      Add end_vector_entry assembler macro · a9203eda
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      Check_vector_size checks if the size of the vector fits
      in the size reserved for it. This check creates problems in
      the Clang assembler. A new macro, end_vector_entry, is added
      and check_vector_size is deprecated.
      
      This new macro fills the current exception vector until the next
      exception vector. If the size of the current vector is bigger
      than 32 instructions then it gives an error.

      Remove .func and .endfunc assembler directives · b2805dab
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      These directives are only used when stabs debugging information
      is used, but we use ELF which uses DWARF debugging information.
      Clang assembler doesn't support these directives, and removing
      them makes the code more compatible with clang.

      xlat v2: Split MMU setup and enable · 0cc7aa89
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      At present, the function provided by the translation library to enable
      MMU constructs appropriate values for translation library, and programs
      them to the right registers. The construction of initial values,
      however, is only required once as both the primary and secondaries
      program the same values.
      
      Additionally, the MMU-enabling function is written in C, which means
      there's an active stack at the time of enabling MMU. On some systems,
      like Arm DynamIQ, having active stack while enabling MMU during warm
      boot might lead to coherency problems.
      
      This patch addresses both the above problems by:
      
        - Splitting the MMU-enabling function into two: one that sets up
          values to be programmed into the registers, and another one that
          takes the pre-computed values and writes to the appropriate
          registers. With this, the primary effectively calls both functions
          to have the MMU enabled, but secondaries only need to call the
          latter.
      
        - Rewriting the function that enables MMU in assembly so that it
          doesn't use stack.
      
      This patch fixes a bunch of MISRA issues on the way.

      AArch64: Introduce RAS handling · 14c6016a
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      RAS extensions are mandatory for ARMv8.2 CPUs, but are also optional
      extensions to base ARMv8.0 architecture.
      
      This patch adds build system support to enable RAS features in ARM
      Trusted Firmware. A boolean build option RAS_EXTENSION is introduced for
      this.
      
      With RAS_EXTENSION, an Exception Synchronization Barrier (ESB) is
      inserted at all EL3 vector entry and exit. ESBs will synchronize pending
      external aborts before entering EL3, and therefore will contain and
      attribute errors to lower EL execution. Any errors thus synchronized are
      detected via. DISR_EL1 register.
      
      When RAS_EXTENSION is set to 1, HANDLE_EL3_EA_FIRST must also be set to 1.

      SPM: Introduce Secure Partition Manager · 2fccb228
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
      S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
      services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
      Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
      granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
      software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
      the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:
      
      - Memory and device regions in the system address map.
      - PE system registers.
      - A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
      - A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.
      
      A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
      absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
      a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
      cannot be overly complex.
      
      The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
      Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
      responsible for the following:
      
      - Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
        and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil service requests.
      - Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil a service request.

      Add CFI debug info to vector entries · 31823b69
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Add Call Frame Information assembler directives to vector entries so
      that debuggers display the backtrace of functions that triggered a
      synchronous exception. For example, a function triggering a data abort
      will be easier to debug if the backtrace can be displayed from a
      breakpoint at the beginning of the synchronous exception vector.
      
      DS-5 needs CFI otherwise it will not attempt to display the backtrace.
      Other debuggers might have other needs. These debug information are
      stored in the ELF file but not in the final binary.

      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.

      Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries · 532ed618
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
      management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
      `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
      BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
      PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
      are done as part of this patch are:
      
      * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
        enable reuse.
      * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
        specific folder.
      * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
        to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
        just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.
      
      Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
      changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.
      
      NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
      THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
      MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

      Derive stack alignment from CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE · 663db206
      Soby Mathew authored
      The per-cpu stacks should be aligned to the cache-line size and
      the `declare_stack` helper in asm_macros.S macro assumed a
      cache-line size of 64 bytes. The platform defines the cache-line
      size via CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE macro. This patch modifies
      `declare_stack` helper macro to derive stack alignment from the
      platform defined macro.

      Fill exception vectors with zero bytes · 79627dc3
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The documentation of the GNU assembler specifies the following about
      the .align assembler directive:
       "the padding bytes are normally zero. However, on some systems, if
       the section is marked as containing code and the fill value is
       omitted, the space is filled with no-op instructions."
      (see https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Align.html)
      
      When building Trusted Firmware, the AArch64 GNU assembler uses a
      mix of zero bytes and no-op instructions as the padding bytes to
      align exception vectors.
      
      This patch mandates to use zero bytes to be stored in the padding
      bytes in the exception vectors. In the AArch64 instruction set, no
      valid instruction encodes as zero so this effectively inserts
      illegal instructions. Should this code end up being executed for
      any reason, it would crash immediately. This gives us an extra
      protection against misbehaving code at no extra cost.

      Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED · 7a24cba5
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
      Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
      build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
      WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
      trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
      is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
      When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
      inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.
      
      Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
      conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
      so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
      ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.
      
      NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
      using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
      trigger a build error.

      PSCI: Add deprecated API for SPD when compatibility is disabled · 5c8babcd
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch defines deprecated platform APIs to enable Trusted
      Firmware components like Secure Payload and their dispatchers(SPD)
      to continue to build and run when platform compatibility is disabled.
      This decouples the migration of platform ports to the new platform API
      from SPD and enables them to be migrated independently. The deprecated
      platform APIs defined in this patch are : platform_get_core_pos(),
      platform_get_stack() and platform_set_stack().
      
