At present, warm-booted CPUs keep their caches disabled when enabling MMU, and remains so until they enter coherency later. On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, for which HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build flag would be enabled, warm-booted CPUs can have both caches and MMU enabled at once.

Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized structure by applying the following transformation: memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x)) As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32 and AArch64.

Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up without doing external memory access. Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated. Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply with zeromem16 requirements). Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a 8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses. Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header that are implemented this way: * AArch32: * zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access * zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem * AArch64: * zero_normalmem: zero normal memory using DC ZVA instruction (needs MMU enabled) * zeromem: zero using usual data access Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred. There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead: * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is considered device memory for data accesses). * Code that fills device memory with null bytes. Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is important: * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations. Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

The AArch32 Procedure call Standard mandates that the stack must be aligned to 8 byte boundary at external interfaces. This patch does the required changes. This problem was detected when a crash was encountered in `psci_print_power_domain_map()` while printing 64 bit values. Aligning the stack to 8 byte boundary resolved the problem. Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#437 Change-Id: I517bd8203601bb88e9311bd36d477fb7b3efb292 Signed-off-by: Soby Mathew <soby.mathew@arm.com>

This patch moves the invocation of `psci_setup()` from BL31 and SP_MIN into `std_svc_setup()` as part of ARM Standard Service initialization. This allows us to consolidate ARM Standard Service initializations which will be added to in the future. A new function `get_arm_std_svc_args()` is introduced to get arguments corresponding to each standard service. This function must be implemented by the EL3 Runtime Firmware and both SP_MIN and BL31 implement it. Change-Id: I38e1b644f797fa4089b20574bd4a10f0419de184

This patch introduces a `psci_lib_args_t` structure which must be passed into `psci_setup()` which is then used to initialize the PSCI library. The `psci_lib_args_t` is a versioned structure so as to enable compatibility checks during library initialization. Both BL31 and SP_MIN are modified to use the new structure. SP_MIN is also modified to add version string and build message as part of its cold boot log just like the other BLs in Trusted Firmware. NOTE: Please be aware that this patch modifies the prototype of `psci_setup()`, which breaks compatibility with EL3 Runtime Firmware (excluding BL31 and SP_MIN) integrated with the PSCI Library.

This patch adds support in SP_MIN to receive generic and platform specific arguments from BL2. The new signature is as following: void sp_min_early_platform_setup(void *from_bl2, void *plat_params_from_bl2); ARM platforms have been modified to use this support. Note: Platforms may break if using old signature. Default value for RESET_TO_SP_MIN is changed to 0. Change-Id: I008d4b09fd3803c7b6231587ebf02a047bdba8d0

This patch uses the `el3_entrypoint_common` macro to initialize CPU registers, in SP_MIN entrypoint.s file, in both cold and warm boot path. It also adds conditional compilation, in cold and warm boot entry path, based on RESET_TO_SP_MIN. Change-Id: Id493ca840dc7b9e26948dc78ee928e9fdb76b9e4

This patch adds a minimal AArch32 secure payload SP_MIN. It relies on PSCI library to initialize the normal world context. It runs in Monitor mode and uses the runtime service framework to handle SMCs. It is added as a BL32 component in the Trusted Firmware source tree.
