      PSCI: Introduce new platform interface to describe topology · 82dcc039
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch removes the assumption in the current PSCI implementation that MPIDR
      based affinity levels map directly to levels in a power domain tree. This
      enables PSCI generic code to support complex power domain topologies as
      envisaged by PSCIv1.0 specification. The platform interface for querying
      the power domain topology has been changed such that:
      
      1. The generic PSCI code does not generate MPIDRs and use them to query the
         platform about the number of power domains at a particular power level. The
         platform now provides a description of the power domain tree on the SoC
         through a data structure. The existing platform APIs to provide the same
         information have been removed.
      
      2. The linear indices returned by plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
         plat_my_core_pos() are used to retrieve core power domain nodes from the
         power domain tree. Power domains above the core level are accessed using a
         'parent' field in the tree node descriptors.
      
      The platform describes the power domain tree in an array of 'unsigned
      char's. The first entry in the array specifies the number of power domains at
      the highest power level implemented in the system. Each susbsequent entry
      corresponds to a power domain and contains the number of power domains that are
      its direct children. This array is exported to the generic PSCI implementation
      via the new `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` platform API.
      
      The PSCI generic code uses this array to populate its internal power domain tree
      using the Breadth First Search like algorithm. The tree is split into two
      arrays:
      
      1. An array that contains all the core power domain nodes
      
      2. An array that contains all the other power domain nodes
      
      A separate array for core nodes allows certain core specific optimisations to
      be implemented e.g. remove the bakery lock, re-use per-cpu data framework for
      storing some information.
      
      Entries in the core power domain array are allocated such that the
      array index of the domain is equal to the linear index returned by
      plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and plat_my_core_pos() for the MPIDR
      corresponding to that domain. This relationship is key to be able to use
      an MPIDR to find the corresponding core power domain node, traverse to higher
      power domain nodes and index into arrays that contain core specific
      information.
      
      An introductory document has been added to briefly describe the new interface.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs · 12d0d00d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
      to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
      framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
      assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
      in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
      helpers based on core position are as described below:
      
      * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
      
      These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
      'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
      linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
      the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
      validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
      if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
      safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
      the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
      
      Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
      platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
      of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
      MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
      This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
      topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
      this API before the topology setup has been done.
      
      The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
      Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
      returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
      this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
      platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
      ports later in the patch stack.
      
      * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
      
      These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
      appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
      'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
      of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
      
      * Context management helpers based on linear core position
      
      A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
      cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
      are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
      as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
      allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
      framework is done.

      PSCI: Remove references to affinity based power management · 4067dc31
      Soby Mathew authored
      As per Section 4.2.2. in the PSCI specification, the term "affinity"
      is used in the context of describing the hierarchical arrangement
      of cores. This often, but not always, maps directly to the processor
      power domain topology of the system. The current PSCI implementation
      assumes that this is always the case i.e. MPIDR based levels of
      affinity always map to levels in a power domain topology tree.
      
      This patch is the first in a series of patches which remove this
      assumption. It removes all occurences of the terms "affinity
      instances and levels" when used to describe the power domain
      topology. Only the terminology is changed in this patch. Subsequent
      patches will implement functional changes to remove the above
      mentioned assumption.

      PSCI: Invoke PM hooks only for the highest level · 6590ce22
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch optimizes the invocation of the platform power management hooks for
      ON, OFF and SUSPEND such that they are called only for the highest affinity
      level which will be powered off/on. Earlier, the hooks were being invoked for
      all the intermediate levels as well.
      
      This patch requires that the platforms migrate to the new semantics of the PM
      hooks.  It also removes the `state` parameter from the pm hooks as the `afflvl`
      parameter now indicates the highest affinity level for which power management
      operations are required.

      PSCI: Create new directory to implement new frameworks · b48349eb
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch creates a copy of the existing PSCI files and related psci.h and
      platform.h header files in a new `PSCI1.0` directory. The changes for the
      new PSCI power domain topology and extended state-ID frameworks will be
      added incrementally to these files. This incremental approach will
      aid in review and in understanding the changes better. Once all the
      changes have been introduced, these files will replace the existing PSCI
      files.
