      SPE: Fix feature detection · b8535929
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

Currently the feature test for the SPE extension requires the feature
bits in the ID_AA64DFR0 register to read exactly 0b0001.
However the architecture guarantees that any values greater than 0
indicate the presence of a feature, which is what we are after in
our spe_supported() function.

Change the comparison to include all values greater than 0.

This fixes SPE support in non-secure world on implementations which
include the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), for instance on Zeus cores.

      libc: memset: improve performance by avoiding single byte writes · 75fab649
      Andre Przywara authored 
      

Currently our memset() implementation is safe, but slow. The main reason
for that seems to be the single byte writes that it issues, which can
show horrible performance, depending on the implementation of the
load/store subsystem.

Improve the algorithm by trying to issue 64-bit writes. As this only
works with aligned pointers, have a head and a tail section which
covers unaligned pointers, and leave the bulk of the work to the middle
section that does use 64-bit writes.

Put through some unit tests, which exercise all combinations of nasty
input parameters (pointers with various alignments, various odd and even
sizes, corner cases of content to write (-1, 256)).

      psci: utility api to invoke stop for other cores · 22744909
      Sandeep Tripathy authored 
      

The API can be used to invoke a 'stop_func' callback for all
other cores from any initiating core. Optionally it can also
wait for other cores to power down. There may be various use
of such API by platform. Ex: Platform may use this to power
down all other cores from a crashed core.

      plat/arm: Introduce and use libc_asm.mk makefile · e3f2b1a9

      Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A 0.0/6063 model

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,

- for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time
reduced to 20.56%.

      lib: cpu: Check SCU presence in DSU before accessing DSU registers · 942013e1
      Pramod Kumar authored 
      

The DSU contains system control registers in the SCU and L3 logic to
control the functionality of the cluster. If "DIRECT CONNECT" L3
memory system variant is used, there won't be any L3 cache,
snoop filter, and SCU logic present hence no system control register
will be present. Hence check SCU presence before accessing DSU register
for DSU_936184 errata.

      lib: cpus: sanity check pointers before use · 601e3ed2
      Varun Wadekar authored 
      

The cpu_ops structure contains a lot of function pointers. It
is a good idea to verify that the function pointer is not NULL
before executing it.

This patch sanity checks each pointer before use to prevent any
unforeseen crashes. These checks have been enabled for debug
builds only.

      TF-A AMU: remove AMU enable info print · e82eb8c8
      Olivier Deprez authored 
      Following f3ccf036

 the INFO print in amu_enable is causing
a lot of print outs on UART1 in DEBUG mode especially on PSCI test
cases because CPU_ON or SUSPEND operations call:
cm_prepare_el3_exit => enable_extensions_nonsecure => amu_enable.
PSCI SUSPEND is also very frequent in linux boot cases causing test
timeout failures.

Add support to generate a certificate named "plat-sp-cert" for Secure
Partitions(SP) owned by Platform.
Earlier a single certificate file "sip-sp-cert" was generated which
contained hash of all 8 SPs, with this change SPs are divided into
two categories viz "SiP owned" and "Plat owned" containing 4 SPs each.

Platform RoT key pair is used for signing.

      TF-A AMU extension: fix detection of group 1 counters. · f3ccf036
      Alexei Fedorov authored 
      

This patch fixes the bug when AMUv1 group1 counters was
always assumed being implemented without checking for its
presence which was causing exception otherwise.
The AMU extension code was also modified as listed below:
- Added detection of AMUv1 for ARMv8.6
- 'PLAT_AMU_GROUP1_NR_COUNTERS' build option is removed and
number of group1 counters 'AMU_GROUP1_NR_COUNTERS' is now
calculated based on 'AMU_GROUP1_COUNTERS_MASK' value
- Added bit fields definitions and access functions for
AMCFGR_EL0/AMCFGR and AMCGCR_EL0/AMCGCR registers
- Unification of amu.c Aarch64 and Aarch32 source files
- Bug fixes and TF-A coding style compliant changes.

MISRA defect cleanup and general code cleanup in mem_region.c and
semihosting.c.  This task also called for cleanup of the ARM NOR flash
driver but that was removed at some point since the Jira task was
created.  This patch fixes all MISRA defects in these files except for a
few "Calling function "console_flush()" which returns error information
without testing the error information." errors which can't really be
avoided.

      Grant Likely authored 
      

If the user tries to change BUILD_BASE to put the build products outside
the build tree the compile will fail due to hard coded assumptions that
$BUILD_BASE is a relative path. Fix by using $(abspath $(BUILD_BASE))
to rationalize to an absolute path every time and remove the relative
path assumptions.

This patch also adds documentation that BUILD_BASE can be specified by
the user.
