      arm_fpga: Add post-build linker script · 01301b11
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      For the Arm Ltd. FPGAs to run, we need to load several payloads into the
      FPGA's memory:
      - Some trampoline code at address 0x0, to jump to BL31's entry point.
      - The actual BL31 binary at the beginning of DRAM.
      - The (generic) DTB image to describe the hardware.
      - The actual non-secure payloads (kernel, ramdisks, ...)
      
      The latter is application specific, but the first three blobs are rather
      generic.
      Since the uploader tool supports ELF binaries, it seems helpful to
      combine these three images into one .axf file, as this also simplifies
      the command line.
      
      Add a post-build linker script, that combines those three bits into one
      ELF file, together with their specific load addresses.
      Include a call to "ld" with this linker script in the platform Makefile,
      so it will be build automatically. The result will be called "bl31.axf".

      arm_fpga: Add ROM trampoline · f45c6d86
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The application cores of the FPGAs used in Arm Ltd. start execution at
      address 0x0. This is the location of some (emulated) ROM area (which can
      be written to by the uploading tool).
      Since the arm_fpga port is configured to run from DRAM, we load BL31 to
      the beginning of DRAM (mapped at 2GB). This requires some small
      trampoline code in the "ROM" to jump to the BL31 entry point.
      
      To avoid some extra magic binary, add a tiny assembly file with that
      trivial jump instruction to the tree, so this binary can be created
      alongside BL31.

      arm_fpga: Add devicetree file · b48883c7
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The FPGA images used in Arm Ltd. focus on CPU cores, so they share a
      common platform, with a minimal set of peripherals (interconnect, GIC,
      UART).
      This allows to support most platforms with a single devicetree file.
      The topology and number of CPU cores differ, but those will added at
      runtime, in BL31. Other adjustments (GICR size, SPE node, command line)
      are also done at this point.
      
      Add the common devicetree file to TF-A's build system, so it can be
      build together with BL31. At runtime, the resulting .dtb file should be
      uploaded to the address given with FPGA_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE at build time.

      arm_fpga: Add support for unknown MPIDs · 1994e562
      Javier Almansa Sobrino authored
      
      
      This patch allows the system to fallback to a default CPU library
      in case the MPID does not match with any of the supported ones.
      
      This feature can be enabled by setting SUPPORT_UNKNOWN_MPID build
      option to 1 (enabled by default only on arm_fpga platform).
      
      This feature can be very dangerous on a production image and
      therefore it MUST be disabled for Release images.

      arm_fpga: Add support to populate the CPU nodes in the DTB · 20ff991e
      Javier Almansa Sobrino authored
      
      
      At the moment BL31 dynamically discovers the CPU topology of an FPGA
      system at runtime, but does not export it to the non-secure world.
      Any BL33 user would typically looks at the devicetree to learn about
      existing CPUs.
      
      This patch exports a minimum /cpus node in a devicetree to satisfy
      the binding. This means that no cpumaps or caches are described.
      This could be added later if needed.
      
      An existing /cpus node in the DT will make the code bail out with a
      message.

      arm_fpga: Support uploading a custom command line · fa30f73b
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The command line for BL33 payloads is typically taken from the DTB. On
      "normal" systems the bootloader will put the right version in there, but
      we typically don't use one on the FPGAs.
      To avoid editing (and possibly re-packaging) the DTB for every change in
      the command line, try to read it from some "magic" memory location
      instead. It can be easily placed there by the tool that uploads the
      other payloads to the FPGA's memory. BL31 will then replace the existing
      command line in the DTB with that new string.
      
