      Build: add GZIP compression filter · 14db8908
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      One typical usage of the pre-tool image filter is data compression,
      and GZIP is one of the most commonly used compression methods.
      I guess this is generic enough to be put in the common script instead
      of platform.mk.
      
      If you want to use this, you can add something like follows to your
      platform.mk:
      
          BL32_PRE_TOOL_FILTER := GZIP
          BL33_PRE_TOOL_FILTER := GZIP

      Build: support pre-tool image processing · 2da522bb
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      There are cases where we want to process images before they are
      passed to cert_create / fiptool.
      
      My main motivation is data compression.  By compressing images, we can
      save data storage, and possibly speed up loading images.  The image
      verification will also get faster because certificates are generated
      based on compressed images.
      
      Other image transformation filters (for ex. encryption), and their
      combinations would be possible.  So, our build system should support
      transformation filters in a generic manner.
      
      The choice of applied filters is up to platforms (so specified in
      platform.mk)
      
      To define a new filter, <FILTER_NAME>_RULE and <FILTER_NAME>_SUFFIX
      are needed.
      
      For example, the GZIP compression filter can be implemented as follows:
      
      ------------------------>8------------------------
      define GZIP_RULE
      $(1): $(2)
              @echo "  GZIP    $$@"
              $(Q)gzip -n -f -9 $$< --stdout > $$@
      endef
      
      GZIP_SUFFIX := .gz
      ------------------------>8------------------------
      
      The _RULE defines how to create the target $(1) from the source $(2).
      The _SUFFIX defines the extension appended to the processed image path.
      The suffix is not so important because the file name information is not
      propagated to FIP, but adding a sensible suffix will be good to classify
      the data file.
      
      Platforms can specify which filter is applied to which BL image, like
      this:
      
      ------------------------>8------------------------
      BL32_PRE_TOOL_FILTER := GZIP
      BL33_PRE_TOOL_FILTER := GZIP
      ------------------------>8------------------------
      
      <IMAGE_NAME>_PRE_TOOL_FILTER specifies per-image filter.  With this,
      different images can be transformed differently.  For the case above,
      only BL32 and BL33 are GZIP-compressed.  Nothing is done for other
      images.

      Build: change the first parameter of TOOL_ADD_IMG to lowercase · 33950dd8
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      In the next commit, I need the image name in lowercase because
      output files are generally named in lowercase.
      
      Unfortunately, TOOL_ADD_IMG takes the first argument in uppercase
      since we generally use uppercase Make variables.
      
      make_helpers/build_macros.mk provides 'uppercase' macro to convert
      a string into uppercase, but 'lowercase' does not exist.  We can
      implement it if we like, but it would be more straightforward to
      change the argument of TOOL_ADD_IMG.

      Build: move cert_create arguments and dependency to FIP_ADD_PAYLOAD · f30ee0b9
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The fiptool and cert_create use the same command options for images.
      It is pretty easy to handle both in the same, symmetrical way.
      
      Move CRT_ARGS and CRT_DEPS to FIP_ADD_PAYLOAD.  This refactoring makes
      sense because FIP_ADD_PAYLOAD is called from MAKE_BL (when building
      images from source), and from FIP_ADD_IMG (when including external
      images).  (FIP_ADD_PAYLOAD will be renamed later on since it now
      caters to both fiptool and cert_create).
      
      We can delete CERT_ADD_CMD_OPT for images in tbbr.mk.  It still
      needs to call CERT_ADD_CMD_OPT directly for certificates.

      Build: merge build macros between FIP_ and FWU_FIP_ · 1dc0714f
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The build system supports generating two FIP images, fip and fwu_fip.
      Accordingly, we have similar build macros.
      
         FIP_ADD_PAYLOAD   <-->  FWU_FIP_ADD_PAYLOAD
         CERT_ADD_CMD_OPT  <-->  FWU_CERT_ADD_CMD_OPT
         FIP_ADD_IMG       <-->  FWU_FIP_ADD_IMG
      
      The duplicated code increases the maintenance burden.  Also, the build
      rule of BL2U looks clumsy - we want to call MAKE_BL to compile it from
      source files, but we want to put it in fwu_fip.  We can not do it in a
      single macro call since the current MAKE_BL does not support fwu_fip.
      
      To refactor those in a clean way is to support one more argument to
      specify the FIP prefix.  If it is empty, the images are targeted to
      fip, whereas if the argument is "FWU_", targeted to fwu_fip.
      
      The build macros prefixed with FWU_ go away.

      Makefile: Add ability to build dtb · 03b397a8
      Nishanth Menon authored
      This is a revamp of the original approach in:
      https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/pull/747
      
      
      
      Current build system has no means to automatically generate dtbs from
      dts, instead, stores the dtbs in the fdts/ folder. While this makes
      perfect sense for many reference platforms, this becomes a minor
      breakage in development flow for newer platforms.
      
