      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.

      Remove looping around `plat_report_exception` · 5bbc451e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch removes the tight loop that calls `plat_report_exception`
      in unhandled exceptions in AArch64 state.
      The new behaviour is to call the `plat_report_exception` only
      once followed by call to `plat_panic_handler`.
      This allows platforms to take platform-specific action when
      there is an unhandled exception, instead of always spinning
      in a tight loop.
      
      Note: This is a subtle break in behaviour for platforms that
            expect `plat_report_exception` to be continuously executed
            when there is an unhandled exception.

      Introduce some helper macros for exception vectors · e0ae9fab
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces some assembler macros to simplify the
      declaration of the exception vectors. It abstracts the section
      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.
      
      This patch also updates some invalid comments in the exception
      vector code.

      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.

      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.

      Separate out BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 early exception vectors from BL1 · 6c595b3d
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      bl1/aarch64/early_exceptions.S used to be re-used by BL2, BL3-1 and
      BL3-2.  There was some early SMC handling code in there that was not
      required by the other bootloader stages.  Therefore this patch
      introduces an even simpler exception vector source file for BL2,
      BL3-1 and BL3-2.

      Remove partially qualified asm helper functions · 6ba0b6d6
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      Each ARM Trusted Firmware image should know in which EL it is running
      and it should use the corresponding register directly instead of reading
      currentEL and knowing which asm register to read/write

      Add exception vector guards · a7934d69
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      This patch adds guards so that an exception vector exceeding 32
      instructions will generate a compile-time error. This keeps the
      exception handlers in check from spilling over.

      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.

      Fix spilled-over BL1 exception vector · 65f0730b
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      The SynchronousExceptionA64 vector has gone beyond the 32-instruction
      limit for individual exception vector. This patch splits and relocates
      the exception handler so that it fits into the 32-instruction window.

      remove empty definition of display_boot_progress() · 5443f2be
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch replaces the empty definition of display_boot_progress() in
      bl2_main.c with a weak definition. The former allowed bl2 to use the
      early_exceptions(). It is possible to do that with a simple weak
      definition as well.
