      Fully initialise essential control registers · 18f2efd6
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      This patch updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully
      initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware
      to set the reset values.
      
      The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise
      the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and
      secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower
      EL.
      
      This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software
      must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1.
      
      This patch also corrects the following typos:
      
      "NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions"

      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      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.

      AArch32: Add generic changes in BL1 · f3b4914b
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds generic changes in BL1 to support AArch32 state.
      New AArch32 specific assembly/C files are introduced and
      some files are moved to AArch32/64 specific folders.
      BL1 for AArch64 is refactored but functionally identical.
      BL1 executes in Secure Monitor mode in AArch32 state.
      
      NOTE: BL1 in AArch32 state ONLY handles BL1_RUN_IMAGE SMC.

      Remove looping around `plat_report_exception` · 5bbc451e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch removes the tight loop that calls `plat_report_exception`
      in unhandled exceptions in AArch64 state.
      The new behaviour is to call the `plat_report_exception` only
      once followed by call to `plat_panic_handler`.
      This allows platforms to take platform-specific action when
      there is an unhandled exception, instead of always spinning
      in a tight loop.
      
      Note: This is a subtle break in behaviour for platforms that
            expect `plat_report_exception` to be continuously executed
            when there is an unhandled exception.

      Enable asynchronous abort exceptions during boot · adb4fcfb
      Gerald Lejeune authored
      
      
      Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
      not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.
      
      Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
      initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
      cold boot.
      
      A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
      being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.
      
      For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
      aborts.
      
      On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
      EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

      FWU: Add Generic Firmware Update framework support in BL1 · 48bfb88e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
      BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
      specific code detects that it is needed.
      
      This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
      included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.
      
      This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
      of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
      and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
      BL1 SMCs.
      
      Following platform porting functions are introduced:
      
      int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
      unsigned int flags);
      	This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
      	for the provided base/size for the given security state.
      	The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.
      
      __dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
      	This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
      	to mark completion of the FWU process.
      	The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.
      
      plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.
      
      FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
      other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
      `bl1_main()`.
      
      NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
      bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

      Add descriptor based image management support in BL1 · 7baff11f
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      As of now BL1 loads and execute BL2 based on hard coded information
      provided in BL1. But due to addition of support for upcoming Firmware
      Update feature, BL1 now require more flexible approach to load and
      run different images using information provided by the platform.
      
      This patch adds new mechanism to load and execute images based on
      platform provided image id's. BL1 now queries the platform to fetch
      the image id of the next image to be loaded and executed. In order
      to achieve this, a new struct image_desc_t was added which holds the
      information about images, such as: ep_info and image_info.
      
      This patch introduces following platform porting functions:
      
      unsigned int bl1_plat_get_next_image_id(void);
      	This is used to identify the next image to be loaded
      	and executed by BL1.
      
      struct image_desc *bl1_plat_get_image_desc(unsigned int image_id);
      	This is used to retrieve the image_desc for given image_id.
      
      void bl1_plat_set_ep_info(unsigned int image_id,
      struct entry_point_info *ep_info);
      	This function allows platforms to update ep_info for given
      	image_id.
      
      The plat_bl1_common.c file provides default weak implementations of
      all above functions, the `bl1_plat_get_image_desc()` always return
      BL2 image descriptor, the `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` always return
      BL2 image ID and `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()` is empty and just returns.
      These functions gets compiled into all BL1 platforms by default.
      
      Platform setup in BL1, using `bl1_platform_setup()`, is now done
      _after_ the initialization of authentication module. This change
      provides the opportunity to use authentication while doing the
      platform setup in BL1.
      
      In order to store secure/non-secure context, BL31 uses percpu_data[]
      to store context pointer for each core. In case of BL1 only the
      primary CPU will be active hence percpu_data[] is not required to
      store the context pointer.
      
      This patch introduce bl1_cpu_context[] and bl1_cpu_context_ptr[] to
      store the context and context pointers respectively. It also also
      re-defines cm_get_context() and cm_set_context() for BL1 in
      bl1/bl1_context_mgmt.c.
      
      BL1 now follows the BL31 pattern of using SP_EL0 for the C runtime
      environment, to support resuming execution from a previously saved
      context.
      
      NOTE: THE `bl1_plat_set_bl2_ep_info()` PLATFORM PORTING FUNCTION IS
            NO LONGER CALLED BY BL1 COMMON CODE. PLATFORMS THAT OVERRIDE
            THIS FUNCTION MAY NEED TO IMPLEMENT `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()`
            INSTEAD TO MAINTAIN EXISTING BEHAVIOUR.

      Move context management code to common location · bbf8f6f9
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      The upcoming Firmware Update feature needs transitioning across
      Secure/Normal worlds to complete the FWU process and hence requires
      context management code to perform this task.
      
      Currently context management code is part of BL31 stage only.
      This patch moves the code from (include)/bl31 to (include)/common.
      Some function declarations/definitions and macros have also moved
      to different files to help code sharing.

      Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option · a9bec67d
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
      which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
      slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
      and performance.
      
      COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
      may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
      code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
      CPU distinction.
      
      If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
      out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
      primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
      may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
      primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.
      
