      Support asynchronous method for BL3-2 initialization · faaa2e76
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch adds support for BL3-2 initialization by asynchronous
      method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
      After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD
      service handler. The SPD service handler initializes the CPU context
      to BL3-3 entrypoint depending on the return function indentifier from
      TSP initialization.

      Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler · 53fdcebd
      Juan Castillo authored
      The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
      (BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
      cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
      until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.
      
      This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
      subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
      guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.
      
      Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
      platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
      becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
      bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
      porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.
      
      The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
      because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
      (for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
      a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
      to fvp_def.h.
      
      The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

      Optimize EL3 register state stored in cpu_context structure · fdfabec1
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in
      cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are:
      
        * cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable
          only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence
          it need not be saved to cpu_context.
      
        * cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced
          SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold
          and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to
          modify the access controls during normal execution and hence
          they are expected to remain static.

      Rework the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack · 626ed510
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
      optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
      of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
      to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
      reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
      buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
      the crash buffer trivial.
      
      Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
      invoked from BL3-1.

      This patch reworks the manner in which the M,A, C, SA, I, WXN & EE bits of

      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

      Remove coherent stack usage from the warm boot path · b51da821
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the
      warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent
      memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being
      powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from
      reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These
      changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2.
      
      The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved
      and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system
      registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

      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.

      fvp: Reuse BL1 and BL2 memory through image overlaying · a1b6db6c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the
      BL3-2 image as much memory as possible.
      
      Considering these two facts:
       - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once
         in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed.
       - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the
         PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the
         NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x
         images;
      Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that
      the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2.
      
      On FVP we choose to put:
       - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS
         sections overlaying BL1;
       - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections
         overlaying BL2;
      
      This is illustrated by the following diagram:
      
      0x0404_0000 ------------    ------------------
                  |   BL1    | <= |  BL3-1 NOBITS  |
                  ------------ <= ------------------
                  |          | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS |
                  ------------    ------------------
                  |   BL2    | <= |  BL3-2 NOBITS  |
                  ------------ <= ------------------
                  |          | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS |
      0x0400_0000 ------------    ------------------
      
      New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check
      at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite
      BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define
      them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check
      image overlaying.

      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.

      Move BL porting functions into platform.h · dec5e0d1

      Some platform porting functions were in BL specific header files.
      These have been moved to platform.h so that all porting functions

      Obsolete BL headers files have been removed.
      
      Also, the weak declaration of the init_bl2_mem_layout() function
      has been moved out the header file and into the source file
      (bl_common.c) using the more succinct #pragma syntax. This
      mitigates the risk of 2 weak definitions being created and the
      wrong one being picked up by the compiler.

      Make the memory layout more flexible · a37255a2
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Currently the platform code gets to define the base address of each
      boot loader image. However, the linker scripts couteract this
      flexibility by enforcing a fixed overall layout of the different
      images. For example, they require that the BL3-1 image sits below
      the BL2 image. Choosing BL3-1 and BL2 base addresses in such a way
      that it violates this constraint makes the build fail at link-time.
      
      This patch requires the platform code to now define a limit address
      for each image. The linker scripts check that the image fits within
      these bounds so they don't rely anymore on the position of a given
      image in regard to the others.

      Non-Secure Interrupt support during Standard SMC processing in TSP · 239b04fa
      Soby Mathew authored
      Implements support for Non Secure Interrupts preempting the
      Standard SMC call in EL1. Whenever an IRQ is trapped in the
      Secure world we securely handover to the Normal world
      to process the interrupt. The normal world then issues
      "resume" smc call to resume the previous interrupted SMC call.

      Introduce interrupt handling framework in BL3-1 · dce74b89
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch adds a common handler for FIQ and IRQ exceptions in the
      BL3-1 runtime exception vector table. This function determines the
      interrupt type and calls its handler. A crash is reported if an
      inconsistency in the interrupt management framework is detected. In
      the event of a spurious interrupt, execution resumes from the
      instruction where the interrupt was generated.
      
      This patch also removes 'cm_macros.S' as its contents have been moved
      to 'runtime_exceptions.S'

      Introduce interrupt registration framework in BL3-1 · e1333f75
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch introduces a framework for registering interrupts routed to
      EL3. The interrupt routing model is governed by the SCR_EL3.IRQ and
      FIQ bits and the security state an interrupt is generated in. The
      framework recognizes three type of interrupts depending upon which
      exception level and security state they should be handled in
      i.e. Secure EL1 interrupts, Non-secure interrupts and EL3
      interrupts. It provides an API and macros that allow a runtime service
      to register an handler for a type of interrupt and specify the routing
      model. The framework validates the routing model and uses the context
      management framework to ensure that it is applied to the SCR_EL3 prior
      to entry into the target security state. It saves the handler in
      internal data structures. An API is provided to retrieve the handler
      when an interrupt of a particular type is asserted. Registration is
      expected to be done once by the primary CPU. The same handler and
      routing model is used for all CPUs.
      
      Support for EL3 interrupts will be added to the framework in the
      future. A makefile flag has been added to allow the FVP port choose
      between ARM GIC v2 and v3 support in EL3. The latter version is
      currently unsupported.
      
      A framework for handling interrupts in BL3-1 will be introduced in
      subsequent patches. The default routing model in the absence of any
      handlers expects no interrupts to be routed to EL3.

      Add context library API to change a bit in SCR_EL3 · c429b5e9
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch adds an API to write to any bit in the SCR_EL3 member of
      the 'cpu_context' structure of the current CPU for a specified
      security state. This API will be used in subsequent patches which
      introduce interrupt management in EL3 to specify the interrupt routing
      model when execution is not in EL3.
      
      It also renames the cm_set_el3_elr() function to cm_set_elr_el3()
      which is more in line with the system register name being targeted by
      the API.

      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 memory information passing to BL3-x images · 6871c5d3
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      The issues addressed in this patch are:
      
      1. Remove meminfo_t from the common interfaces in BL3-x,
      expecting that platform code will find a suitable mechanism
      to determine the memory extents in these images and provide
      it to the BL3-x images.
      
      2. Remove meminfo_t and bl31_plat_params_t from all FVP BL3-x
      code as the images use link-time information to determine
      memory extents.
      
      meminfo_t is still used by common interface in BL1/BL2 for
      loading images

      It rearranges the bl31_args struct into
      bl31_params and bl31_plat_params which provide the

      specific data via x0 and x1
      
      On the FVP platform BL3-1 params and BL3-1 plat params
      and its constituents are stored at the start of TZDRAM.

      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.

      Add build configuration for timer save/restore · 2da8d8bf
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
      part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
      non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
      from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
      non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
      sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
      of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
      unnecessary.
      
      This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
      to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
      upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
      them.

      Set SCR_EL3.RW correctly before exiting bl31_main · bb5ffdba
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      SCR_EL3.RW was not updated immediately before exiting bl31_main() and
      running BL3-3. If a AArch32 Secure-EL1 Payload had just been
      initialised, then the SCR_EL3.RW bit would be left indicating a
      32-bit BL3-3, which may not be correct.
      
      This patch explicitly sets SCR_EL3.RW appropriately based on the
      provided SPSR_EL3 value for the BL3-3 image.

      Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting · a43d431b
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
      taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
      to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
      previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
      This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
      contents for debugging and analysis.
      
      This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
      to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
      Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.
      
      panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
      and prints the PC value in release mode.
      
      The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
      The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
      since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
      and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
      utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
      crash happens and hence the rename.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#79 Improve reporting of unhandled exception
