      Make the memory layout more flexible · a37255a2
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Currently the platform code gets to define the base address of each
      boot loader image. However, the linker scripts couteract this
      flexibility by enforcing a fixed overall layout of the different
      images. For example, they require that the BL3-1 image sits below
      the BL2 image. Choosing BL3-1 and BL2 base addresses in such a way
      that it violates this constraint makes the build fail at link-time.
      
      This patch requires the platform code to now define a limit address
      for each image. The linker scripts check that the image fits within
      these bounds so they don't rely anymore on the position of a given
      image in regard to the others.

      Add support for synchronous FIQ handling in TSP · 6cf89021
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch adds support in the TSP for handling S-EL1 interrupts
      handed over by the TSPD. It includes GIC support in its platform port,
      updates various statistics related to FIQ handling, exports an entry
      point that the TSPD can use to hand over interrupts and defines the
      handover protocol w.r.t what context is the TSP expected to preserve
      and the state in which the entry point is invoked by the TSPD.

      Introduce platform api to access an ARM GIC · dcc1816c
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch introduces a set of functions which allow generic firmware
      code e.g. the interrupt management framework to access the platform
      interrupt controller. APIs for finding the type and id of the highest
      pending interrupt, acknowledging and EOIing an interrupt and finding
      the security state of an interrupt have been added. It is assumed that
      the platform interrupt controller implements the v2.0 of the ARM GIC
      architecture specification. Support for v3.0 of the specification for
      managing interrupts in EL3 and the platform port will be added in the
      future.

      Introduce interrupt registration framework in BL3-1 · e1333f75
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch introduces a framework for registering interrupts routed to
      EL3. The interrupt routing model is governed by the SCR_EL3.IRQ and
      FIQ bits and the security state an interrupt is generated in. The
      framework recognizes three type of interrupts depending upon which
      exception level and security state they should be handled in
      i.e. Secure EL1 interrupts, Non-secure interrupts and EL3
      interrupts. It provides an API and macros that allow a runtime service
      to register an handler for a type of interrupt and specify the routing
      model. The framework validates the routing model and uses the context
      management framework to ensure that it is applied to the SCR_EL3 prior
      to entry into the target security state. It saves the handler in
      internal data structures. An API is provided to retrieve the handler
      when an interrupt of a particular type is asserted. Registration is
      expected to be done once by the primary CPU. The same handler and
      routing model is used for all CPUs.
      
      Support for EL3 interrupts will be added to the framework in the
      future. A makefile flag has been added to allow the FVP port choose
      between ARM GIC v2 and v3 support in EL3. The latter version is
      currently unsupported.
      
      A framework for handling interrupts in BL3-1 will be introduced in
      subsequent patches. The default routing model in the absence of any
      handlers expects no interrupts to be routed to EL3.

      fvp: Move TSP from Secure DRAM to Secure SRAM · 53514b29
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The TSP used to execute from secure DRAM on the FVPs because there was
      not enough space in Trusted SRAM to fit it in. Thanks to recent RAM
      usage enhancements being implemented, we have made enough savings for
      the TSP to execute in SRAM.
      
      However, there is no contiguous free chunk of SRAM big enough to hold
      the TSP. Therefore, the different bootloader images need to be moved
      around to reduce memory fragmentation. This patch keeps the overall
      memory layout (i.e. keeping BL1 R/W at the bottom, BL2 at the top and
      BL3-1 in between) but moves the base addresses of all the bootloader
      images in such a way that:
       - memory fragmentation is reduced enough to fit BL3-2 in;
       - new base addresses are suitable for release builds as well as debug
         ones;
       - each image has a few extra kilobytes for future growth.
         BL3-1 and BL3-2 are the images which received the biggest slice
         of the cake since they will most probably grow the most.
      
      A few useful numbers for reference (valid at the time of this patch):
              |-----------------------|-------------------------------
              |  image size (debug)   |  extra space for the future
      --------|-----------------------|-------------------------------

      BL2     |         44 KB         |            4 KB
      BL3-1   |        108 KB         |           12 KB
      BL3-2   |         56 KB         |            8 KB

      Although on FVPs the TSP now executes from Trusted SRAM by default,
      this patch keeps the option to execute it from Trusted DRAM. This is
      controlled by the build configuration 'TSP_RAM_LOCATION'.

      TSP: Let the platform decide which secure memory to use · 2467f70f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The TSP's linker script used to assume that the TSP would
      execute from secure DRAM. Although it is currently the case
      on FVPs, platforms are free to use any secure memory they wish.
      
      This patch introduces the flexibility to load the TSP into any
      secure memory. The platform code gets to specify the extents of
      this memory in the platform header file, as well as the BL3-2 image
      limit address. The latter definition allows to check in a generic way
      that the BL3-2 image fits in its bounds.

      Reserve some DDR DRAM for secure use on FVP platforms · 364daf93

      Add support for BL3-1 as a reset vector · dbad1bac
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
      which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
      initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.
      
      When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that
      the BL3-1 platform code can determine the location of
      the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
      that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.
      
      It also fixes the incorrect initialisation of mailbox
      registers on the FVP platform
      
      This feature can be enabled by building the code with
      make variable RESET_TO_BL31 set as 1

      Rework handover interface between BL stages · 29fb905d
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and
      BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el()
      and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were
      never exercised.
      BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
      by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
      execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
      to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
      running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
      'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
      general purpose registers earlier.

      Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting · a43d431b
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
      taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
      to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
      previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
      This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
      contents for debugging and analysis.
      
      This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
      to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
      Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.
      
      panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
      and prints the PC value in release mode.
      
      The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
      The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
      since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
      and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
      utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
      crash happens and hence the rename.

      "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
      
      Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
      including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

      Always use named structs in header files · fb037bfb
      Dan Handley authored
      Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
      allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
      reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
      commit).
      
      Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
      suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
      coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
      this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.
      
      Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
      structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.

      Enable secure memory support for FVPs · f2199d95
      Harry Liebel authored
      - Use the TrustZone controller on Base FVP to program DRAM access
        permissions. By default no access to DRAM is allowed if
        'secure memory' is enabled on the Base FVP.
      - The Foundation FVP does not have a TrustZone controller but instead
        has fixed access permissions.
      - Update FDTs for Linux to use timers at the correct security level.
      - Starting the FVPs with 'secure memory' disabled is also supported.
      
      Limitations:
      Virtio currently uses a reserved NSAID. This will be corrected in
      future FVP releases.

      Allocate single stacks for BL1 and BL2 · 2bf28e62
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The BL images share common stack management code which provides
      one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2
      just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require
      the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack
      support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the
      RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform.
      
      This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and
      calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where
      this has to be done in the firmware.
      
      The stack allocation source files are now included via
      platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows
      each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support
      for each BL image.
      
      Each platform makefile must be updated when including this
      commit.

      Define frequency of system counter in platform code · 9e86490f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
      into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
      platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
      the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
      In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
      modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.
      
      All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
      platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
      The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
      to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
      initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
      request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
      explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
      fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.
      
      In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
      is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
      the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.
      
      This patch also updates the relevant documentation.
      
      It properly fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#24

      This reverts commit 1c297bf0
      because it introduced a bug: the CNTFRQ_EL0 register was no
      longer programmed by all CPUs.  bl31_platform_setup() function
      is invoked only in the cold boot path and consequently only
      on the primary cpu.
      
      A subsequent commit will correctly implement the necessary changes
      to the counter frequency setup code.