      The patch also deprecates MPIDR based context management helpers like
      cm_get_context_by_mpidr(), cm_set_context_by_mpidr() and cm_init_context().
      A mechanism to deprecate APIs and identify callers of these APIs during
      build is introduced, which is controlled by the build flag WARN_DEPRECATED.
      If WARN_DEPRECATED is defined to 1, the users of the deprecated APIs will be
      flagged either as a link error for assembly files or compile time warning
      for C files during build.

      PSCI: Switch to the new PSCI frameworks · 67487846
      Soby Mathew authored
      This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing
      the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The
      corresponding makefiles are modified as required for the new implementation.
      The platform.h header file is also is switched to the new one
      as required by the new frameworks. The build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT defaults
      to 1 to enable compatibility layer which let the existing platform ports to
      continue to build and run with minimal changes.
      
      The default weak implementation of platform_get_core_pos() is now removed from
      platform_helpers.S and is provided by the compatibility layer.
      
      Note: The Secure Payloads and their dispatchers still use the old platform
      and framework APIs and hence it is expected that the ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT build
      flag will remain enabled in subsequent patch. The compatibility for SPDs using
      the older APIs on platforms migrated to the new APIs will be added in the
      following patch.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs · 12d0d00d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
      to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
      framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
      assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
      in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
      helpers based on core position are as described below:
      
      * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
      
      These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
      'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
      linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
      the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
      validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
      if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
      safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
      the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
      
      Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
      platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
      of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
      MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
      This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
      topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
      this API before the topology setup has been done.
      
      The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
      Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
      returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
      this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
      platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
      ports later in the patch stack.
      
      * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
      
      These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
      appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
      'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
      of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
      
      * Context management helpers based on linear core position
      
      A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
      cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
      are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
      as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
      allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
      framework is done.

      Rationalize reset handling code · 52010cc7
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
      results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
      RESET_TO_BL31 option.
      
      This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
      PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
       1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
       2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
          CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
          simultaneously;
       3) Run the CPU init code.
      
      This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
      the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.
      
      This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
      different types of systems.
      
      NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
      NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
      FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
      OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

      Kévin Petit authored
      
      
      In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
      functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
      assembler using the .size directive.
      
      To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
      macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
      a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.
      
      The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
      endfunc is omitted.

      Introduce crash console APIs for crash reporting · c67b09bd
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces platform APIs to initialise and
      print a character on a designated crash console.
      For the FVP platform, PL011_UART0 is the designated
      crash console. The platform porting guide is also updated
      to document the new APIs.

      Add support for BL3-1 as a reset vector · dbad1bac
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
      which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
      initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.
      
      When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that
      the BL3-1 platform code can determine the location of
      the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
      that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.
      
      It also fixes the incorrect initialisation of mailbox
      registers on the FVP platform
      
      This feature can be enabled by building the code with
      make variable RESET_TO_BL31 set as 1

      Optimise data cache clean/invalidate operation · 5f6032a8
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The data cache clean and invalidate operations dcsw_op_all()
      and dcsw_op_loius() were implemented to invoke a DSB and ISB
      barrier for every set/way operation. This adds a substantial
      performance penalty to an already expensive operation.
      
      These functions have been reworked to provide an optimised
      implementation derived from the code in section D3.4 of the
      ARMv8 ARM. The helper macro setup_dcsw_op_args has been moved
      and reworked alongside the implementation.

      Access system registers directly in assembler · 7935d0a5
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
      or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
      use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
      compact code.
      
      This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
      direct register accesses.

      Reduce deep nesting of header files · 97043ac9
      Dan Handley authored
      Reduce the number of header files included from other header
      files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
      declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
      "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
      
      Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
      including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

      Move include and source files to logical locations · 4ecca339
      Dan Handley authored
      Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
      under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
      not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
      corresponding source files to match the include directory
      structure.
      
      Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.

      Allocate single stacks for BL1 and BL2 · 2bf28e62
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The BL images share common stack management code which provides
      one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2
      just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require
      the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack
      support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the
      RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform.
      
      This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and
      calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where
      this has to be done in the firmware.
      
      The stack allocation source files are now included via
      platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows
      each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support
      for each BL image.
      
      Each platform makefile must be updated when including this
      commit.

      Add support for handling runtime service requests · caa84939
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
      runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
      convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
      inter-related. It does the following:
      
      1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
      2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
      3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
         structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
      4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
         structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
      5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
         runtime service

      Introduce new exception handling framework · 07f4e078
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays
      the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The
      type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is
      handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for:
      
      1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones
         on the exception stack
      
      2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system
         register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit.
      
      SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service
      requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose
      register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All
      assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers
      (x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence
      EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly.
      
      Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change,
      the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These
      files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches.

      rework general purpose registers save and restore · 4a826dda
      Achin Gupta authored
      The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for
      saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack
      memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the
      magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch
      replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile
      time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this
      structure.
