In order to avoid unexpected traps into EL3/MON mode, this patch resets the debug registers, MDCR_EL3 and MDCR_EL2 for AArch64, and SDCR and HDCR for AArch32. MDCR_EL3/SDCR is zero'ed when EL3/MON mode is entered, at the start of BL1 and BL31/SMP_MIN. For MDCR_EL2/HDCR, this patch zero's the bits that are architecturally UNKNOWN values on reset. This is done when exiting from EL3/MON mode but only on platforms that support EL2/HYP mode but choose to exit to EL1/SVC mode.

The values of CP15BEN, nTWI & nTWE bits in SCTLR_EL1 are architecturally unknown if EL3 is AARCH64 whereas they reset to 1 if EL3 is AArch32. This might be a compatibility break for legacy AArch32 normal world software if these bits are not set to 1 when EL3 is AArch64. This patch enables the CP15BEN, nTWI and nTWE bits in the SCTLR_EL1 if the lower non-secure EL is AArch32. This unifies the SCTLR settings for lower non-secure EL in AArch32 mode for both AArch64 and AArch32 builds of Trusted Firmware.

Instead of hardcoding a level 1 table as the base translation level table, let the code decide which level is the most appropriate given the virtual address space size. As the table granularity is 4 KB, this allows the code to select level 0, 1 or 2 as base level for AArch64. This way, instead of limiting the virtual address space width to 39-31 bits, widths of 48-25 bit can be used. For AArch32, this change allows the code to select level 1 or 2 as the base translation level table and use virtual address space width of 32-25 bits. Also removed some unused definitions related to translation tables. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#362 Change-Id: Ie3bb5d6d1a4730a26700b09827c79f37ca3cdb65

This patch adds an API in runtime service framework to invoke the registered handler corresponding to the SMC function identifier. This is helpful for AArch32 because the number of arguments required by the handler is more than registers available as per AArch32 program calling conventions and requires the use of stack. Hence this new API will do the necessary argument setup and invoke the appropriate handler. Although this API is primarily intended for AArch32, it can be used for AArch64 as well.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes introduced are as follows: * Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both cold and warm boots. * Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function `bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous `psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated. * The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific header. * The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime firmware using a different SMC context. NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()` is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be be aware of this change in sequence.

The AArch32 long descriptor format and the AArch64 descriptor format correspond to each other which allows possible sharing of xlat_tables library code between AArch64 and AArch32. This patch refactors the xlat_tables library code to seperate the common functionality from architecture specific code. Prior to this patch, all of the xlat_tables library code were in `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file. The refactored code is now in `lib/xlat_tables/` directory. The AArch64 specific programming for xlat_tables is in `lib/xlat_tables/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` and the rest of the code common to AArch64 and AArch32 is in `lib/xlat_tables/xlat_tables_common.c`. Also the data types used in xlat_tables library APIs are reworked to make it compatible between AArch64 and AArch32. The `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file now includes the new xlat_tables library files to retain compatibility for existing platform ports. The macros related to xlat_tables library are also moved from `include/lib/aarch64/arch.h` to the header `include/lib/xlat_tables.h`. NOTE: THE `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` FILE IS DEPRECATED AND PLATFORM PORTS ARE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE THE NEW XLAT_TABLES LIBRARY FILES IN THEIR MAKEFILES.

At the moment, the memory translation library allows to create memory mappings of 2 types: - Device nGnRE memory (named MT_DEVICE in the library); - Normal, Inner Write-back non-transient, Outer Write-back non-transient memory (named MT_MEMORY in the library). As a consequence, the library code treats the memory type field as a boolean: everything that is not device memory is normal memory and vice-versa. In reality, the ARMv8 architecture allows up to 8 types of memory to be used at a single time for a given exception level. This patch reworks the memory attributes such that the memory type is now defined as an integer ranging from 0 to 7 instead of a boolean. This makes it possible to extend the list of memory types supported by the memory translation library. The priority system dictating memory attributes for overlapping memory regions has been extended to cope with these changes but the algorithm at its core has been preserved. When a memory region is re-mapped with different memory attributes, the memory translation library examines the former attributes and updates them only if the new attributes create a more restrictive mapping. This behaviour is unchanged, only the manipulation of the value has been modified to cope with the new format. This patch also introduces a new type of memory mapping in the memory translation library: MT_NON_CACHEABLE, meaning Normal, Inner Non-cacheable, Outer Non-cacheable memory. This can be useful to map a non-cacheable memory region, such as a DMA buffer for example. The rules around the Execute-Never (XN) bit in a translation table for an MT_NON_CACHEABLE memory mapping have been aligned on the rules used for MT_MEMORY mappings: - If the memory is read-only then it is also executable (XN = 0); - If the memory is read-write then it is not executable (XN = 1). The shareability field for MT_NON_CACHEABLE mappings is always set as 'Outer-Shareable'. Note that this is not strictly needed since shareability is only relevant if the memory is a Normal Cacheable memory type, but this is to align with the existing device memory mappings setup. All Device and Normal Non-cacheable memory regions are always treated as Outer Shareable, regardless of the translation table shareability attributes. This patch also removes the 'ATTR_SO' and 'ATTR_SO_INDEX' #defines. They were introduced to map memory as Device nGnRnE (formerly called "Strongly-Ordered" memory in the ARMv7 architecture) but were not used anywhere in the code base. Removing them avoids any confusion about the memory types supported by the library. Upstream platforms do not currently use the MT_NON_CACHEABLE memory type. NOTE: THIS CHANGE IS SOURCE COMPATIBLE BUT PLATFORMS THAT RELY ON THE BINARY VALUES OF `mmap_attr_t` or the `attr` argument of `mmap_add_region()` MAY BE BROKEN.

