      Add common ARM and CSS platform code · b4315306
      Dan Handley authored
      This major change pulls out the common functionality from the
      FVP and Juno platform ports into the following categories:
      
      *   (include/)plat/common. Common platform porting functionality that
      typically may be used by all platforms.
      
      *   (include/)plat/arm/common. Common platform porting functionality
      that may be used by all ARM standard platforms. This includes all
      ARM development platforms like FVP and Juno but may also include
      non-ARM-owned platforms.
      
      *   (include/)plat/arm/board/common. Common platform porting
      functionality for ARM development platforms at the board
      (off SoC) level.
      
      *   (include/)plat/arm/css/common. Common platform porting
      functionality at the ARM Compute SubSystem (CSS) level. Juno
      is an example of a CSS-based platform.
      
      *   (include/)plat/arm/soc/common. Common platform porting
      functionality at the ARM SoC level, which is not already defined
      at the ARM CSS level.
      
      No guarantees are made about the backward compatibility of
      functionality provided in (include/)plat/arm.
      
      Also remove any unnecessary variation between the ARM development
      platform ports, including:
      
      *   Unify the way BL2 passes `bl31_params_t` to BL3-1. Use the
      Juno implementation, which copies the information from BL2 memory
      instead of expecting it to persist in shared memory.
      
      *   Unify the TZC configuration. There is no need to add a region
      for SCP in Juno; it's enough to simply not allow any access to
      this reserved region. Also set region 0 to provide no access by
      default instead of assuming this is the case.
      
      *   Unify the number of memory map regions required for ARM
      development platforms, although the actual ranges mapped for each
      platform may be different. For the FVP port, this reduces the
      mapped peripheral address space.
      
      These latter changes will only be observed when the platform ports
      are migrated to use the new common platform code in subsequent
      patches.

      Add linker symbol declarations to bl_common.h · 90b3a6ac
      Dan Handley authored
      Add extern declarations of linker symbols to bl_common.h. These are
      used by platform ports to determine the memory layout of BL images.
      Adding the declarations to this file facilitates removal of these
      declarations from the platform porting source files in subsequent
      patches.
      
      Also remove the linker symbol declarations from common TSP source
      code.

      Remove use of PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE · ce4c820d
      Dan Handley authored
      The required platform constant PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE is
      unnecessary since CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE effectively provides the
      same information. CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE is preferred since this
      is an architecturally defined term and allows comparison with the
      corresponding hardware register value.
      
      Replace all usage of PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE with
      CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE.
      
      Also, add a runtime assert in BL1 to check that the provided
      CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE matches the value provided in CTR_EL0.

      Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions · 8b779620
      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.

      Remove the `owner` field in bakery_lock_t data structure · 548579f5
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch removes the `owner` field in bakery_lock_t structure which
      is the data structure used in the bakery lock implementation that uses
      coherent memory. The assertions to protect against recursive lock
      acquisition were based on the 'owner' field. They are now done based
      on the bakery lock ticket number. These assertions are also added
      to the bakery lock implementation that uses normal memory as well.

      Optimize the bakery lock structure for coherent memory · 1c9573a1
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch optimizes the data structure used with the bakery lock
      implementation for coherent memory to save memory and minimize memory
      accesses. These optimizations were already part of the bakery lock
      implementation for normal memory and this patch now implements
      it for the coherent memory implementation as well. Also
      included in the patch is a cleanup to use the do-while loop while
      waiting for other contenders to finish choosing their tickets.

      Common driver for ARM Cache Coherent Interconnects · 23e47ede
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      Even though both CCI-400 and CCI-500 IPs have different configurations
      with respect to the number and types of supported interfaces, their
      register offsets and programming sequences are similar. This patch
      creates a common driver for enabling and disabling snoop transactions
      and DVMs with both the IPs.
      
      New platform ports which implement one of these IPs should use this
      common driver. Existing platform ports which implement CCI-400 should
      migrate to the common driver as the standalone CCI-400 will be
      deprecated in the future.

      Initialise cpu ops after enabling data cache · 12e7c4ab
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      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.

