      Add provision to extend CPU operations at more levels · 5dd9dbb5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle
      power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to
      power down individual cores and clusters.
      
      This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater
      for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example,
      future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering
      down individually.
      
      This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for
      registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:
      
        - Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level
          required.
      
        - CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no
          reset function.
      
        - CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory
          handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.
      
      All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework
      without needing any functional changes within.
      
      Also update firmware design guide.

      AArch32: Fix the stack alignment issue · 9f3ee61c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      The AArch32 Procedure call Standard mandates that the stack must be aligned
      to 8 byte boundary at external interfaces. This patch does the required
      changes.
      
      This problem was detected when a crash was encountered in
      `psci_print_power_domain_map()` while printing 64 bit values. Aligning
      the stack to 8 byte boundary resolved the problem.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#437

      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.

      AArch32: Add support to PSCI lib · 727e5238
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds AArch32 support to PSCI library, as follows :
      
      * The `psci_helpers.S` is implemented for AArch32.
      
      * AArch32 version of internal helper function `psci_get_ns_ep_info()` is
        defined.
      
      * The PSCI Library is responsible for the Non Secure context initialization.
        Hence a library interface `psci_prepare_next_non_secure_ctx()` is introduced
        to enable EL3 runtime firmware to initialize the non secure context without
        invoking context management library APIs.