      All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
      so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
      Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
      when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
      normal boot flow.
      
      For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
      APIs become optional:
        - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
        - plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
      The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.
      
      User Guide updated as well.

      This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
      puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging

      in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
      developer may take control of the target using a debugger.
      
      This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by
      rebuilding BL1 with SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1.
      
      User Guide updated accordingly.

      platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
      it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
      then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
      the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
      mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

      Rationalize reset handling code · 52010cc7
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
      results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
      RESET_TO_BL31 option.
      
      This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
      PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
       1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
       2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
          CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
          simultaneously;
       3) Run the CPU init code.
      
      This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
      the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.
      
      This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
      different types of systems.
      
      NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
      NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
      FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
      OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

      Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions · 8b779620
      Kévin Petit authored
      
      
      In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
      functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
      assembler using the .size directive.
      
      To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
      macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
      a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.
      
      The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
      endfunc is omitted.

      EL3 is taken locally instead of a lower exception level.
      
      The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not
      been directly initiated by the normal world. This is to prevent the possibility
      of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being
      taken when execution is in S-EL1.

      Simplify management of SCTLR_EL3 and SCTLR_EL1 · ec3c1003
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch reworks the manner in which the M,A, C, SA, I, WXN & EE bits of
      SCTLR_EL3 & SCTLR_EL1 are managed. The EE bit is cleared immediately after reset
      in EL3. The I, A and SA bits are set next in EL3 and immediately upon entry in
      S-EL1. These bits are no longer managed in the blX_arch_setup() functions. They
      do not have to be saved and restored either. The M, WXN and optionally the C
      bit are set in the enable_mmu_elX() function. This is done during both the warm
      and cold boot paths.

      Remove coherent stack usage from the cold boot path · 754a2b7a
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch reworks the cold boot path across the BL1, BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 boot
      loader stages to not use stacks allocated in coherent memory for early platform
      setup and enabling the MMU. Stacks allocated in normal memory are used instead.
      
      Attributes for stack memory change from nGnRnE when the MMU is disabled to
      Normal WBWA Inner-shareable when the MMU and data cache are enabled. It is
      possible for the CPU to read stale stack memory after the MMU is enabled from
      another CPUs cache. Hence, it is unsafe to turn on the MMU and data cache while
      using normal stacks when multiple CPUs are a part of the same coherency
      domain. It is safe to do so in the cold boot path as only the primary cpu
      executes it. The secondary cpus are in a quiescent state.
      
      This patch does not remove the allocation of coherent stack memory. That is done
      in a subsequent patch.

      Initialise CPU contexts from entry_point_info · 167a9357
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Consolidate all BL3-1 CPU context initialization for cold boot, PSCI
      and SPDs into two functions:
      *  The first uses entry_point_info to initialize the relevant
         cpu_context for first entry into a lower exception level on a CPU
      *  The second populates the EL1 and EL2 system registers as needed
         from the cpu_context to ensure correct entry into the lower EL
      
      This patch alters the way that BL3-1 determines which exception level
      is used when first entering EL1 or EL2 during cold boot - this is now
      fully determined by the SPSR value in the entry_point_info for BL3-3,
      as set up by the platform code in BL2 (or otherwise provided to BL3-1).
      
      In the situation that EL1 (or svc mode) is selected for a processor
      that supports EL2, the context management code will now configure all
      essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. This
      allows the platform code to run non-secure EL1 payloads directly
      without requiring a small EL2 stub or OS loader.

      Add support for BL3-1 as a reset vector · dbad1bac
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
      which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
      initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.
      
      When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that
      the BL3-1 platform code can determine the location of
      the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
      that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.
      
      It also fixes the incorrect initialisation of mailbox
      registers on the FVP platform
      
      This feature can be enabled by building the code with
      make variable RESET_TO_BL31 set as 1

      Rework handover interface between BL stages · 29fb905d
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and
      BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el()
      and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were
      never exercised.
      BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
      by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
      execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
      to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
      running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
      'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
      general purpose registers earlier.

      Access system registers directly in assembler · 7935d0a5
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
      or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
      use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
      compact code.
      
      This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
      direct register accesses.

      Replace disable_mmu with assembler version · 2f5dcfef
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      disable_mmu() cannot work as a C function as there is no control
      over data accesses generated by the compiler between disabling and
      cleaning the data cache. This results in reading stale data from
      main memory.
      
      As assembler version is provided for EL3, and a variant that also
      disables the instruction cache which is now used by the BL1

      Correct usage of data and instruction barriers · 8cec598b
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The current code does not always use data and instruction
      barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses
      barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the
      write_*() helper functions.
      
      Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code
      when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in
      order to enable review of correctness of the code.
      
      This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and
      introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code.
      
      PORTING NOTE: check any port of Trusted Firmware for use of
      system register helper functions for reliance on the previous
      barrier behaviour and add explicit barriers as necessary.

      Define frequency of system counter in platform code · 9e86490f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
      into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
      platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
      the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
      In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
      modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.
      
      All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
      platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
      The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
      to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
      initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
      request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
      explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
      fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.
      
      In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
      is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
      the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.
      
      This patch also updates the relevant documentation.
      
      It properly fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#24
