      Don't return error information from console_flush · 831b0e98
      Jimmy Brisson authored 
      

And from crash_console_flush.

We ignore the error information return by console_flush in _every_
place where we call it, and casting the return type to void does not
work around the MISRA violation that this causes. Instead, we collect
the error information from the driver (to avoid changing that API), and
don't return it to the caller.

      libc: memset: improve performance by avoiding single byte writes · 75fab649
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

Currently our memset() implementation is safe, but slow. The main reason
for that seems to be the single byte writes that it issues, which can
show horrible performance, depending on the implementation of the
load/store subsystem.

Improve the algorithm by trying to issue 64-bit writes. As this only
works with aligned pointers, have a head and a tail section which
covers unaligned pointers, and leave the bulk of the work to the middle
section that does use 64-bit writes.

Put through some unit tests, which exercise all combinations of nasty
input parameters (pointers with various alignments, various odd and even
sizes, corner cases of content to write (-1, 256)).

      plat/arm: Introduce and use libc_asm.mk makefile · e3f2b1a9

      Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A 0.0/6063 model
running in Aarch32 mode with the build options

shows that when auth_signature() gets called
71.99% of CPU execution time is spent in memset() function
written in C using single byte write operations,

This patch introduces new libc_asm.mk makefile which
replaces C memset() implementation with assembler
version giving the following results:
- for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time
reduced to 20.56%.
The number of CPU instructions (Inst) executed during
TF-A boot stage before start of BL33 in RELEASE builds
for different versions is presented in the tables below,

      libc: fix sparse warning for __assert() · f906a44e
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      

Sparse warns this:

lib/libc/assert.c:29:6: error: symbol '__assert' redeclared with different type (originally declared at include/lib/libc/assert.h:36) - different modifiers

Add __dead2 to match the header declaration and C definition.

I also changed '__dead2 void' to 'void __dead2' for the consistency
with other parts.

      Remove several warnings reported with W=1 · 609e053c
      Ambroise Vincent authored 
      

Improved support for W=1 compilation flag by solving missing-prototypes
and old-style-definition warnings.

The libraries are compiling with warnings (which turn into errors with
the Werror flag).

Outside of libraries, some warnings cannot be fixed without heavy
structural changes.

      Sanitise includes across codebase · 09d40e0e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

      Ensure the flow through switch statements is clear · a08a2014
      Daniel Boulby authored 
      

Ensure case clauses:
*   Terminate with an unconditional break, return or goto statement.
*   Use conditional break, return or goto statements as long as the end
    of the case clause is unreachable; such case clauses must terminate
    with assert(0) /* Unreachable */ or an unconditional  __dead2 function
    call
*   Only fallthough when doing otherwise would result in less
    readable/maintainable code; such case clauses must terminate with a
    /* Fallthrough */ comment to make it clear this is the case and
    indicate that a fallthrough is intended.

This reduces the chance of bugs appearing due to unintended flow through a
switch statement

      Add atexit function to libc · 6c373345
      Roberto Vargas authored 
      

We had exit but we didn't have atexit, and we were calling panic and
tf_printf from exit, which generated a dependency from exit to them.
Having atexit allows to set a different function pointer in every image.