The shared memory region on ARM platforms contains the mailboxes and, on Juno, the payload area for communication with the SCP. This shared memory may be configured as normal memory or device memory at build time by setting the platform flag 'PLAT_ARM_SHARED_RAM_CACHED' (on Juno, the value of this flag is defined by 'MHU_PAYLOAD_CACHED'). When set as normal memory, the platform port performs the corresponding cache maintenance operations. From a functional point of view, this is the equivalent of setting the shared memory as device memory, so there is no need to maintain both options. This patch removes the option to specify the shared memory as normal memory on ARM platforms. Shared memory is always treated as device memory. Cache maintenance operations are no longer needed and have been replaced by data memory barriers to guarantee that payload and MHU are accessed in the right order.

In the situation that EL1 is selected as the exception level for the next image upon BL31 exit for a processor that supports EL2, the context management code must configure all essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. VTTBR_EL2 should be part of this set of EL2 registers because: - The ARMv8-A architecture does not define a reset value for this register. - Cache maintenance operations depend on VTTBR_EL2.VMID even when non-secure EL1&0 stage 2 address translation are disabled. This patch initializes the VTTBR_EL2 register to 0 when bypassing EL2 to address this issue. Note that this bug has not yet manifested itself on FVP or Juno because VTTBR_EL2.VMID resets to 0 on the Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. Change-Id: I58ce2d16a71687126f437577a506d93cb5eecf33

This patch adds a driver for ARM GICv3 systems that need to run software stacks where affinity routing is enabled across all privileged exception levels for both security states. This driver is a partial implementation of the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC architecture version 3.0 and version 4.0 (ARM IHI 0069A). The driver does not cater for legacy support of interrupts and asymmetric configurations. The existing GIC driver has been preserved unchanged. The common code for GICv2 and GICv3 systems has been refactored into a new file, `drivers/arm/gic/common/gic_common.c`. The corresponding header is in `include/drivers/arm/gic_common.h`. The driver interface is implemented in `drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3_main.c`. The corresponding header is in `include/drivers/arm/gicv3.h`. Helper functions are implemented in `drivers/arm/gic/v3/arm_gicv3_helpers.c` and are accessible through the `drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3_private.h` header.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11 (System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G). This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of changes: 1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache are removed. 2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA. 3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down. NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

The required platform constant PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE is unnecessary since CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE effectively provides the same information. CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE is preferred since this is an architecturally defined term and allows comparison with the corresponding hardware register value. Replace all usage of PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE with CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE. Also, add a runtime assert in BL1 to check that the provided CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE matches the value provided in CTR_EL0.

Calls to system register read accessors functions may be optimised out by the compiler if called twice in a row for the same register. This is because the compiler is not aware that the result from the instruction may be modified by external agents. Therefore, if nothing modifies the register between the 2 reads as far as the compiler knows then it might consider that it is useless to read it twice and emit only 1 call. This behaviour is faulty for registers that may not have the same value if read twice in succession. E.g.: counters, timer control/countdown registers, GICv3 interrupt status registers and so on. The same problem happens for calls to system register write accessors functions. The compiler might optimise out some calls if it considers that it will produce the same result. Again, this behaviour is faulty for cases where intermediate writes to these registers make a difference in the system. This patch fixes the problem by making these assembly register accesses volatile. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#273 Change-Id: I33903bc4cc4eea8a8d87bc2c757909fbb0138925

Prior to this patch, the errata workarounds were applied for any version of the CPU in the release build and in the debug build an assert failure resulted when the revision did not match. This patch applies errata workarounds in the Cortex-A57 reset handler only if the 'variant' and 'revision' fields read from the MIDR_EL1 match. In the debug build, a warning message is printed for each errata workaround which is not applied.

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down seqeunces. An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a platform.

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. Change-Id: If9fbb2417e82d2226e47568203d5a369f39d3b0f

Current ATF uses a direct physical-to-virtual mapping, that is, a physical address is mapped to the same address in the virtual space. For example, physical address 0x8000_0000 is mapped to 0x8000_0000 virtual. This approach works fine for FVP as all its physical addresses fall into 0 to 4GB range. But for other platform where all I/O addresses are 48-bit long, If we follow the same direct mapping, we would need virtual address range from 0 to 0x8fff_ffff_ffff, which is about 144TB. This requires a significant amount of memory for MMU tables and it is not necessary to use that much virtual space in ATF. The patch is to enable mapping a physical address range to an arbitrary virtual address range (instead of flat mapping) Changed "base" to "base_va" and added "base_pa" in mmap_region_t and modified functions such as mmap_add_region and init_xlation_table etc. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#158