      Enable type-checking of arguments passed to printf() et al. · dad25049
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch modifies the declarations of the functions printf() et al.
      and adds the right GCC attribute to request the compiler to check
      the type of the arguments passed to these functions against the given
      format string. This will ensure that the compiler outputs warning
      messages like the following whenever it detects an inconsistency:
      
       file.c:42: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long int’
      
      It also fixes the type mismatch inconsistencies that it revealed
      across the code base.
      
      NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY FORCE PLATFORM PORTS OR SP/SPDS THAT USE THE
      PRINTF FAMILY OF FUNCTIONS TO FIX ANY TYPE MISMATCH INCONSISTENCIES.

      Export maximum affinity using PLATFORM_MAX_AFFLVL macro · 8c32bc26
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch removes the plat_get_max_afflvl() platform API
      and instead replaces it with a platform macro PLATFORM_MAX_AFFLVL.
      This is done because the maximum affinity level for a platform

      TBB: add authentication module interface · 40febc3a
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch provides an API to access the authentication module that
      will be used to verify the authenticity of the images loaded into
      memory as part of the Trusted Board Boot process.
      
      To include the authentication module as part of the build, set the
      boolean build option TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT. One single authentication
      module must be registered at build time by setting the build option
      AUTH_MOD=<mod_name>. All authentication modules will be located in
      'common/auth/<mod_name>' and must present the <mod_name>.mk file that
      will be included by the build system to compile the module sources.
      
      To create an authentication module, an instance of auth_mod_t called
      'auth_mod' must be declared in the module sources. The initialization
      and verification functions provided by the module will be exported
      through the function pointers specified when declaring this instance.
      
      If an authentication module includes third party sources that do not
      adhere to the C99 standard, the -pedantic option may be removed from
      the build options by setting the flag DISABLE_PEDANTIC in the module
      file <mod_name>.mk.

      stdlib: add missing features to build PolarSSL · e509d057
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the missing features to the C library included
      in the Trusted Firmware to build PolarSSL:
      
        - strcasecmp() function
        - exit() function
        - sscanf()* function
        - time.h header file (and its dependencies)
      
      * NOTE: the sscanf() function is not a real implementation. It just
      returns the number of expected arguments by counting the number of
      '%' characters present in the formar string. This return value is
      good enough for PolarSSL because during the certificate parsing
      only the return value is checked. The certificate validity period
      is ignored.

      TBB: add a platform specific function to validate the ROTPK · 6eadf762
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the function plat_match_rotpk() to the platform
      porting layer to provide a Root Of Trust Public key (ROTPK)
      verification mechanism. This function is called during the
      Trusted Board Boot process and receives a supposed valid copy
      of the ROTPK as a parameter, usually obtained from an external
      source (for instance, a certificate). It returns 0 (success) if
      that key matches the actual ROTPK stored in the system or any
      other value otherwise.
      
      The mechanism to access the actual ROTPK stored in the system
      is platform specific and should be implemented as part of this
      function. The format of the ROTPK is also platform specific
      (to save memory, some platforms might store a hash of the key
      instead of the whole key).
      
      TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT build option has been added to allow the user
      to enable the Trusted Board Boot features. The implementation of
      the plat_match_rotpk() funtion is mandatory when Trusted Board
      Boot is enabled.
      
      For development purposes, FVP and Juno ports provide a dummy
      function that returns always success (valid key). A safe trusted
      boot implementation should provide a proper matching function.
      
      Documentation updated accordingly.

      Call reset handlers upon BL3-1 entry. · 79a97b2e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      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.

      Demonstrate model for routing IRQs to EL3 · f4f1ae77
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch provides an option to specify a interrupt routing model
      where non-secure interrupts (IRQs) are routed to EL3 instead of S-EL1.
      When such an interrupt occurs, the TSPD arranges a return to
      the normal world after saving any necessary context. The interrupt
      routing model to route IRQs to EL3 is enabled only during STD SMC
      processing. Thus the pre-emption of S-EL1 is disabled during Fast SMC
      and Secure Interrupt processing.
      
      A new build option TSPD_ROUTE_NS_INT_EL3 is introduced to change
      the non secure interrupt target execution level to EL3.

      the PSCI_ON handler are expected to be successful. Also, the PSCI
      implementation will now assert if a PSCI API is invoked without the
      corresponding pm_ops handler being registered by the platform.
      
