      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
      transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
      are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
      from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
      examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
      described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
      left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
      the debugger back trace.
      
      This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
      from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
      instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
      instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
      to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

      Add PMF instrumentation points in TF · 872be88a
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      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.

      Introduce some helper macros for exception vectors · e0ae9fab

      the exception code is put into as well as the alignments
      constraints mandated by the ARMv8 architecture. For all TF images,
      the exception code has been updated to make use of these macros.

      Move context management code to common location · bbf8f6f9
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      The upcoming Firmware Update feature needs transitioning across
      Secure/Normal worlds to complete the FWU process and hence requires
      context management code to perform this task.
      
      Currently context management code is part of BL31 stage only.
      This patch moves the code from (include)/bl31 to (include)/common.
      Some function declarations/definitions and macros have also moved
      to different files to help code sharing.

      Remove the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option · 54718418
      Soby Mathew authored
      The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
      ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
      interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
      of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
      the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
      type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
      such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.
      
      The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
      now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
      INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

      Fix handling of spurious interrupts in BL3_1 · 5717aae1
      Achin Gupta authored
      There are couple of issues with how the interrupt routing framework in BL3_1
      handles spurious interrupts.
      
      1. In the macro 'handle_interrupt_exception', if a spurious interrupt is
         detected by plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(), then execution jumps to
         'interrupt_exit_\label'. This macro uses the el3_exit() function to return to
         the original exception level. el3_exit() attempts to restore the SPSR_EL3 and
         ELR_EL3 registers with values from the current CPU context. Since these
         registers were not saved in this code path, it programs stale values into
         these registers. This leads to unpredictable behaviour after the execution of
         the ERET instruction.
      
      2. When an interrupt is routed to EL3, it could be de-asserted before the
         GICC_HPPIR is read in plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(). There could be
         another interrupt pending at the same time e.g. a non-secure interrupt. Its
         type will be returned instead of the original interrupt. This would result in
         a call to get_interrupt_type_handler(). The firmware will panic if the
         handler for this type of interrupt has not been registered.
      
      This patch fixes the first problem by saving SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 early in the
      'handle_interrupt_exception' macro, instead of only doing so once the validity
      of the interrupt has been determined.
      
      The second problem is fixed by returning execution back to the lower exception
      level through the 'interrupt_exit_\label' label instead of treating it as an
      error condition. The 'interrupt_error_\label' label has been removed since it is
      no longer used.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#305

      Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions · 8b779620
      Kévin Petit authored
      
      
      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.

      Unmask SError interrupt and clear SCR_EL3.EA bit · 0c8d4fef
      Achin Gupta authored
      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. This is to prevent the possibility
      of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being
      taken when execution is in S-EL1.

      Rework the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack · 626ed510
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.

      Remove coherent stack usage from the warm boot path · b51da821
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the
      warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent
      memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being
      powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from
      reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These
      changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2.
      
      The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved
      and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system
      registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

      Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting · a43d431b
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
      taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
      to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
      previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
      This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
      contents for debugging and analysis.
      
      This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
      to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
      Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.
      
      panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
      and prints the PC value in release mode.
      
      The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
      The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
      since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
      and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
      utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
      crash happens and hence the rename.

      Preserve x19-x29 across world switch for exception handling · c3260f9b
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.

      Allocate single stacks for BL1 and BL2 · 2bf28e62
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The BL images share common stack management code which provides
      one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2
      just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require
      the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack
      support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the
      RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform.
      
      This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and
      calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where
      this has to be done in the firmware.
      
      The stack allocation source files are now included via
      platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows
      each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support
      for each BL image.
      
      Each platform makefile must be updated when including this
      commit.

      This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
      runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
      convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
      inter-related. It does the following:
      
      1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
      2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
      3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
         structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
      4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
         structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
      5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
         runtime service

      Setup VBAR_EL3 incrementally · b739f22a
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
      'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
      use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
      'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.
      
      This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
      and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
      will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

      rework general purpose registers save and restore · 4a826dda
      Achin Gupta authored
      The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for
      saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack
      memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the
      magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch
      replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile
      time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this
      structure.

      Various improvements/cleanups on the linker scripts · 8d69a03f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
        - Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
          at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
        - Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
        - Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
          code to know the order of sections.
        - Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
          out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
          possible.
        - Rework alignment constraints on sections.
        - Remove unused linker symbols.
        - Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
        - Add some comments in the linker scripts.
