      Enable SVE for Non-secure world · 1a853370
      David Cunado authored 
      

This patch adds a new build option, ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS, which when set
to one EL3 will check to see if the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is
implemented when entering and exiting the Non-secure world.

If SVE is implemented, EL3 will do the following:

- Entry to Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is enabled.

- Exit from Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is
  disabled. As SIMD and FP registers are part of the SVE Z-registers
  then any use of SIMD / FP functionality would corrupt the SVE
  registers.

The build option default is 1. The SVE functionality is only supported
on AArch64 and so the build option is set to zero when the target
archiecture is AArch32.

This build option is not compatible with the CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS - an
assert will be raised on platforms where SVE is implemented and both
ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS and CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS are set to 1.

Also note this change prevents secure world use of FP&SIMD registers on
SVE-enabled platforms. Existing Secure-EL1 Payloads will not work on
such platforms unless ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS is set to 0.

Additionally, on the first entry into the Non-secure world the SVE
functionality is enabled and the SVE Z-register length is set to the
maximum size allowed by the architecture. This includes the use case
where EL2 is implemented but not used.

      Refactor Statistical Profiling Extensions implementation · 281a08cc
      Dimitris Papastamos authored 
      

Factor out SPE operations in a separate file.  Use the publish
subscribe framework to drain the SPE buffers before entering secure
world.  Additionally, enable SPE before entering normal world.

A side effect of this change is that the profiling buffers are now
only drained when a transition from normal world to secure world
happens.  Previously they were drained also on return from secure
world, which is unnecessary as SPE is not supported in S-EL1.

      Move FPEXC32_EL2 to FP Context · 91089f36
      David Cunado authored 
      

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped
to AArch32 system register FPEXC.

This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context
and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the
floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1.

The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP
functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure
world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers.

NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that
CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32
Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore
this register

      BL31: Introduce Exception Handling Framework · 21b818c0
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored 
      

EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
respective handlers in EL3.

This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.

The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.

This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.

Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.

Documentation to follow.

NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
or later).

      Init and save / restore of PMCR_EL0 / PMCR · 3e61b2b5
      David Cunado authored 
      

Currently TF does not initialise the PMCR_EL0 register in
the secure context or save/restore the register.

In particular, the DP field may not be set to one to prohibit
cycle counting in the secure state, even though event counting
generally is prohibited via the default setting of MDCR_EL3.SMPE
to 0.

This patch initialises PMCR_EL0.DP to one in the secure state
to prohibit cycle counting and also initialises other fields
that have an architectually UNKNOWN reset value.

Additionally, PMCR_EL0 is added to the list of registers that are
saved and restored during a world switch.

Similar changes are made for PMCR for the AArch32 execution state.

NOTE: secure world code at lower ELs that assume other values in PMCR_EL0
will be impacted.

      reset2: Add PSCI system_reset2 function · 36a8f8fd
      Roberto Vargas authored 
      

This patch implements PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET2 API as defined in PSCI
v1.1 specification. The specification allows architectural and
vendor-specific resets via this API. In the current specification,
there is only one architectural reset, the warm reset. This reset is
intended to provide a fast reboot path that guarantees not to reset
system main memory.

      GICv3: add functions for save and restore · ebf1ca10
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

During system suspend, the GICv3 Distributor and Redistributor context
can be lost due to power gating of the system power domain. This means
that the GICv3 context needs to be saved prior to system suspend and
restored on wakeup. Currently the consensus is that the Firmware should
be in charge of this. See tf-issues#464 for more details.

This patch introduces helper APIs in the GICv3 driver to save and
restore the Distributor and Redistributor contexts. The GICv3 ITS
context is not considered in this patch because the specification says
that the details of ITS power management is implementation-defined.
These APIs are expected to be appropriately invoked by the platform
layer during system suspend.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#464

      xlat: Add support for EL0 and EL1 mappings · 609c9191
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      

This patch introduces the ability of the xlat tables library to manage
EL0 and EL1 mappings from a higher exception level.

Attributes MT_USER and MT_PRIVILEGED have been added to allow the user
specify the target EL in the translation regime EL1&0.

REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2 macro is introduced to allow creating a
xlat_ctx_t that targets a given translation regime (EL1&0 or EL3).

A new member is added to xlat_ctx_t to represent the translation regime
the xlat_ctx_t manages. The execute_never mask member is removed as it
is computed from existing information.

      xlat: Introduce function xlat_arch_tlbi_va_regime() · b4ae615b
      Douglas Raillard authored 
      

Introduce a variant of the TLB invalidation helper function that
allows the targeted translation regime to be specified, rather than
defaulting to the current one.

This new function is useful in the context of EL3 software managing
translation tables for the S-EL1&0 translation regime, as then it
might need to invalidate S-EL1&0 TLB entries rather than EL3 ones.

Define a new enumeration to be able to represent translation regimes in
the xlat tables library.

      xlat: Introduce MAP_REGION2() macro · fdb1964c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored 
      

The current implementation of the memory mapping API favours mapping
memory regions using the biggest possible block size in order to
reduce the number of translation tables needed.

In some cases, this behaviour might not be desirable. When translation
tables are edited at run-time, coarse-grain mappings like that might
need splitting into finer-grain tables. This operation has a
performance cost.

The MAP_REGION2() macro allows to specify the granularity of
translation tables used for the initial mapping of a memory region.
This might increase performance for memory regions that are likely to
be edited in the future, at the expense of a potentially increased
memory footprint.

The Translation Tables Library Design Guide has been updated to
explain the use case for this macro. Also added a few intermediate
titles to make the guide easier to digest.
