      arm_fpga: Add post-build linker script · 01301b11
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

For the Arm Ltd. FPGAs to run, we need to load several payloads into the
FPGA's memory:
- Some trampoline code at address 0x0, to jump to BL31's entry point.
- The actual BL31 binary at the beginning of DRAM.
- The (generic) DTB image to describe the hardware.
- The actual non-secure payloads (kernel, ramdisks, ...)

The latter is application specific, but the first three blobs are rather
generic.
Since the uploader tool supports ELF binaries, it seems helpful to
combine these three images into one .axf file, as this also simplifies
the command line.

Add a post-build linker script, that combines those three bits into one
ELF file, together with their specific load addresses.
Include a call to "ld" with this linker script in the platform Makefile,
so it will be build automatically. The result will be called "bl31.axf".

      arm_fpga: Add ROM trampoline · f45c6d86
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

The application cores of the FPGAs used in Arm Ltd. start execution at
address 0x0. This is the location of some (emulated) ROM area (which can
be written to by the uploading tool).
Since the arm_fpga port is configured to run from DRAM, we load BL31 to
the beginning of DRAM (mapped at 2GB). This requires some small
trampoline code in the "ROM" to jump to the BL31 entry point.

To avoid some extra magic binary, add a tiny assembly file with that
trivial jump instruction to the tree, so this binary can be created
alongside BL31.

      arm_fpga: Add devicetree file · b48883c7
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

The FPGA images used in Arm Ltd. focus on CPU cores, so they share a
common platform, with a minimal set of peripherals (interconnect, GIC,
UART).
This allows to support most platforms with a single devicetree file.
The topology and number of CPU cores differ, but those will added at
runtime, in BL31. Other adjustments (GICR size, SPE node, command line)
are also done at this point.

Add the common devicetree file to TF-A's build system, so it can be
build together with BL31. At runtime, the resulting .dtb file should be
uploaded to the address given with FPGA_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE at build time.

      arm_fpga: Remove SPE PMU DT node if SPE is not available · 40a0de19
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

The Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) is an architectural feature we
can safely detect at runtime. However it still relies on one piece of
platform-specific information: the interrupt line it is connected
to. This requires SPE to be described in a devicetree node.

Since SPE support varies with the CPU cores found on an FPGA image, we
should detect the presence of SPE at runtime, and remove a potentially
existing SPE PMU node from the DT.

This allows to always have the SPE node in a generic devicetree file,
without risking exposing it on a CPU without this feature.

      arm_fpga: Adjust GICR size in DT to match number of cores · 283e5595
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

The size of a GICv3 redistributor region depends on the number of
cores in the system. For the ARM FPGA port, we detect the topology at
runtime, and adjust the CPU DT nodes accordingly.
Now the size of the GICR region must also be adjusted, or Linux will
fail to initialise the GICv3.

Use the newly introduced function to overwrite the GICR size entry in
the GICv3 reg property. We count the number of existing cores by
iterating over the GICR frames until we find the LAST bit set in TYPER.

      arm_fpga: Add support for unknown MPIDs · 1994e562
      Javier Almansa Sobrino authored 
      

This patch allows the system to fallback to a default CPU library
in case the MPID does not match with any of the supported ones.

This feature can be enabled by setting SUPPORT_UNKNOWN_MPID build
option to 1 (enabled by default only on arm_fpga platform).

This feature can be very dangerous on a production image and
therefore it MUST be disabled for Release images.

      plat: Fix build issue for qemu and rpi3 platforms · dad2934c
      Manish V Badarkhe authored 
      

Coverity build periodically throws below errors(non-consistently)
for 'QEMU' and 'RPI3' platforms.

/bin/sh: 1: cannot create build/qemu/debug/rot_key.pem: Directory
nonexistent
plat/qemu/qemu/platform.mk:86: recipe for target 'build/qemu/debug/
rot_key.pem' failed
make: *** [build/qemu/debug/rot_key.pem] Error 2

/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /work/workspace/workspace/tf-coverity/build
/rpi3/debug/rot_key.pem: Directory nonexistent
plat/rpi/rpi3/platform.mk:214: recipe for target '/work/workspace/
workspace/tf-coverity/build/rpi3/debug/rot_key.pem' failed
make: *** [/work/workspace/workspace/tf-coverity/build/rpi3/debug/
rot_key.pem] Error 2

Issue seems to be occurred when 'ROT key' is generated before creating
the platform build folder(for e.g.build/qemu/debug).

Changes are made to fix this issue by adding orderly dependancy of
the platform folder for the 'ROT key' creation which ensures that
platform folder is created before generating 'ROT key'.

      plat/arm: Introduce and use libc_asm.mk makefile · e3f2b1a9
      Alexei Fedorov authored 
      Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A 0.0/6063 model
running in Aarch32 mode with the build options
listed below:
TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1
ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa KEY_ALG=ecdsa
ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem
shows that when auth_signature() gets called
71.99% of CPU execution time is spent in memset() function
written in C using single byte write operations,
see lib\libc\memset.c.
This patch introduces new libc_asm.mk makefile which
replaces C memset() implementation with assembler
version giving the following results:
- for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time
reduced to 20.56%.
The number of CPU instructions (Inst) executed during
TF-A boot stage before start of BL33 in RELEASE builds

      arm_fpga: Add support to populate the CPU nodes in the DTB · 20ff991e
      Javier Almansa Sobrino authored 
      

At the moment BL31 dynamically discovers the CPU topology of an FPGA
system at runtime, but does not export it to the non-secure world.
Any BL33 user would typically looks at the devicetree to learn about
existing CPUs.

This patch exports a minimum /cpus node in a devicetree to satisfy
the binding. This means that no cpumaps or caches are described.
This could be added later if needed.

An existing /cpus node in the DT will make the code bail out with a
message.
