      io: block: fix block_read/write may read/write overlap buffer · e19e40af
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      The block operations were trying to optimize the number of memory
      copies, and it tried to use directly the buffer supplied by the user
      to them. This was a mistake because it created too many corner cases:
      
      	1- It was possible to generate unaligned
      	   operations to unaligned buffers. Drivers that were using
      	   DMA transfer failed in that case.
      
      	2- It was possible to generate read operations
      	   with sizes that weren't a multiple of the block size. Some
      	   low level drivers assumed that condition and they calculated
      	   the number of blocks dividing the number of bytes by the
      	   size of the block, without considering the remaining bytes.
      
      	3- The block_* operations didn't control the
      	   number of bytes actually copied to memory, because the
      	   low level drivers were writing directly to the user buffer.
      
      This patch rewrite block_read and block_write to use always the device
      buffer, which the platform ensures that has the correct aligment and
      the correct size.

      Replace some memset call by zeromem · 32f0d3c6
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized
      structure by applying the following transformation:
      memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x))
      
      As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the
      compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to
      the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement
      for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32
      and AArch64.

      IO: support block device type · 9da7a653
      Haojian Zhuang authored
      
      
      FIP is accessed as memory-mapped type. eMMC is block device type.
      In order to support FIP based on eMMC, add the new io_block layer.
      
      io_block always access eMMC device as block size. And it'll only
      copy the required data into buffer in io_block driver. So preparing
      an temporary buffer is required.
      
      When use io_block device, MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES should be declared
      in platform_def.h. It's used to support multiple block devices.
