
	update_sctlr	r4, r5, (CR_I | CR_C | CR_M)

Which disassembles as:

  2c:   ee114f10        mrc     15, 0, r4, cr1, cr0, {0}
  30:   e3a05001        mov     r5, #1
  34:   e1e05005        mvn     r5, r5
  38:   e0044005        and     r4, r4, r5
  3c:   ee014f10        mcr     15, 0, r4, cr1, cr0, {0}
and
  48:   ee114f10        mrc     15, 0, r4, cr1, cr0, {0}
  4c:   e59f5030        ldr     r5, [pc, #48]   ; 84 <tmpstack+0x4>
  50:   e1844005        orr     r4, r4, r5
  54:   ee014f10        mcr     15, 0, r4, cr1, cr0, {0}


The benefit of 2) is a cleaner call site, and one fewer register
used if setting and clearing simultaneously.

The benefit of 1) is that the macro could then easily be used with
the crval mask in mm/proc*.S

So, Will, which one do you want?

Can't you use bic here?

These ldr= could be movs, right?

If so, I definitely prefer this to putting an ldr = into the macro itself
(option 2).

The first one could.
The second one could be movw on armv7+.

And your preference between 1) and 2) is?

(1), using bic and mov[tw] where possible.

Using mov[tw] will break on V6 enabled builds.

(1): ok, thanks.

bic: sure, that was an oversight.

mov[tw]: why?
Then we end up battling different available immediate fields in A32/T32
instruction sets and v5/v6/v7 architecture versions.

I was making the assumption that UEFI was going to be v7 only... is this not
true?

There is no such requirement in the specification.
It even mentions requirements for ARMv4 in one place :)

But I also don't understand why ldr= should be avoided.
This is not performance sensitive (called once on system boot), and
it's already executing with the caches off, so even if it ends up
being a literal load it does not pollute.
