      Neoverse N1 Errata Workaround 1542419 · 80942622
      laurenw-arm authored 
      

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
fetches.

The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation
defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap
handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary
address followed by a DSB.

      Apply compile-time check for AArch64-only cores · 629d04f5
      John Tsichritzis authored 
      

Some cores support only AArch64 mode. In those cores, only a limited
subset of the AArch32 system registers are implemented. Hence, if TF-A
is supposed to run on AArch64-only cores, it must be compiled with
CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0.

Currently, the default settings for compiling TF-A are with the AArch32
system registers included. So, if we compile TF-A the default way and
attempt to run it on an AArch64-only core, we only get a runtime panic.

Now a compile-time check has been added to ensure that this flag has the
appropriate value when AArch64-only cores are included in the build.

      Add compile-time errors for HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag · 076b5f02
      John Tsichritzis authored 
      This patch fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660



The introduced changes are the following:

1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the
hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ
cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is
unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and
compilation errors are generated, if needed.

2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for
the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e.
cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As
such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the
libraries only of the relevant cores.

3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.

      Fix order of #includes · 2a4b4b71
      Isla Mitchell authored 
      

This fix modifies the order of system includes to meet the ARM TF coding
standard. There are some exceptions in order to retain header groupings,
minimise changes to imported headers, and where there are headers within
the #if and #ifndef statements.
