Wouldn't it be enough to just calculate the difference between a7 and ra to get the relocation offset?

If you have the relocation offset as suggested above, you could simply add that to s0 and do one jr instruction. Also instead of synci you could use jr.hb to automatically add a instruction hazard barrier during the jump (if that's implemented on Octeon). > + > +uboot_in_cache: > + > + /* > + * Return to start.S now running from TEXT_BASE, which points > + * to DRAM address space, which effectively is L2 cache now. > + * This speeds up the init process extremely, especially the > + * DDR init code. > + */ > + jr s0 > + nop > + > + END(mips_mach_early_init) -- - Daniel
