      Add CFI debug info to vector entries · 31823b69
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Add Call Frame Information assembler directives to vector entries so
      that debuggers display the backtrace of functions that triggered a
      synchronous exception. For example, a function triggering a data abort
      will be easier to debug if the backtrace can be displayed from a
      breakpoint at the beginning of the synchronous exception vector.
      
      DS-5 needs CFI otherwise it will not attempt to display the backtrace.
      Other debuggers might have other needs. These debug information are
      stored in the ELF file but not in the final binary.

      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.

      Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries · 532ed618
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.

      Derive stack alignment from CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE · 663db206
      Soby Mathew authored
      The per-cpu stacks should be aligned to the cache-line size and
      the `declare_stack` helper in asm_macros.S macro assumed a
      cache-line size of 64 bytes. The platform defines the cache-line
      size via CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE macro. This patch modifies
      `declare_stack` helper macro to derive stack alignment from the
      platform defined macro.

      Fill exception vectors with zero bytes · 79627dc3
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The documentation of the GNU assembler specifies the following about
      the .align assembler directive:
       "the padding bytes are normally zero. However, on some systems, if
       the section is marked as containing code and the fill value is
       omitted, the space is filled with no-op instructions."
      (see https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Align.html)
      
      When building Trusted Firmware, the AArch64 GNU assembler uses a
      mix of zero bytes and no-op instructions as the padding bytes to
      align exception vectors.
      
      This patch mandates to use zero bytes to be stored in the padding
      bytes in the exception vectors. In the AArch64 instruction set, no
      valid instruction encodes as zero so this effectively inserts
      illegal instructions. Should this code end up being executed for
      any reason, it would crash immediately. This gives us an extra
      protection against misbehaving code at no extra cost.

      Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED · 7a24cba5
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
      Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
      build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
      WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
      trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
      is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
      When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
      inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.
      
      Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
      conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
      so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
      ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.
      
      NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
      using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
      trigger a build error.

      PSCI: Add deprecated API for SPD when compatibility is disabled · 5c8babcd
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch defines deprecated platform APIs to enable Trusted
      Firmware components like Secure Payload and their dispatchers(SPD)
      to continue to build and run when platform compatibility is disabled.
      This decouples the migration of platform ports to the new platform API
      from SPD and enables them to be migrated independently. The deprecated
      platform APIs defined in this patch are : platform_get_core_pos(),
      platform_get_stack() and platform_set_stack().
      
      The patch also deprecates MPIDR based context management helpers like
      cm_get_context_by_mpidr(), cm_set_context_by_mpidr() and cm_init_context().
      A mechanism to deprecate APIs and identify callers of these APIs during
      build is introduced, which is controlled by the build flag WARN_DEPRECATED.
      If WARN_DEPRECATED is defined to 1, the users of the deprecated APIs will be
      flagged either as a link error for assembly files or compile time warning
      for C files during build.

      PSCI: Switch to the new PSCI frameworks · 67487846
      Soby Mathew authored
      This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing
      the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The
      corresponding makefiles are modified as required for the new implementation.
      The platform.h header file is also is switched to the new one
      as required by the new frameworks. The build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT defaults
      to 1 to enable compatibility layer which let the existing platform ports to
      continue to build and run with minimal changes.
      
      The default weak implementation of platform_get_core_pos() is now removed from
      platform_helpers.S and is provided by the compatibility layer.
      
      Note: The Secure Payloads and their dispatchers still use the old platform
      and framework APIs and hence it is expected that the ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT build
      flag will remain enabled in subsequent patch. The compatibility for SPDs using
      the older APIs on platforms migrated to the new APIs will be added in the
      following patch.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs · 12d0d00d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
      to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
      framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
      assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
      in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
      helpers based on core position are as described below:
      
      * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
      
      These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
      'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
      linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
      the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
      validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
      if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
      safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
      the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
      
      Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
      platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
      of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
      MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
      This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
      topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
      this API before the topology setup has been done.
      
      The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
      Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
      returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
      this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
      platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
      ports later in the patch stack.
      
      * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
      
      These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
      appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
      'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
      of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
      
      * Context management helpers based on linear core position
      
      A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
      cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
      are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
      as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
      allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
      framework is done.

      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.

      Add support for BL3-1 as a reset vector · dbad1bac

      This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
      which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,

      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

      Allocate single stacks for BL1 and BL2 · 2bf28e62
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The BL images share common stack management code which provides
      one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2
      just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require
      the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack
      support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the
      RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform.
      
      This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and
      calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where
      this has to be done in the firmware.
      
      The stack allocation source files are now included via
      platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows
      each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support
      for each BL image.
      
      Each platform makefile must be updated when including this
      commit.

      Place assembler functions in separate sections · 0a30cf54
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
      support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
      into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
      macro used to declare each function label.

      Add exception vector guards · a7934d69
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      This patch adds guards so that an exception vector exceeding 32
      instructions will generate a compile-time error. This keeps the
      exception handlers in check from spilling over.

      Add support for handling runtime service requests · caa84939
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
      runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
      convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
      inter-related. It does the following:
      
      1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
      2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
      3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
         structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
      4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
         structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
      5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
         runtime service

      Introduce new exception handling framework · 07f4e078
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays
      the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The
      type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is
      handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for:
      
      1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones
         on the exception stack
      
      2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system
         register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit.
      
      SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service
      requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose
      register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All
      assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers
      (x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence
      EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly.
      
      Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change,
      the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These
      files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches.

      rework general purpose registers save and restore · 4a826dda
      Achin Gupta authored
      The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for
      saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack
      memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the
      magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch
      replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile
      time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this
      structure.
