During cold boot, the initial translation tables are created with data caches disabled, so all modifications go to memory directly. After the MMU is enabled and data cache is enabled, any modification to the tables goes to data cache, and eventually may get flushed to memory. If CPU0 modifies the tables while CPU1 is off, CPU0 will have the modified tables in its data cache. When CPU1 is powered on, the MMU is enabled, then it enables coherency, and then it enables the data cache. Until this is done, CPU1 isn't in coherency, and the translation tables it sees can be outdated if CPU0 still has some modified entries in its data cache. This can be a problem in some cases. For example, the warm boot code uses only the tables mapped during cold boot, which don't normally change. However, if they are modified (and a RO page is made RW, or a XN page is made executable) the CPU will see the old attributes and crash when it tries to access it. This doesn't happen in systems with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY or WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY. In these systems, the data cache is enabled at the same time as the MMU. As soon as this happens, the CPU is in coherency. There was an attempt of a fix in psci_helpers.S, but it didn't solve the problem. That code has been deleted. The code was introduced in commit <26441030 > ("Invalidate TLB entries during warm boot"). Now, during a map or unmap operation, the memory associated to each modified table is flushed. Traversing a table will also flush it's memory, as there is no way to tell in the current implementation if the table that has been traversed has also been modified.

During the warm boot sequence: 1. The MMU is enabled with the data cache disabled. The MMU table walker is set up to access the translation tables as in cacheable memory, but its accesses are non-cacheable because SCTLR_EL3.C controls them as well. 2. The interconnect is set up and the CPU enters coherency with the rest of the system. 3. The data cache is enabled. If the support for dynamic translation tables is enabled and another CPU makes changes to a region, the changes may only be present in the data cache, not in RAM. The CPU that is booting isn't in coherency with the rest of the system, so the table walker of that CPU isn't either. This means that it may read old entries from RAM and it may have invalid TLB entries corresponding to the dynamic mappings. This is not a problem for the boot code because the mapping is 1:1 and the regions are static. However, the code that runs after the boot sequence may need to access the dynamically mapped regions. This patch invalidates all TLBs during warm boot when the dynamic translation tables support is enabled to prevent this problem.

Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to power down individual cores and clusters. This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example, future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering down individually. This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth: - Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level required. - CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no reset function. - CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels. All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework without needing any functional changes within. Also update firmware design guide.

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads the debugger back trace. This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl' instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop' instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes introduced are as follows: * Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both cold and warm boots. * Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function `bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous `psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated. * The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific header. * The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime firmware using a different SMC context. NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()` is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be be aware of this change in sequence.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which are done as part of this patch are: * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to enable reuse. * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture specific folder. * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility. Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles. NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.
