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. Change-Id: I4b444719e8e927ba391cae48a23558308447da13

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.

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. Change-Id: Iee162f051b228828310610c5a320ff9d31009b4e

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.

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.

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the assembler using the .size directive. To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc' macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro. The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if endfunc is omitted. Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#295 Change-Id: If8cb331b03d7f38fe7e3694d4de26f1075b278fc Signed-off-by:

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.

This patch adds APIs to find, save and retrieve the highest affinity level which will enter or exit from the physical OFF state during a PSCI power management operation. The level is stored in per-cpu data. It then reworks the PSCI implementation to perform cache maintenance only when the handler for the highest affinity level to enter/exit the OFF state is called. For example. during a CPU_SUSPEND operation, state management is done prior to calling the affinity level specific handlers. The highest affinity level which will be turned off is determined using the psci_find_max_phys_off_afflvl() API. This level is saved using the psci_set_max_phys_off_afflvl() API. In the code that does generic handling for each level, prior to performing cache maintenance it is first determined if the current affinity level matches the value returned by psci_get_max_phys_off_afflvl(). Cache maintenance is done if the values match. This change allows the last CPU in a cluster to perform cache maintenance independently. Earlier, cache maintenance was started in the level 0 handler and finished in the level 1 handler. This change in approach will facilitate implementation of tf-issues#98.

This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2. The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend. Change-Id: I8357e2eb5eb6c5f448492c5094b82b8927603784
