Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems. This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces MMU-enabling without using stacks. Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same time. NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2, disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.

When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure that they are the same. This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic. The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header where the functions are. Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation tables have been fixed.

This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file. Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise the other registers are available for platform use.

This patch updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware to set the reset values. The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower EL. This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1. This patch also corrects the following typos: "NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions" Change-Id: Ia8940b8351dc27bc09e2138b011e249655041cfc Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.

At present, warm-booted CPUs keep their caches disabled when enabling MMU, and remains so until they enter coherency later. On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, for which HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build flag would be enabled, warm-booted CPUs can have both caches and MMU enabled at once.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points has been added. Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths: - Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory before entering the PSCI SMC handler. - Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before return to normal world. - Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry to a low power state which implies either standby or power down. As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface. - Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby or power up operation has completed. To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware one can perform the following calculation: (exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr). The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the frequency of the counter. Change-Id: Ie3b8f3d16409b6703747093b3a2d5c7429ad0166 Signed-off-by: dp-arm <dimitris.papastamos@arm.com>

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.

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU, which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size and performance. COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary CPU distinction. If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code. All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the normal boot flow. For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform APIs become optional: - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(); - plat_is_my_cpu_primary(). The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that. User Guide updated as well. Change-Id: Ic5b474e61b7aec1377d1e0b6925d17dfc376c46b

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.

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has a programmable or fixed reset vector address. If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset results in highly complex conditional code relating to the RESET_TO_BL31 option. This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows: 1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot; 2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset simultaneously; 3) Run the CPU init code. This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code. This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for different types of systems. NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION. OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the assembler using the .size directive. To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc' macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro. The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if endfunc is omitted.

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus. This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled. This change removes the need: 1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation. 2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run. This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds. Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be executed or an overridden version of the code. The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been applied. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issue#275 Change-Id: Id295f106e4fda23d6736debdade2ac7f2a9a9053

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.

This patch disables routing of external aborts from lower exception levels to EL3 and ensures that a SError interrupt generated as a result of execution in EL3 is taken locally instead of a lower exception level. The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not been directly initiated by the normal world.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset (BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU) until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization. This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU. Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1. The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details (for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved to fvp_def.h. The porting guide has been updated accordingly. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#219 Change-Id: If675a1de8e8d25122b7fef147cb238d939f90b5e

This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving the crash buffer trivial. Also now panic() will use crash reporting if invoked from BL3-1. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#199 Change-Id: I79d27a4524583d723483165dc40801f45e627da5

This patch reworks the cold boot path across the BL1, BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 boot loader stages to not use stacks allocated in coherent memory for early platform setup and enabling the MMU. Stacks allocated in normal memory are used instead. Attributes for stack memory change from nGnRnE when the MMU is disabled to Normal WBWA Inner-shareable when the MMU and data cache are enabled. It is possible for the CPU to read stale stack memory after the MMU is enabled from another CPUs cache. Hence, it is unsafe to turn on the MMU and data cache while using normal stacks when multiple CPUs are a part of the same coherency domain. It is safe to do so in the cold boot path as only the primary cpu executes it. The secondary cpus are in a quiescent state. This patch does not remove the allocation of coherent stack memory. That is done in a subsequent patch. Change-Id: I12c80b7c7ab23506d425c5b3a8a7de693498f830

This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el() and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were never exercised. BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a 'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in general purpose registers earlier. Change-Id: Id4fd019a19a9595de063766d4a66295a2c9307e1

Previously exception handlers in BL3-1, X19-X29 were not saved and restored on every SMC/trap into EL3. Instead these registers were 'saved as needed' as a side effect of the A64 ABI used by the C compiler. That approach failed when world switching but was not visible with the TSP/TSPD code because the TSP is 64-bit, did not clobber these registers when running and did not support pre-emption by normal world interrupts. These scenarios showed that the values in these registers can be passed through a world switch, which broke the normal and trusted world assumptions about these registers being preserved. The Ideal solution saves and restores these registers when a world switch occurs - but that type of implementation is more complex. So this patch always saves and restores these registers on entry and exit of EL3. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#141 Change-Id: I9a727167bbc594454e81cf78a97ca899dfb11c27

The current code does not always use data and instruction barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the write_*() helper functions. Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in order to enable review of correctness of the code. This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code. PORTING NOTE: check any port of Trusted Firmware for use of system register helper functions for reliance on the previous barrier behaviour and add explicit barriers as necessary.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements. Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#31 Change-Id: Iec92fb976334c77453e010b60bcf56f3be72bd3e
