      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

      TBB: add a platform specific function to validate the ROTPK · 6eadf762
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the function plat_match_rotpk() to the platform
      porting layer to provide a Root Of Trust Public key (ROTPK)
      verification mechanism. This function is called during the
      Trusted Board Boot process and receives a supposed valid copy
      of the ROTPK as a parameter, usually obtained from an external
      source (for instance, a certificate). It returns 0 (success) if
      that key matches the actual ROTPK stored in the system or any
      other value otherwise.
      
      The mechanism to access the actual ROTPK stored in the system
      is platform specific and should be implemented as part of this
      function. The format of the ROTPK is also platform specific
      (to save memory, some platforms might store a hash of the key
      instead of the whole key).
      
      TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT build option has been added to allow the user
      to enable the Trusted Board Boot features. The implementation of
      the plat_match_rotpk() funtion is mandatory when Trusted Board
      Boot is enabled.
      
      For development purposes, FVP and Juno ports provide a dummy
      function that returns always success (valid key). A safe trusted
      boot implementation should provide a proper matching function.
      
      Documentation updated accordingly.

      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.

      Validate power_state and entrypoint when executing PSCI calls · 539dcedb
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch allows the platform to validate the power_state and
      entrypoint information from the normal world early on in PSCI
      calls so that we can return the error safely. New optional
      pm_ops hooks `validate_power_state` and `validate_ns_entrypoint`
      are introduced to do this.
      
      As a result of these changes, all the other pm_ops handlers except
      the PSCI_ON handler are expected to be successful. Also, the PSCI
      implementation will now assert if a PSCI API is invoked without the
      corresponding pm_ops handler being registered by the platform.
      
      NOTE : PLATFORM PORTS WILL BREAK ON MERGE OF THIS COMMIT. The
      pm hooks have 2 additional optional callbacks and the return type
      of the other hooks have changed.

      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.

      Remove redundant io_init() function · 6d16ce0b
      Dan Handley authored
      The intent of io_init() was to allow platform ports to provide
      a data object (io_plat_data_t) to the IO storage framework to
      allocate into. The abstraction was incomplete because io_plat_data_t
      uses a platform defined constant and the IO storage framework
      internally allocates other arrays using platform defined constants.
      
      This change simplifies the implementation by instantiating the
      supporting objects in the IO storage framework itself. There is now
      no need for the platform to call io_init().
      
      The FVP port has been updated accordingly.
      
      THIS CHANGE REQUIRES ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT USE THE IO STORAGE
      FRAMEWORK TO BE UDPATED.

      Secure RAM at address 0x0600_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_DRAM
      
      BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT definitions have been updated and are based on
      these new memory regions.
      
      The available memory for each bootloader in the linker script is
      defined by BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT, instead of the complete memory

      the platform porting.
      
      FVP common definitions are defined in fvp_def.h while platform_def.h
      contains exclusively (with a few exceptions) the definitions that are
      mandatory in the porting guide. Therefore, platform_def.h now includes
      fvp_def.h instead of the other way around.

      Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler · 53fdcebd
      Juan Castillo authored
      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.

      Correctly dimension the PSCI aff_map_node array · 6c0b45d1
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The array of affinity nodes is currently allocated for 32 entries
      with the PSCI_NUM_AFFS value defined in psci.h. This is not enough

      This patch introduces an optional platform definition
      PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to platform_def.h. If defined this value is
      used for PSCI_NUM_AFFS, otherwise a value of two times the number
      of CPU cores is used.

      TSP: Let the platform decide which secure memory to use · 2467f70f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The TSP's linker script used to assume that the TSP would
      execute from secure DRAM. Although it is currently the case
      on FVPs, platforms are free to use any secure memory they wish.
      
      This patch introduces the flexibility to load the TSP into any
      secure memory. The platform code gets to specify the extents of
      this memory in the platform header file, as well as the BL3-2 image
      limit address. The latter definition allows to check in a generic way
      that the BL3-2 image fits in its bounds.

      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.

      Fixes for TZC configuration on FVP · 84dbf6ff
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The TZC configuration on FVP was incorrectly allowing both secure
      and non-secure accesses to the DRAM, which can cause aliasing
      problems for software. It was also not enabling virtio access on
      some models.
      
      This patch fixes both of those issues. The patch also enabless
      non-secure access to the DDR RAM for all devices with defined IDs.
      
      The third region of DDR RAM has been removed from the configuration
      as this is not used in any of the FVP models.

      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.

      Define frequency of system counter in platform code · 9e86490f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
      into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
      platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
      the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
      In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
      modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.
      
      All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
      platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
      The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
      to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
      initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
      request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
      explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
      fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.
      
      In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
      is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
      the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.
      
      This patch also updates the relevant documentation.
      
      It properly fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#24

      Revert "Move architecture timer setup to platform-specific code" · 65a9c0e9
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This reverts commit 1c297bf0
      because it introduced a bug: the CNTFRQ_EL0 register was no
      longer programmed by all CPUs.  bl31_platform_setup() function
      is invoked only in the cold boot path and consequently only
      on the primary cpu.
      
      A subsequent commit will correctly implement the necessary changes
      to the counter frequency setup code.

      Move architecture timer setup to platform-specific code · 1c297bf0
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      At present, bl1_arch_setup() and bl31_arch_setup() program the counter
      frequency using a value from the memory mapped generic timer. The
      generic timer however is not necessarily present on all ARM systems
      (although it is architected to be present on all server systems).
      
      This patch moves the timer setup to platform-specific code and updates
      the relevant documentation. Also, CNTR.FCREQ is set as the specification
      requires the bit corresponding to the counter's frequency to be set when
      enabling. Since we intend to use the base frequency, set bit 8.

      fvp: Initialise UART earlier · 20d284c0
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The UART used to be initialised in bl1_platform_setup(). This is too
      late because there are some calls to the assert() macro, which needs
      to print some messages on the console, before that.
      
      This patch moves the UART initialisation code to
      bl1_early_platform_setup().