      To avoid reading garbage, check the memory location for containing a
      magic value. This is conveniently chosen to be a simple ASCII string, so
      it can just preceed the actual command line in a text file:
      --------------------------------
      CMD:console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 debug loglevel=8
      --------------------------------

      GICv3: GIC-600: Detect GIC-600 at runtime · b4ad365a
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The only difference between GIC-500 and GIC-600 relevant to TF-A is the
      differing power management sequence.
      A certain GIC implementation is detectable at runtime, for instance by
      checking the IIDR register. Let's add that test before initiating the
      GIC-600 specific sequence, so the code can be used on both GIC-600 and
      GIC-500 chips alike, without deciding on a GIC chip at compile time.
      
      This means that the GIC-500 "driver" is now redundant. To allow minimal
      platform support, add a switch to disable GIC-600 support.

      arm_fpga: Read generic timer counter frequency from DT · 670c66af
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The ARM Generic Timer DT binding describes an (optional) property to
      declare the counter frequency. Its usage is normally discouraged, as the
      value should be read from the CNTFRQ_EL0 system register.
      
      However in our case we can use it to program this register in the first
      place, which avoids us to hard code a counter frequency into the code.
      We keep some default value in, if the DT lacks that property for
      whatever reason.

      arm_fpga: Use Generic UART · 93bb7a0a
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The SCP firmware on the ARM FPGA initialises the UART already. This allows
      us to treat the PL011 as an SBSA Generic UART, which does not require
      any further setup.
      
      This in particular removes the need for any baudrate and base clock related
      settings to be hard coded into the BL31 image.

      plat/arm/board/arm_fpga: Compile with additional CPU libraries · 4b5793c9
      Oliver Swede authored
      
      
      This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
      with multiple FPGA images.
      
      BL31 behaves differently depending on whether or not the CPUs in the
      system use cache coherency, and as a result any CPU libraries that are
      compiled together must serve processors that are consistent in this
      regard.
      
      This compiles a different set of CPU libraries depending on whether or
      not the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY is enabled at build-time to indicate the
      CPUs support hardware-level support for cache coherency. This build
      flag is used in the makefile in the same way as the Arm FVP port.

      plat/arm/board/arm_fpga: Enable port for alternative cluster configurations · e726c758
      Oliver Swede authored
      
      
      This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
      with multiple FPGA images.
      
      The BL31 port that is uploaded as a payload to the FPGA with an image
      should cater for a wide variety of system configurations. This patch
      makes the necessary changes to enable it to function with images whose
      cluster configurations may be larger (either by utilizing more
      clusters, more CPUs per cluster, more threads in each CPU, or a
      combination) than the initial image being used for testing.
      
      As part of this, the hard-coded values that configure the size of the
      array describing the topology of the power domain tree are increased
      to max. 8 clusters, max. 8 cores per cluster & max 4 threads per core.
      This ensures the port works with cluster configurations up to these
      sizes. When there are too many entries for the number of available PEs,
      e.g. if there is a variable number of CPUs between clusters, then there
      will be empty entries in the array. This is permitted and the PSCI
      library will still function as expected. While this increases its size,
      this shouldn't be an issue in the context of the size of BL31, and is
      worth the trade-off for the extra compatibility.

      plat/arm/board/arm_fpga: Enable basic BL31 port for an FPGA image · 536d906a
      Oliver Swede authored
      
      
      This adds the minimal functions and definitions to create a basic
      BL31 port for an initial FPGA image, in order for the port to be
      uploaded to one the FPGA boards operated by an internal group within
      Arm, such that BL31 runs as a payload for an image.
      
      Future changes will enable the port for a wide range of system
      configurations running on the FPGA boards to ensure compatibility with
      multiple FPGA images.
      
      It is expected that this will replace the FPGA fork of the Linux kernel
      bootwrapper by performing similar secure-world initialization and setup
      through the use of drivers and other well-established methods, before
      passing control to the kernel, which will act as the BL33 payload and
      run in EL2NS.
      
      This change introduces a basic, loadable port with the console
      initialized by setting the baud rate and base address of the UART as
      configured by the Zeus image.
      
      It is a BL31-only port, and RESET_TO_BL31 is enabled to reflect this.
