In the Cortex-A35/A53/A57 CPUs library code, some of the CPU specific reset operations are skipped if they have already been applied in a previous invocation of the reset handler. This precaution is not required, as all these operations can be reapplied safely. This patch removes the unneeded test-before-set instructions in the reset handler for these CPUs.

The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI 0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead. This patch introduces 2 new build flags: A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are enabled by default. The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use case as well.

The debug prints used to debug translation table setup in xlat_tables.c used the `printf()` standard library function instead of the stack optimized `tf_printf()` API. DEBUG_XLAT_TABLE option was used to enable debug logs within xlat_tables.c and it configured a much larger stack size for the platform in case it was enabled. This patch modifies these debug prints within xlat_tables.c to use tf_printf() and modifies the format specifiers to be compatible with tf_printf(). The debug prints are now enabled if the VERBOSE prints are enabled in Trusted Firmware via LOG_LEVEL build option. The much larger stack size definition when DEBUG_XLAT_TABLE is defined is no longer required and the platform ports are modified to remove this stack size definition.

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. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#205 Change-Id: I64f1b398de0432813a0e0881d70f8337681f6e9a

This patch unifies the bakery lock api's across coherent and normal memory implementation of locks by using same data type `bakery_lock_t` and similar arguments to functions. A separate section `bakery_lock` has been created and used to allocate memory for bakery locks using `DEFINE_BAKERY_LOCK`. When locks are allocated in normal memory, each lock for a core has to spread across multiple cache lines. By using the total size allocated in a separate cache line for a single core at compile time, the memory for other core locks is allocated at link time by multiplying the single core locks size with (PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1). The normal memory lock algorithm now uses lock address instead of the `id` in the per_cpu_data. For locks allocated in coherent memory, it moves locks from tzfw_coherent_memory to bakery_lock section. The bakery locks are allocated as part of bss or in coherent memory depending on usage of coherent memory. Both these regions are initialised to zero as part of run_time_init before locks are used. Hence, bakery_lock_init() is made an empty function as the lock memory is already initialised to zero. The above design lead to the removal of psci bakery locks from non_cpu_power_pd_node to psci_locks. NOTE: THE BAKERY LOCK API WHEN USE_COHERENT_MEM IS NOT SET HAS CHANGED. THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT ALLOCATE BAKERY LOCKS IN NORMAL MEMORY. Change-Id: Ic3751c0066b8032dcbf9d88f1d4dc73d15f61d8b

Denver is NVIDIA's own custom-designed, 64-bit, dual-core CPU which is fully ARMv8 architecture compatible. Each of the two Denver cores implements a 7-way superscalar microarchitecture (up to 7 concurrent micro-ops can be executed per clock), and includes a 128KB 4-way L1 instruction cache, a 64KB 4-way L1 data cache, and a 2MB 16-way L2 cache, which services both cores. Denver implements an innovative process called Dynamic Code Optimization, which optimizes frequently used software routines at runtime into dense, highly tuned microcode-equivalent routines. These are stored in a dedicated, 128MB main-memory-based optimization cache. After being read into the instruction cache, the optimized micro-ops are executed, re-fetched and executed from the instruction cache as long as needed and capacity allows. Effectively, this reduces the need to re-optimize the software routines. Instead of using hardware to extract the instruction-level parallelism (ILP) inherent in the code, Denver extracts the ILP once via software techniques, and then executes those routines repeatedly, thus amortizing the cost of ILP extraction over the many execution instances. Denver also features new low latency power-state transitions, in addition to extensive power-gating and dynamic voltage and clock scaling based on workloads.

The return value from the SYS_WRITE semihosting operation is 0 if the call is successful or the number of bytes not written, if there is an error. The implementation of the write function in the semihosting driver treats the return value as the number of bytes written, which is wrong. This patch fixes it.

This patch fixes an issue in the cpu specific register reporting of FVP AEM model whereby crash reporting itself triggers an exception thus resulting in recursive crash prints. The input to the 'size_controlled_print' in the crash reporting framework should be a NULL terminated string. As there were no cpu specific register to be reported on FVP AEM model, the issue was caused by passing 0 instead of NULL terminated string to the above mentioned function.

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.

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. Change-Id: If4850a00dffd3977e218c0f0a8d145808f36b470

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. Change-Id: Iedb305473133dc8f12126726d8329b67888b70f1

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.

The CPU specific reset handlers no longer have the freedom of using any general purpose register because it is being invoked by the BL3-1 entry point in addition to BL1. The Cortex-A57 CPU specific reset handler was overwriting x20 register which was being used by the BL3-1 entry point to save the entry point information. This patch fixes this bug by reworking the register allocation in the Cortex-A57 reset handler to avoid using x20. The patch also explicitly mentions the register clobber list for each of the callee functions invoked by the reset handler Change-Id: I28fcff8e742aeed883eaec8f6c4ee2bd3fce30df

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.

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 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.

This patch is an optimization in the bakery_lock_get() function which removes the wfe() when waiting for other contenders to choose their ticket i.e when their `entering` flag is set. Since the time taken to execute bakery_get_ticket() by other contenders is bounded, this wait is a bounded time wait. Hence the removal of wfe() and the corresponding sev() and dsb() in bakery_get_ticket() may result in better time performance during lock acquisition.

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.

This patch optimizes the Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not flushing the Level1 data cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified cache are inclusive. A flush of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty lines from the L1 as well. This is a known safe deviation from the Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down sequence. This optimization can be enabled by the platform through the 'SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN' build flag. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on whether to use the optimization. This patch also renames the cpu-errata-workarounds.md to cpu-specific-build-macros.md as this facilitates documentation of both CPU Specific errata and CPU Specific Optimization build macros.

Prior to this patch, the errata workarounds were applied for any version of the CPU in the release build and in the debug build an assert failure resulted when the revision did not match. This patch applies errata workarounds in the Cortex-A57 reset handler only if the 'variant' and 'revision' fields read from the MIDR_EL1 match. In the debug build, a warning message is printed for each errata workaround which is not applied. The patch modifies the register usage in 'reset_handler` so as to adhere to ARM procedure calling standards. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#242 Change-Id: I51b1f876474599db885afa03346e38a476f84c29

This patch adds level specific cache maintenance functions to cache_helpers.S. The new functions 'dcsw_op_levelx', where '1 <= x <= 3', allow to perform cache maintenance by set/way for that particular level of cache. With this patch, functions to support cache maintenance upto level 3 have been implemented since it is the highest cache level for most ARM SoCs. These functions are now utilized in CPU specific power down sequences to implement them as mandated by processor specific technical reference manual.

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.

The intent of io_init() was to allow platform ports to provide a data object (io_plat_data_t) to the IO storage framework to allocate into. The abstraction was incomplete because io_plat_data_t uses a platform defined constant and the IO storage framework internally allocates other arrays using platform defined constants. This change simplifies the implementation by instantiating the supporting objects in the IO storage framework itself. There is now no need for the platform to call io_init(). The FVP port has been updated accordingly. THIS CHANGE REQUIRES ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT USE THE IO STORAGE FRAMEWORK TO BE UDPATED. Change-Id: Ib48ac334de9e538064734334c773f8b43df3a7dc
