      Remove build option `ASM_ASSERTION` · 044bb2fa
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      The build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` should be used instead. That way
      both C and ASM assertions can be enabled or disabled together.
      
      All occurrences of `ASM_ASSERTION` in common code and ARM platforms have
      been replaced by `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS`.
      
      ASM_ASSERTION has been removed from the user guide.

      Introduce unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
      addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
      time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
      without doing external memory access.
      
      Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
      zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
      
      Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
      firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
      with zeromem16 requirements).
      
      Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
      8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
      more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
      
      Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
      that are implemented this way:
      * AArch32:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
      	* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
      * AArch64:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory  using DC ZVA instruction
      	                  (needs MMU enabled)
      	* zeromem: zero using usual data access
      
      Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
      
      There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
      * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
        considered device memory for data accesses).
      * Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
      
      Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
      important:
      * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
        memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
      
        Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
        zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
        compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

      Make generic code work in presence of system caches · 54dc71e7
      Achin Gupta authored
      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.

      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.

      Replace disable_mmu with assembler version · 2f5dcfef
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      disable_mmu() cannot work as a C function as there is no control
      over data accesses generated by the compiler between disabling and
      cleaning the data cache. This results in reading stale data from
      main memory.
      
      As assembler version is provided for EL3, and a variant that also
      disables the instruction cache which is now used by the BL1
      exception handling function.

      Correct usage of data and instruction barriers · 8cec598b
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The current code does not always use data and instruction
      barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses
      barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the
      write_*() helper functions.
      
      Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code
      when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in
      order to enable review of correctness of the code.
      
      This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and
      introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code.
      
      PORTING NOTE: check any port of Trusted Firmware for use of
      system register helper functions for reliance on the previous
      barrier behaviour and add explicit barriers as necessary.

      Add support for handling runtime service requests · caa84939
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
      runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
      convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
      inter-related. It does the following:
      
      1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
      2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
      3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
         structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
      4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
         structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
      5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
         runtime service

      rework general purpose registers save and restore · 4a826dda
      Achin Gupta authored
      The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for
      saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack
      memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the
      magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch
      replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile
      time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this
      structure.
