      drivers/console: Reimplement MUTLI_CONSOLE_API framework in C · 91b48c9f
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      Now that we have switched to using the stack in MULTI_CONSOLE_API
      framework functions and have factored all code involved in crash
      reporting out into a separate file, there's really no reason to keep the
      main framework code in assembly anymore. This patch rewrites it in C
      which allows us to have a single implementation across aarch32/64 and
      should be much easier to maintain going forward.

      drivers/console: Link console framework code by default · 985ee0b7
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      This patch makes the build system link the console framework code by
      default, like it already does with other common libraries (e.g. cache
      helpers). This should not make a difference in practice since TF is
      linked with --gc-sections, so the linker will garbage collect all
      functions and data that are not referenced by any other code. Thus, if a
      platform doesn't want to include console code for size reasons and
      doesn't make any references to console functions, the code will not be
      included in the final binary.
      
      To avoid compatibility issues with older platform ports, only make this
      change for the MULTI_CONSOLE_API.

      plat/common/crash_console_helpers.S: Fix MULTI_CONSOLE_API support · 63c52d00
      Julius Werner authored
      Crash reporting via the default consoles registered by MULTI_CONSOLE_API
      has been broken since commit d35cc347
      
       (Console: Use callee-saved
      registers), which was introduced to allow console drivers written in C.
      It's not really possible with the current crash reporting framework to
      support console drivers in C, however we should make sure that the
      existing assembly drivers that do support crash reporting continue to
      work through the MULTI_CONSOLE_API.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by creating custom console_putc() and
      console_flush() implementations for the crash reporting case that do not
      use the stack. Platforms that want to use this feature will have to link
      plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S explicitly.
      
      Also update the documentation to better reflect the new reality (of this
      being an option rather than the expected default for most platforms).

      Multi-console: Deprecate the `finish_console_register` macro · cc5859ca
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      The `finish_console_register` macro is used by the multi console
      framework to register the `console_t` driver callbacks. It relied
      on weak references to the `ldr` instruction to populate 0 to the
      callback in case the driver has not defined the appropriate
      function. Use of `ldr` instruction to load absolute address to a
      reference makes the binary position dependant. These instructions
      should be replaced with adrp/adr instruction for position independant
      executable(PIE). But adrp/adr instructions don't work well with weak
      references as described in GNU ld bugzilla issue 22589.
      
      This patch defines a new version of `finish_console_register` macro
      which can spcify which driver callbacks are valid and deprecates the
      old one. If any of the argument is not specified, then the macro
      populates 0 for that callback. Hence the functionality of the previous
      deprecated macro is preserved. The USE_FINISH_CONSOLE_REG_2 define
      is used to select the new variant of the macro and will be removed
      once the deprecated variant is removed.
      
      All the upstream console drivers have been migrated to use the new
      macro in this patch.
      
      NOTE: Platforms be aware that the new variant of the
      `finish_console_register` should be used and the old variant is
      deprecated.

      Ensure read and write of flags are 32 bit · 8abcdf92
      Daniel Boulby authored
      
      
      In 'console_set_scope' and when registering a console, field 'flags' of
      'console_t' is assigned a 32-bit value. However, when it is actually
      used, the functions perform 64-bit reads to access its value. This patch
      changes all 64-bit reads to 32-bit reads.

      multi console: Assert that consoles aren't registered twice · c2e05bb7
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      In the multi console driver, allowing to register the same console more
      than once may result in an infinte loop when putc is called.
      
      If, for example, a boot message is trying to be printed, but the
      consoles in the loop in the linked list are runtime consoles, putc will
      iterate forever looking for a console that can print boot messages (or
      a NULL pointer that will never come).
      
      This loop in the linked list can occur after restoring the system from a
      system suspend. The boot console is registered during the cold boot in
      BL31, but the runtime console is registered even in the warm boot path.
      Consoles are always added to the start of the linked list when they are
      registered, so this it what should happen if they were actually
      different structures:
      
         console_list -> NULL
         console_list -> BOOT -> NULL
         console_list -> RUNTIME -> BOOT -> NULL
         console_list -> RUNTIME -> RUNTIME -> BOOT -> NULL
      
      In practice, the two runtime consoles are the same one, so they create
      this loop:
      
         console_list -> RUNTIME -.    X -> BOOT -> NULL
                             ^    |
                             `----'
      
      This patch adds an assertion to detect this problem. The assertion will
      fail whenever the same structure tries to be registered while being on
      the list.
      
      In order to assert this, console_is_registered() has been implemented.
      It returns 1 if the specified console is registered, 0 if not.

      Improve MULTI_CONSOLE_API deprecation warnings · bc1a03c7
      Dan Handley authored
      
      
      For platforms that have not migrated to MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1, there
      are a lot of confusing deprecated declaration warnings relating to
      use of console_init() and console_uninit(). Some of these relate to use
      by the generic code, not the platform code. These functions are not really
      deprecated but *removed* when MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1.
      
      This patch consolidates these warnings into a single preprocessor warning.
      The __deprecated attribute is removed from the console_init() and
      console_uninit() declarations.
      
      For preprocessor warnings like this to not cause fatal build errors,
      this patch adds -Wno-error=cpp to the build flags when
      ERROR_DEPRECATED == 0.
      This option (and -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations) is now added to
      CPPFLAGS instead of TF_CFLAGS to ensure the build flags are used in the
      assembler as well as the compiler.
      
      This patch also disentangles the MULTI_CONSOLE_API and ERROR_DEPRECATED
      build flags by defaulting MULTI_CONSOLE_API to 0 instead of
      ERROR_DEPRECATED. This allows platforms that have not migrated to
      MULTI_CONSOLE_API to use ERROR_DEPRECATED == 1 to emit a more meaningful
      build error.
      
      Finally, this patch bans use of MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1 and AARCH32, since
      the AArch32 console implementation does not support
      MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1.

      Add new function-pointer-based console API · 9536bae6
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console
      instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead
      of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init),
      consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register())
      that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console
      operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list.
      
      The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API,
      which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code
      will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but
      should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully
      be removed at some point in the future.
      
      The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and
      crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash
      console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active
      active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first
      handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane
      default upon registration that can be overridden with the
      console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism
      to this framework will be added with a later patch.
      
      This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported
      to AArch32 as well if desired.

      Move console drivers to AArch64 folder · 9c94d3b3

      This patch moves the various assembly console drivers
      into `aarch64` architecture specific folder. Stub files,
      which include files from new location, are retained at the
      original location for platform compatibility reasons.
