      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: Remove SPE PMU DT node if SPE is not available · 40a0de19
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) is an architectural feature we
      can safely detect at runtime. However it still relies on one piece of
      platform-specific information: the interrupt line it is connected
      to. This requires SPE to be described in a devicetree node.
      
      Since SPE support varies with the CPU cores found on an FPGA image, we
      should detect the presence of SPE at runtime, and remove a potentially
      existing SPE PMU node from the DT.
      
      This allows to always have the SPE node in a generic devicetree file,
      without risking exposing it on a CPU without this feature.

      arm_fpga: Adjust GICR size in DT to match number of cores · 283e5595
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The size of a GICv3 redistributor region depends on the number of
      cores in the system. For the ARM FPGA port, we detect the topology at
      runtime, and adjust the CPU DT nodes accordingly.
      Now the size of the GICR region must also be adjusted, or Linux will
      fail to initialise the GICv3.
      
      Use the newly introduced function to overwrite the GICR size entry in
      the GICv3 reg property. We count the number of existing cores by
      iterating over the GICR frames until we find the LAST bit set in TYPER.

      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

      arm_fpga: Fix MPIDR topology checks · 53baf7f0
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() implementation for the Arm FPGA port has
      some issues, which leads to problems when matching GICv3 redistributors
      with cores:
      - The power domain tree was not taking multithreading into account, so
        we ended up with the wrong mapping between MPIDRs and core IDs.
      - Before even considering an MPIDR, we try to make sure Aff2 is 0.
        Unfortunately this is the cluster ID when the MT bit is set.
      - We mask off the MT bit in MPIDR, before basing decisions on it.
      - When detecting the MT bit, we are properly calculating the thread ID,
        but don't account for the shift in the core and cluster ID checks.
      
      Those problems lead to early rejections of MPIDRs values, in particular
      when called from the GIC code. As a result, CPU_ON for secondary cores
      was failing for most of the cores.
      
      Fix this by properly handling the MT bit in plat_core_pos_by_mpidr(),
      also pulling in FPGA_MAX_PE_PER_CPU when populating the power domain
      tree.

      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 UART address from DT · dee3042c
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      The arm_fpga port requires a DTB, to launch a BL33 payload.
      To make this port more flexible, we can also use the information in the
      DT to configure the console driver.
      For a start, find the DT node pointed to by the stdout-path property, and
      read the base address from there.
      This assumes for now that the stdout-path points to a PL011 UART.
      
      This allows to remove platform specific addresses from the image. We
      keep the original base address for the crash console.

      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.

      plat/arm/board/arm_fpga: Enable position-independent execution · 62056e4e

      This allows the BL31 port to run with position-independent execution
      enabled so that it can be ran from any address in the system.
      This increases the flexibility of the image, allowing it to be ran from
      other locations rather than only its hardcoded absolute address
      (currently set to the typical DRAM base of 2GB). This may be useful for
      future images that describe system configurations with other memory
      layouts (e.g. where SRAM is included).
      
      It does this by setting ENABLE_PIE=1 and changing the absolute
      address to 0. The load address of bl31.bin can then be specified by
      the -l [load address] argument in the fpga-run command (additionally,
      this address is required by any preceding payloads that specify the
      start address. For ELF payloads this is usually extracted automatically
      by reading the entrypoint address in the header, however bl31.bin is a
      different file format so has this additional dependency).

      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: Add PSCI implementation for FPGA images · 7ee4db6e
      Oliver Swede authored
      
      
      This adds a basic PSCI implementation allow secondary CPUs to be
      released from an initial state and continue through to the warm boot
      entrypoint.
      
      Each secondary CPU is kept in a holding pen, whereby it polls the value
      representing its hold state, by reading this from an array that acts as
      a table for all the PEs. The hold states are initially set to 0 for all
      cores to indicate that the executing core should continue polling.
      To prevent the secondary CPUs from interfering with the platform's
      initialization, they are only updated by the primary CPU once the cold
      boot sequence has completed and fpga_pwr_domain_on(mpidr) is called.
      The polling target CPU will then read 1 (which indicates that it should
      branch to the warm reset entrypoint) and then jump to that address
      rather than continue polling.
      
      In addition to the initial polling behaviour of the secondary CPUs
      before their warm boot reset sequence, they are also placed in a
      low-power wfe() state at the end of each poll; accordingly, the PSCI
      fpga_pwr_domain_on(mpidr) function also signals an event to all cores
      (after updating the target CPU's hold entry) to wake them from this
      state, allowing any secondary CPUs that are still polling to check
      their hold state again.
      This method is in accordance with both the PSCI and Linux kernel
      recommendations, as the lessened overhead reduces the energy
      consumption associated with the busy-loop.
      
      The table of hold entries is implemented by a global array as shared SRAM
      (which is used by other platforms in similar implementations) is not
      available on the FPGA images.

      plat/arm/board/arm_fpga: Use preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow · 5cfe699f
      Oliver Swede authored
      This makes use of the PRELOADED_BL33_BASE flag to indicate to BL31 that
      the BL33 payload (kernel) has already been loaded and resides in memory;
      BL31 will then jump to the non-secure address.
      
      For this port the BL33 payload is the Linux kernel, and in accordance
      with the pre-kernel setup requirements (as specified in the `Booting
      AArch64 Linux' documentation:
      https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt
      
      ),
      this change also sets up the primary CPU's registers x0-x3 so they are
      the expected values, which includes the address of the DTB at x0.
      
      An external linker script is currently required to combine BL31, the
      BL33 payload, and any other software images to create an ELF file that
      can be uploaded to the FPGA board along with the bit file. It therefore
      has dependencies on the value of PRELOADED_BL33_BASE (kernel base) and
      the DTB base (plus any other relevant base addresses used to
      distinguish the different ELF sections), both of which are set in this
      patch.

      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.