      NOTE : PLATFORM PORTS WILL BREAK ON MERGE OF THIS COMMIT. The
      pm hooks have 2 additional optional callbacks and the return type
      of the other hooks have changed.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#229

      Save 'power_state' early in PSCI CPU_SUSPEND call · 31244d74
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds support to save the "power state" parameter before the
      affinity level specific handlers are called in a CPU_SUSPEND call.
      This avoids the need to pass the power_state as a parameter to the
      handlers and Secure Payload Dispatcher (SPD) suspend spd_pm_ops.
      The power_state arguments in the spd_pm_ops operations are now reserved
      and must not be used. The SPD can query the relevant power_state fields
      by using the psci_get_suspend_afflvl() & psci_get_suspend_stateid() APIs.
      
      NOTE: THIS PATCH WILL BREAK THE SPD_PM_OPS INTERFACE. HENCE THE SECURE
      PAYLOAD DISPATCHERS WILL NEED TO BE REWORKED TO USE THE NEW INTERFACE.

      Remove `ns_entrypoint` and `mpidr` from parameters in pm_ops · e146f4cc
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch removes the non-secure entry point information being passed
      to the platform pm_ops which is not needed. Also, it removes the `mpidr`
      parameter for  platform pm hooks which are meant to do power management
      operations only on the current cpu.
      
      NOTE: PLATFORM PORTS MUST BE UPDATED AFTER MERGING THIS COMMIT.

      Move bakery algorithm implementation out of coherent memory · 8c5fe0b5
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the bakery locks out of coherent memory to normal memory.
      This implies that the lock information needs to be placed on a separate cache
      line for each cpu. Hence the bakery_lock_info_t structure is allocated in the
      per-cpu data so as to minimize memory wastage. A similar platform per-cpu
      data is introduced for the platform locks.
      
      As a result of the above changes, the bakery lock api is completely changed.
      Earlier, a reference to the lock structure was passed to the lock implementation.
      Now a unique-id (essentially an index into the per-cpu data array) and an offset
      into the per-cpu data for bakery_info_t needs to be passed to the lock
      implementation.

      Invalidate the dcache after initializing cpu-ops · 09997346
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch fixes a crash due to corruption of cpu_ops
      data structure. During the secondary CPU boot, after the
      cpu_ops has been initialized in the per cpu-data, the
      dcache lines need to invalidated so that the update in
      memory can be seen later on when the dcaches are turned ON.
      Also, after initializing the psci per cpu data, the dcache
      lines are flushed so that they are written back to memory
      and dirty dcache lines are avoided.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#271

      Prevent optimisation of sysregs accessors calls · 36e2fd01
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Calls to system register read accessors functions may be optimised
      out by the compiler if called twice in a row for the same register.
      This is because the compiler is not aware that the result from
      the instruction may be modified by external agents. Therefore, if
      nothing modifies the register between the 2 reads as far as the
      compiler knows then it might consider that it is useless to read
      it twice and emit only 1 call.
      
      This behaviour is faulty for registers that may not have the same
      value if read twice in succession. E.g.: counters, timer
      control/countdown registers, GICv3 interrupt status registers and
      so on.
      
      The same problem happens for calls to system register write
      accessors functions. The compiler might optimise out some calls
      if it considers that it will produce the same result. Again, this
      behaviour is faulty for cases where intermediate writes to these
      registers make a difference in the system.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by making these assembly register
      accesses volatile.

      Improvements to ARM GIC driver · eb57fa56
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch introduces several improvements to the ARM GIC driver:
      
      * In function gicd_set_itargetsr(), target CPU is specified using
        the same bit mask detailed in the GICD_ITARGETSRn register instead
        of the CPU linear ID, removing the dependency between bit position
        and linear ID in the platform porting. The current CPU bit mask
        may be obtained by reading GICD_ITARGETSR0.
      
      * PPIs and SGIs are initialized in arm_gic_pcpu_distif_setup().
        SPIs are initialized in arm_gic_distif_setup().
      
      * By default, non secure interrupts are assigned the maximum
        priority allowed to a non secure interrupt (defined by
        GIC_HIGHEST_NS_PRIORITY).
      
      * GICR base address is allowed to be NULL for GICv1 and GICv2.
