      SPM: Introduce Secure Partition Manager · 2fccb228
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
      S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
      services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
      Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
      granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
      software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
      the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:
      
      - Memory and device regions in the system address map.
      - PE system registers.
      - A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
      - A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.
      
      A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
      absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
      a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
      cannot be overly complex.
      
      The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
      Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
      responsible for the following:
      
      - Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
        and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil service requests.
      - Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil a service request.

      Perform a cache flush after ENTER PSCI timestamp capture · bfef6106
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      Without an explicit cache flush, the next timestamp captured might have
      a bogus value.
      
      This can happen if the following operations happen in order,
      on a CPU that's being powered down.
      
      1) ENTER PSCI timestamp is captured with caches enabled.
      
      2) The next timestamp (ENTER_HW_LOW_PWR) is captured with caches
         disabled.
      
      3) On a system that uses a write-back cache configuration, the
         cache line that holds the PMF timestamps is evicted.
      
      After step 1), the ENTER_PSCI timestamp is cached and not in main memory.
      After step 2), the ENTER_HW_LOW_PWR timestamp is stored in main memory.
      Before the CPU power down happens, the hardware evicts the cache line that
      contains the PMF timestamps for this service.  As a result, the timestamp
      captured in step 2) is overwritten with a bogus value.

      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.

      PSCI: Do psci_setup() as part of std_svc_setup() · 58e946ae
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the invocation of `psci_setup()` from BL31 and SP_MIN
      into `std_svc_setup()` as part of ARM Standard Service initialization.
      This allows us to consolidate ARM Standard Service initializations which
      will be added to in the future. A new function `get_arm_std_svc_args()`
      is introduced to get arguments corresponding to each standard service.
      This function must be implemented by the EL3 Runtime Firmware and both
      SP_MIN and BL31 implement it.

      Introduce PSCI Library Interface · cf0b1492
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
      introduced are as follows:
      
      * Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
      boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
      warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
      and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
      cold and warm boots.
      
      * Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
      not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
      firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
      `bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
      `psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.
      
      * The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
      defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
      header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
      header.
      
      * The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
      restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
      handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
      Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
      helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
      firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
      firmware using a different SMC context.
      
      NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
      is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
      invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
      setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
      be aware of this change in sequence.

      Rework type usage in Trusted Firmware · 4c0d0390
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
      to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
      type usage are as listed below:
      
      * Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
      * Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
      * Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
        whether AArch64 or AArch32.
      * Use generic C types where-ever possible.
      
      In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
      in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
      related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

      Reduce deep nesting of header files · 97043ac9
      Dan Handley authored
      Reduce the number of header files included from other header
      files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
      declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
      "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
      
      Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
      including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

      Implement ARM Standard Service · 64f6ea9b
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
      support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
      PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
      PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI
      handler.
      
      At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
      call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
      initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call
      revision.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#62
