      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.

      Move `arm_common.c` out of aarch64 folder · bc149bfc
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the `arm_common.c` file from `plat/arm/common/aarch64/`
      to the parent directory since the functions implemented in the file are
      not AArch64 specific. The platform makefiles are also modified for this
      change.

      Include `plat_psci_common.c` from the new location · bb2162f1
      Soby Mathew authored
      The `plat_psci_common.c` was moved to the new location `plat/common`
      and a stub file was retained at previous location for compatibility. This
      patch modifies the platform makefiles to include the file from the new
      location.

      ARM platforms: Add support for SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA · 0af559a8
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The arm_setup_page_tables() function used to expect a single set of
      addresses defining the extents of the whole read-only section, code
      and read-only data mixed up, which was mapped as executable.
      
      This patch changes this behaviour. arm_setup_page_tables() now
      expects 2 separate sets of addresses:
      
       - the extents of the code section;
       - the extents of the read-only data section.
      
      The code is mapped as executable, whereas the data is mapped as
      execute-never. New #defines have been introduced to identify the
      extents of the code and the read-only data section. Given that
      all BL images except BL1 share the same memory layout and linker
      script structure, these #defines are common across these images.
      The slight memory layout differences in BL1 have been handled by
      providing values specific to BL1.
      
      Note that this patch also affects the Xilinx platform port, which
      uses the arm_setup_page_tables() function. It has been updated
      accordingly, such that the memory mappings on this platform are
      unchanged. This is achieved by passing null values as the extents
      of the read-only data section so that it is ignored. As a result,
      the whole read-only section is still mapped as executable.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#85

      Introduce utils.h header file · ed81f3eb
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new header file: include/lib/utils.h.
      Its purpose is to provide generic macros and helper functions that
      are independent of any BL image, architecture, platform and even
      not specific to Trusted Firmware.
      
      For now, it contains only 2 macros: ARRAY_SIZE() and
      IS_POWER_OF_TWO(). These were previously defined in bl_common.h and
      xlat_tables.c respectively.
      
      bl_common.h includes utils.h to retain compatibility for platforms
      that relied on bl_common.h for the ARRAY_SIZE() macro. Upstream
      platform ports that use this macro have been updated to include
      utils.h.

      Introduce arm_setup_page_tables() function · b5fa6563
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces the arm_setup_page_tables() function to
      set up page tables on ARM platforms. It replaces the
      arm_configure_mmu_elx() functions and does the same thing except
      that it doesn't enable the MMU at the end. The idea is to reduce
      the amount of per-EL code that is generated by the C preprocessor
      by splitting the memory regions definitions and page tables creation
      (which is generic) from the MMU enablement (which is the only per-EL
      configuration).
      
      As a consequence, the call to the enable_mmu_elx() function has been
      moved up into the plat_arch_setup() hook. Any other ARM standard
      platforms that use the functions `arm_configure_mmu_elx()` must be
      updated.
