      doc: qemu: fix and update documentation · 62038be7
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      

The current URL for QEMU_EFI.fd is not found. Update the link to
point to the new one.

If you run the shell command as instructed, you will see this error:
  qemu-system-aarch64: keep_bootcon: Could not open 'keep_bootcon': No such file or directory

The part "console=ttyAMA0,38400 keep_bootcon root=/dev/vda2" is the
kernel parameter, so it must be quoted.

As of writing, QEMU v4.2.0 is the latest, but it does not work for
TF-A (It has been fixed in the mainline.) QEMU v4.1.0 works fine.

With those issues addressed, I succeeded in booting the latest kernel.

Tested with QEMU v4.1.0 and Linux 5.5 (defconfig with no modification).
Update the tested versions.

      Unify type of "cpu_idx" across PSCI module. · 5b33ad17
      Deepika Bhavnani authored 
      

NOTE for platform integrators:
   API `plat_psci_stat_get_residency()` third argument
   `last_cpu_idx` is changed from "signed int" to the
   "unsigned int" type.

Issue / Trouble points
1. cpu_idx is used as mix of `unsigned int` and `signed int` in code
with typecasting at some places leading to coverity issues.

2. Underlying platform API's return cpu_idx as `unsigned int`
and comparison is performed with platform specific defines
`PLAFORM_xxx` which is not consistent

Misra Rule 10.4:
The value of a complex expression of integer type may only be cast to
a type that is narrower and of the same signedness as the underlying
type of the expression.

Based on above points, cpu_idx is kept as `unsigned int` to match
the API's and low-level functions and platform defines are updated
where ever required

      bl31: Split into two separate memory regions · f8578e64
      Samuel Holland authored 
      

Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
NOBITS region is invalidated separately.

      spm-mm: Refactor secure_partition.h and its contents · aeaa225c
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

Before adding any new SPM-related components we should first do
some cleanup around the existing SPM-MM implementation. The aim
is to make sure that any SPM-MM components have names that clearly
indicate that they are MM-related. Otherwise, when adding new SPM
code, it could quickly become confusing as it would be unclear to
which component the code belongs.

The secure_partition.h header is a clear example of this, as the
name is generic so it could easily apply to any SPM-related code,
when it is in fact SPM-MM specific.

This patch renames the file and the two structures defined within
it, and then modifies any references in files that use the header.

      spm: Remove SPM Alpha 1 prototype and support files · 538b0020
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

The Secure Partition Manager (SPM) prototype implementation is
being removed. This is preparatory work for putting in place a
dispatcher component that, in turn, enables partition managers
at S-EL2 / S-EL1.

This patch removes:

- The core service files (std_svc/spm)
- The Resource Descriptor headers (include/services)
- SPRT protocol support and service definitions
- SPCI protocol support and service definitions

      Remove dependency between SPM_MM and ENABLE_SPM build flags · 3f3c341a
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

There are two different implementations of Secure Partition
management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM)
design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface
(SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their
build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development
harder than it should be. This patch removes that
dependency, making the two flags function independently.

Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation.
        By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and
        this is overridden if SPM_MM=1.

After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation.
       SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation.
       The two build flags are mutually exclusive.

Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit
ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this
patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is
easier to track the changes that were made.

      Remove -Wpadded warning · 11a96e0e
      Justin Chadwell authored 
      

-Wpadded warns whenever the C compiler automatically includes any
padding in a structure. Because TF-A has a large number of structures,
this occurs fairly frequently and is incredibly verbose, and as such is
unlikely to ever be fixed.

The utility of this warning is also extremely limited - knowing that a
structure includes padding does not point to the existence of an error,
and is probably quite unlikely to indicate actually buggy behaviour.
Therefore, it's probably best to keep this warning off at all times.

      Enable Link Time Optimization in GCC · edbce9aa
      zelalem-aweke authored 
      

This patch enables LTO for TF-A when compiled with GCC.
LTO is disabled by default and is enabled by
ENABLE_LTO=1 build option.

LTO is enabled only for aarch64 as there seem to be
a bug in the aarch32 compiler when LTO is enabled.

The changes in the makefiles include:
- Adding -flto and associated flags to enable LTO.
- Using gcc as a wrapper at link time instead of ld.
  This is recommended when using LTO as gcc internally
  takes care of invoking the necessary plugins for LTO.
- Adding switches to pass options to ld.
- Adding a flag to disable fix for erratum cortex-a53-843419
  unless explicitly enabled. This is needed because GCC
  seem to automatically add the erratum fix when used
  as a wrapper for LD.

Additionally, this patch updates the TF-A user guide with
the new build option.

      doc: Split the User Guide into multiple files · 43f35ef5
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:

- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno

I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.