      However, this can be solved by providing a rule for the dtbs while
      building the ATF binaries by purely describing which dts sources we
      need.
      
      For example, with this change, we will now be able to describe the
      dtbs we need for the platform in the corresponding platform.mk file:
      FDT_SOURCES += fdts/abc.dts
      
      This should be able to generate the abc.dtb appropriately.
      
      Since device trees are specification of hardware, we don't tie the rule
      to any specific BL, instead a generic rule is introduced.
      
      Further, this approach allows us to generate appropriate dtbs which may be
      need to be regenerated when a common dtsi gets updated, by just
      restricting changes to the dtsi alone, instead of synchronizing all the
      dtbs as well.
      
      If dtc is not available in default paths, but is available in an
      alternate location, it can be chosen by overriding the DTC variable
      such as 'make DTC=~/dtc/dtc ....`
      
      NOTE: dtbs are built only with the explicit make dtbs command. The rule
      is only available if the platform defines a FDT_SOURCES variable.

      Build: Fix parallel build · 6ba7d274
      Evan Lloyd authored
      
      
      2 problems were found, but are in one change to avoid submitting a patch
      that might fail to build. The problems were:
      1.  The macro MAKE_PREREQ_DIR has a minor bug, in that it is capable of
          generating recursive dependencies.
      2.  The inclusion of BUILD_DIR in TEMP_OBJ_DIRS left no explicit
          dependency, BUILD_DIR might not exist when subdirectories are
          created by a thread on another CPU.
      
      This fix corrects these with the following changes:
      1.  MAKE_PREREQ_DIR does nothing for a direct self dependency.
      2.  BUILD_DIR is built using MAKE_PREREQ_DIR.
      3.  BUILD_DIR is an explicit prerequisite of all OBJ_DIRS.

      Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction · c877b414
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
      atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
      is only available for AArch64.
      
      Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
      ARM Trusted Firmware:
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 8.
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 0.
      
      When:
      
        (ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
      
      for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
      locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
      load-/store-exclusive instructions.
      
      Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
      summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
      Extensions.

      Replace fip_create with fiptool · 819281ee
      dp-arm authored
      fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
      the fip_create program.  It serves as a better base to build on more
      features in the future.
      
      fiptool supports various subcommands.  Below are the currently
      supported subcommands:
      
      1) info   - List the images contained in a FIP file.
      2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
      3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
      4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
      5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file.  This is a new command that
         was not present in fip_create.
      
      To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
      
      To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
      
      To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
      "fiptool info".
      
      A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
      fip_create is provided.  Existing scripts might or might not work with
      the compatibility script.  Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
      fiptool.

      Give user's compiler flags precedence over default ones · 403973c9
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The user can provide additional CFLAGS to use when building TF.
      However, these custom CFLAGS are currently prepended to the
      standard CFLAGS that are hardcoded in the TF build system. This
      is an issue because when providing conflicting compiler flags
      (e.g. different optimisations levels like -O1 and -O0), the last
      one on the command line usually takes precedence. This means that
      the user flags get overriden.
      
      To address this problem, this patch separates the TF CFLAGS from
      the user CFLAGS. The former are now stored in the TF_CFLAGS make
      variable, whereas the CFLAGS make variable is untouched and reserved
      for the user. The order of the 2 sets of flags is enforced when
      invoking the compiler.

      Make:Improve version string generation portability · 414ab853
      Evan Lloyd authored
      To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build
      environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier
      strings is modified.
      The problems encounterred were:
         1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text.
         2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs
            some other origin.
      
      A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now.
      
      MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS
      environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment
      make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour
      is retained in these build environments.
      
      NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving
            build portability across development environments.
            This enables the build to run on several new build environments,
            if the relevant tools are available.
            At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1,
            using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native
            Linux envionment".  The Windows platform builds used
            aarch64-none-elf-gcc.exe 4.9.1.  CMD.EXE and Msys used Gnu
            Make 3.81, cygwin used Gnu Make 4.1.
      
      CAVEAT: The cert_create tool build is not tested on the Windows
              platforms (openssl-for-windows has a GPL license).

      Make:Improve directory generation portability. · 51b27702

      Because of command differences in some build environments the "inline"
      method of generating the build directory structure is not portable.
      (e.g. in DOS environments the mkdir shell command fails if a directory

      To improve portability we generate the directories needed using make,
      but use the "order-only prerequisites" feature of make to prevent writes
      of files into the directories generating re-builds, as suggested in the
      GNU make Manual (Version 4.1 September 2014).
