      Add provision to extend CPU operations at more levels · 5dd9dbb5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle
      power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to
      power down individual cores and clusters.
      
      This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater
      for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example,
      future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering
      down individually.
      
      This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for
      registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:
      
        - Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level
          required.
      
        - CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no
          reset function.
      
        - CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory
          handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.
      
      All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework
      without needing any functional changes within.
      
      Also update firmware design guide.

      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.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#295

      Fix the Cortex-A57 reset handler register usage · 683f788f
      Soby Mathew authored
      The CPU specific reset handlers no longer have the freedom
      of using any general purpose register because it is being invoked
      by the BL3-1 entry point in addition to BL1. The Cortex-A57 CPU
      specific reset handler was overwriting x20 register which was being
      used by the BL3-1 entry point to save the entry point information.
      This patch fixes this bug by reworking the register allocation in the
      Cortex-A57 reset handler to avoid using x20. The patch also
      explicitly mentions the register clobber list for each of the
      callee functions invoked by the reset handler

      Call reset handlers upon BL3-1 entry. · 79a97b2e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      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.

      Optimize Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence on Juno · 5541bb3f
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch optimizes the Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not
      flushing the Level1 data cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified
      cache are inclusive. A flush of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty
      lines from the L1 as well. This is a known safe deviation from the
      Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down sequence. This optimization can be
      enabled by the platform through the 'SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN' build
      flag. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
      whether to use the optimization.
      
      This patch also renames the cpu-errata-workarounds.md to
      cpu-specific-build-macros.md as this facilitates documentation
      of both CPU Specific errata and CPU Specific Optimization
      build macros.

      Apply errata workarounds only when major/minor revisions match. · 7395a725
      Soby Mathew authored
      Prior to this patch, the errata workarounds were applied for any version
      of the CPU in the release build and in the debug build an assert
      failure resulted when the revision did not match. This patch applies
      errata workarounds in the Cortex-A57 reset handler only if the 'variant'
      and 'revision' fields read from the MIDR_EL1 match. In the debug build,
      a warning message is printed for each errata workaround which is not
      applied.
      
      The patch modifies the register usage in 'reset_handler` so
      as to adhere to ARM procedure calling standards.

      Add support for level specific cache maintenance operations · 8e857916
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds level specific cache maintenance functions
      to cache_helpers.S. The new functions 'dcsw_op_levelx',
      where '1 <= x <= 3', allow to perform cache maintenance by
      set/way for that particular level of cache.  With this patch,
      functions to support cache maintenance upto level 3 have
      been implemented since it is the highest cache level for
      most ARM SoCs.
      
      These functions are now utilized in CPU specific power down
      sequences to implement them as mandated by processor specific
      technical reference manual.

      Add support for selected Cortex-A57 errata workarounds · d9bdaf2d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds workarounds for selected errata which affect the Cortex-A57 r0p0
      part. Each workaround has a build time flag which should be used by the platform
      port to enable or disable the corresponding workaround. The workarounds are
      disabled by default. An assertion is raised if the platform enables a workaround
      which does not match the CPU revision at runtime.

      Add CPU specific power management operations · add40351
      Soby Mathew authored
      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.

      Access system registers directly in assembler · 7935d0a5
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
      or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
      use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
      compact code.
      
      This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
      direct register accesses.

      Correct usage of data and instruction barriers · 8cec598b
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      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.
