At present, warm-booted CPUs keep their caches disabled when enabling MMU, and remains so until they enter coherency later. On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, for which HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build flag would be enabled, warm-booted CPUs can have both caches and MMU enabled at once.

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.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points has been added. Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths: - Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory before entering the PSCI SMC handler. - Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before return to normal world. - Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry to a low power state which implies either standby or power down. As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface. - Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby or power up operation has completed. To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware one can perform the following calculation: (exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr). The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the frequency of the counter. Change-Id: Ie3b8f3d16409b6703747093b3a2d5c7429ad0166 Signed-off-by: dp-arm <dimitris.papastamos@arm.com>

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes introduced are as follows: * Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both cold and warm boots. * Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function `bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous `psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated. * The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific header. * The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime firmware using a different SMC context. NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()` is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be be aware of this change in sequence.

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.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set. Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during cold boot. A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not. For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external aborts. On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU, which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size and performance. COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary CPU distinction. If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code. All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the normal boot flow. For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform APIs become optional: - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(); - plat_is_my_cpu_primary(). The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that. User Guide updated as well. Change-Id: Ic5b474e61b7aec1377d1e0b6925d17dfc376c46b

The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option. The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11 (System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G). This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of changes: 1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache are removed. 2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA. 3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down. NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has a programmable or fixed reset vector address. If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

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.

There are couple of issues with how the interrupt routing framework in BL3_1 handles spurious interrupts. 1. In the macro 'handle_interrupt_exception', if a spurious interrupt is detected by plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(), then execution jumps to 'interrupt_exit_\label'. This macro uses the el3_exit() function to return to the original exception level. el3_exit() attempts to restore the SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 registers with values from the current CPU context. Since these registers were not saved in this code path, it programs stale values into these registers. This leads to unpredictable behaviour after the execution of the ERET instruction. 2. When an interrupt is routed to EL3, it could be de-asserted before the GICC_HPPIR is read in plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(). There could be another interrupt pending at the same time e.g. a non-secure interrupt. Its type will be returned instead of the original interrupt. This would result in a call to get_interrupt_type_handler(). The firmware will panic if the handler for this type of interrupt has not been registered. This patch fixes the first problem by saving SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 early in the 'handle_interrupt_exception' macro, instead of only doing so once the validity of the interrupt has been determined. The second problem is fixed by returning execution back to the lower exception level through the 'interrupt_exit_\label' label instead of treating it as an error condition. The 'interrupt_error_\label' label has been removed since it is no longer used. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#305 Change-Id: I81c729a206d461084db501bb81b44dff435021e8

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 cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus. This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled. This change removes the need: 1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation. 2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run. This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds. Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be executed or an overridden version of the code. The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been applied. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issue#275 Change-Id: Id295f106e4fda23d6736debdade2ac7f2a9a9053

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down seqeunces. An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a platform.

This patch disables routing of external aborts from lower exception levels to EL3 and ensures that a SError interrupt generated as a result of execution in EL3 is taken locally instead of a lower exception level. The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not been directly initiated by the normal world. This is to prevent the possibility of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being taken when execution is in S-EL1.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset (BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU) until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization. This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU. Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1. The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details (for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved to fvp_def.h. The porting guide has been updated accordingly. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#219 Change-Id: If675a1de8e8d25122b7fef147cb238d939f90b5e

This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are: * cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence it need not be saved to cpu_context. * cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to modify the access controls during normal execution and hence they are expected to remain static.

This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2. The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend. Change-Id: I8357e2eb5eb6c5f448492c5094b82b8927603784

This patch reworks the cold boot path across the BL1, BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 boot loader stages to not use stacks allocated in coherent memory for early platform setup and enabling the MMU. Stacks allocated in normal memory are used instead. Attributes for stack memory change from nGnRnE when the MMU is disabled to Normal WBWA Inner-shareable when the MMU and data cache are enabled. It is possible for the CPU to read stale stack memory after the MMU is enabled from another CPUs cache. Hence, it is unsafe to turn on the MMU and data cache while using normal stacks when multiple CPUs are a part of the same coherency domain. It is safe to do so in the cold boot path as only the primary cpu executes it. The secondary cpus are in a quiescent state. This patch does not remove the allocation of coherent stack memory. That is done in a subsequent patch. Change-Id: I12c80b7c7ab23506d425c5b3a8a7de693498f830
