      Replace some memset call by zeromem · 32f0d3c6
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      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 unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      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.

      AArch32: Fix the stack alignment issue · 9f3ee61c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      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

      PSCI: Do psci_setup() as part of std_svc_setup() · 58e946ae
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.

      PSCI: Introduce PSCI Library argument structure · f426fc05
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.

      AArch32: Support in SP_MIN to receive arguments from BL2 · d9915518
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      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.

      AArch32: Refactor SP_MIN to support RESET_TO_SP_MIN · 3bdf0e5d
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      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.

      AArch32: add a minimal secure payload (SP_MIN) · c11ba852
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.
