      Initialise CPU contexts from entry_point_info · 167a9357
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Consolidate all BL3-1 CPU context initialization for cold boot, PSCI
      and SPDs into two functions:
      *  The first uses entry_point_info to initialize the relevant
         cpu_context for first entry into a lower exception level on a CPU
      *  The second populates the EL1 and EL2 system registers as needed
         from the cpu_context to ensure correct entry into the lower EL
      
      This patch alters the way that BL3-1 determines which exception level
      is used when first entering EL1 or EL2 during cold boot - this is now
      fully determined by the SPSR value in the entry_point_info for BL3-3,
      as set up by the platform code in BL2 (or otherwise provided to BL3-1).
      
      In the situation that EL1 (or svc mode) is selected for a processor
      that supports EL2, the context management code will now configure all
      essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. This
      allows the platform code to run non-secure EL1 payloads directly
      without requiring a small EL2 stub or OS loader.

      Remove early_exceptions from BL3-1 · ee94cc6f
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The crash reporting support and early initialisation of the
      cpu_data allow the runtime_exception vectors to be used from
      the start in BL3-1, removing the need for the additional
      early_exception vectors and 2KB of code from BL3-1.

      Per-cpu data cache restructuring · 5e910074
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      This patch prepares the per-cpu pointer cache for wider use by:
      * renaming the structure to cpu_data and placing in new header
      * providing accessors for this CPU, or other CPUs
      * splitting the initialization of the TPIDR pointer from the
        initialization of the cpu_data content
      * moving the crash stack initialization to a crash stack function
      * setting the TPIDR pointer very early during boot

      Provide cm_get/set_context() for current CPU · 08ab89d3

      All callers of cm_get_context() pass the calling CPU MPIDR to the
      function. Providing a specialised version for the current
      CPU results in a reduction in code size and better readability.
      
      The current function has been renamed to cm_get_context_by_mpidr()
      and the existing name is now used for the current-CPU version.
      
      The same treatment has been done to cm_set_context(), although
      only both forms are used at present in the PSCI and TSPD code.

      Move BL porting functions into platform.h · dec5e0d1
      Dan Handley authored
      Some platform porting functions were in BL specific header files.
      These have been moved to platform.h so that all porting functions
      are in the same place. The functions are now grouped by BL.
      Obsolete BL headers files have been removed.
      
      Also, the weak declaration of the init_bl2_mem_layout() function
      has been moved out the header file and into the source file
      (bl_common.c) using the more succinct #pragma syntax. This
      mitigates the risk of 2 weak definitions being created and the
      wrong one being picked up by the compiler.

      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.

      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch adds a common handler for FIQ and IRQ exceptions in the

      the event of a spurious interrupt, execution resumes from the
      instruction where the interrupt was generated.

      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.

      introduce interrupt management in EL3 to specify the interrupt routing

      Add support for BL3-1 as a reset vector · dbad1bac

      the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
      that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.

      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

      Add build configuration for timer save/restore · 2da8d8bf
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
      part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
      non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
      from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
      non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
      sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
      of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
      unnecessary.
      
      This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
      to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
      upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
      them.

      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.

      Preserve x19-x29 across world switch for exception handling · c3260f9b
      Soby Mathew authored
      Previously exception handlers in BL3-1, X19-X29 were not saved
      and restored on every SMC/trap into EL3. Instead these registers
      were 'saved as needed' as a side effect of the A64 ABI used by the C
      compiler.
      
      That approach failed when world switching but was not visible
      with the TSP/TSPD code because the TSP is 64-bit, did not
      clobber these registers when running and did not support pre-emption
      by normal world interrupts. These scenarios showed
      that the values in these registers can be passed through a world
      switch, which broke the normal and trusted world assumptions
      about these registers being preserved.
      
      The Ideal solution saves and restores these registers when a
      world switch occurs - but that type of implementation is more complex.
      So this patch always saves and restores these registers on entry and
      exit of EL3.

      Access system registers directly in assembler · 7935d0a5
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
      or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
      use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
      compact code.
      
      This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
      direct register accesses.

      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.

      Set processor endianness immediately after RESET · 40fd0725
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      SCTLR_EL3.EE is being configured too late in bl1_arch_setup() and
      bl31_arch_setup() after data accesses have already occured on
      the cold and warm boot paths.
      
      This control bit must be configured immediately on CPU reset to
      match the endian state of the firmware (little endian).

      Remove variables from .data section · 625de1d4
      Dan Handley authored
      Update code base to remove variables from the .data section,
      mainly by using const static data where possible and adding
      the const specifier as required. Most changes are to the IO
      subsystem, including the framework APIs. The FVP power
      management code is also affected.
      
      Delay initialization of the global static variable,
      next_image_type in bl31_main.c, until it is realy needed.
      Doing this moves the variable from the .data to the .bss
      section.
      
      Also review the IO interface for inconsistencies, using
      uintptr_t where possible instead of void *. Remove the
      io_handle and io_dev_handle typedefs, which were
      unnecessary, replacing instances with uintptr_t.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#107.

      Reduce deep nesting of header files · 97043ac9
      Dan Handley authored
      Reduce the number of header files included from other header
      files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
      declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
      "#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.

      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

      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      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.
