      Replace some memset call by zeromem · 32f0d3c6
      Douglas Raillard authored 
      

Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized
structure by applying the following transformation:
memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x))

As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the
compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to
the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement
for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32
and AArch64.

      Introduce unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored 
      

Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
without doing external memory access.

Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.

Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
with zeromem16 requirements).

Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.

Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
that are implemented this way:
* AArch32:
	* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
	* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
* AArch64:
	* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory  using DC ZVA instruction
	                  (needs MMU enabled)
	* zeromem: zero using usual data access

Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.

There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
* Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
  considered device memory for data accesses).
* Code that fills device memory with null bytes.

Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
important:
* Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
  memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.

  Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
  zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
  compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#408

      Tegra: Perform cache maintenance on video carveout memory · e3616819
      Vikram Kanigiri authored 
      Currently, the non-overlapping video memory carveout region is cleared after
disabling the MMU at EL3. If at any exception level the carveout region is being
marked as cacheable, this zeroing of memory will not have an affect on the
cached lines. Hence, we first invalidate the dirty lines and update the memory
and invalidate again so that both caches and memory is zeroed out.

      Reserve a Video Memory aperture in DRAM memory · 9a964510
      Varun Wadekar authored 
      

This patch adds support to reserve a memory carveout region in the
DRAM on Tegra SoCs. The memory controller provides specific registers
to specify the aperture's base and size. This aperture can also be
changed dynamically in order to re-size the memory available for
DRM video playback. In case of the new aperture not overlapping
the previous one, the previous aperture has to be cleared before
setting up the new one. This means we do not "leak" any video data
to the NS world.

      Support for NVIDIA's Tegra T210 SoCs · 08438e24
      Varun Wadekar authored 
      

T210 is the latest chip in the Tegra family of SoCs from NVIDIA. It is an
ARM v8 dual-cluster (A57/A53) SoC, with any one of the clusters being active
at a given point in time.

This patch adds support to boot the Trusted Firmware on T210 SoCs. The patch
also adds support to boot secondary CPUs, enter/exit core power states for
all CPUs in the slow/fast clusters. The support to switch between clusters
is still not available in this patch and would be available later.
