      PSCI: Unify warm reset entry points · eb975f52
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      There used to be 2 warm reset entry points:
      
       - the "on finisher", for when the core has been turned on using a
         PSCI CPU_ON call;
      
       - the "suspend finisher", entered upon resumption from a previous
         PSCI CPU_SUSPEND call.
      
      The appropriate warm reset entry point used to be programmed into the
      mailboxes by the power management hooks.
      
      However, it is not required to provide this information to the PSCI
      entry point code, as it can figure it out by itself. By querying affinity
      info state, a core is able to determine on which execution path it is.
      If the state is ON_PENDING then it means it's been turned on else
      it is resuming from suspend.
      
      This patch unifies the 2 warm reset entry points into a single one:
      psci_entrypoint(). The patch also implements the necessary logic
      to distinguish between the 2 types of warm resets in the power up
      finisher.
      
      The plat_setup_psci_ops() API now takes the
      secure entry point as an additional parameter to enable the platforms
      to configure their mailbox. The platform hooks `pwr_domain_on`
      and `pwr_domain_suspend` no longer take secure entry point as
      a parameter.

      PSCI: Add framework to handle composite power states · 8ee24980
      Soby Mathew authored
      The state-id field in the power-state parameter of a CPU_SUSPEND call can be
      used to describe composite power states specific to a platform. The current PSCI
      implementation does not interpret the state-id field. It relies on the target
      power level and the state type fields in the power-state parameter to perform
      state coordination and power management operations. The framework introduced
      in this patch allows the PSCI implementation to intepret generic global states
      like RUN, RETENTION or OFF from the State-ID to make global state coordination
      decisions and reduce the complexity of platform ports. It adds support to
      involve the platform in state coordination which facilitates the use of
      composite power states and improves the support for entering standby states
      at multiple power domains.
      
      The patch also includes support for extended state-id format for the power
      state parameter as specified by PSCIv1.0.
      
      The PSCI implementation now defines a generic representation of the power-state
      parameter. It depends on the platform port to convert the power-state parameter
      (possibly encoding a composite power state) passed in a CPU_SUSPEND call to this
      representation via the `validate_power_state()` plat_psci_ops handler. It is an
      array where each index corresponds to a power level. Each entry contains the
      local power state the power domain at that power level could enter.
      
      The meaning of the local power state values is platform defined, and may vary
      between levels in a single platform. The PSCI implementation constrains the
      values only so that it can classify the state as RUN, RETENTION or OFF as
      required by the specification:
         * zero means RUN
         * all OFF state values at all levels must be higher than all RETENTION
           state values at all levels
         * the platform provides PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE values
           to the framework
      
      The platform also must define the macros PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and
      PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE which lets the PSCI implementation find out which power
      domains have been requested to enter a retention or power down state. The PSCI
      implementation does not interpret the local power states defined by the
      platform. The only constraint is that the PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE <
      PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE.
      
      For a power domain tree, the generic implementation maintains an array of local
      power states. These are the states requested for each power domain by all the
      cores contained within the domain. During a request to place multiple power
      domains in a low power state, the platform is passed an array of requested
      power-states for each power domain through the plat_get_target_pwr_state()
      API. It coordinates amongst these states to determine a target local power
      state for the power domain. A default weak implementation of this API is
      provided in the platform layer which returns the minimum of the requested
      power-states back to the PSCI state coordination.
      
      Finally, the plat_psci_ops power management handlers are passed the target
      local power states for each affected power domain using the generic
      representation described above. The platform executes operations specific to
      these target states.
      
      The platform power management handler for placing a power domain in a standby
      state (plat_pm_ops_t.pwr_domain_standby()) is now only used as a fast path for
      placing a core power domain into a standby or retention state should now be
      used to only place the core power domain in a standby or retention state.
      
      The extended state-id power state format can be enabled by setting the
      build flag PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID=1 and it is disabled by default.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform interface to describe topology · 82dcc039
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch removes the assumption in the current PSCI implementation that MPIDR
      based affinity levels map directly to levels in a power domain tree. This
      enables PSCI generic code to support complex power domain topologies as
      envisaged by PSCIv1.0 specification. The platform interface for querying
      the power domain topology has been changed such that:
      
      1. The generic PSCI code does not generate MPIDRs and use them to query the
         platform about the number of power domains at a particular power level. The
         platform now provides a description of the power domain tree on the SoC
         through a data structure. The existing platform APIs to provide the same
         information have been removed.
      
      2. The linear indices returned by plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and
         plat_my_core_pos() are used to retrieve core power domain nodes from the
         power domain tree. Power domains above the core level are accessed using a
         'parent' field in the tree node descriptors.
      
      The platform describes the power domain tree in an array of 'unsigned
      char's. The first entry in the array specifies the number of power domains at
      the highest power level implemented in the system. Each susbsequent entry
      corresponds to a power domain and contains the number of power domains that are
      its direct children. This array is exported to the generic PSCI implementation
      via the new `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` platform API.
      
      The PSCI generic code uses this array to populate its internal power domain tree
      using the Breadth First Search like algorithm. The tree is split into two
      arrays:
      
      1. An array that contains all the core power domain nodes
      
      2. An array that contains all the other power domain nodes
      
      A separate array for core nodes allows certain core specific optimisations to
      be implemented e.g. remove the bakery lock, re-use per-cpu data framework for
      storing some information.
      
      Entries in the core power domain array are allocated such that the
      array index of the domain is equal to the linear index returned by
      plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() and plat_my_core_pos() for the MPIDR
      corresponding to that domain. This relationship is key to be able to use
      an MPIDR to find the corresponding core power domain node, traverse to higher
      power domain nodes and index into arrays that contain core specific
      information.
      
      An introductory document has been added to briefly describe the new interface.

      PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs · 12d0d00d
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
      to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
      framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
      assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
      in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
      helpers based on core position are as described below:
      
      * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
      
      These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
      'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
      linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
      the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
      validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
      if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
      safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
      the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
      
      Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
      platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
      of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
      MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
      This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
      topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
      this API before the topology setup has been done.
      
      The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
      Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
      returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
      this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
      platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
      ports later in the patch stack.
      
      * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
      
      These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
      appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
      'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
      of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
      
      * Context management helpers based on linear core position
      
      A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
      cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
      are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
      as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
      allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
      framework is done.

      PSCI: Remove references to affinity based power management · 4067dc31
      Soby Mathew authored
      As per Section 4.2.2. in the PSCI specification, the term "affinity"
      is used in the context of describing the hierarchical arrangement
      of cores. This often, but not always, maps directly to the processor
      power domain topology of the system. The current PSCI implementation
      assumes that this is always the case i.e. MPIDR based levels of
      affinity always map to levels in a power domain topology tree.
      
      This patch is the first in a series of patches which remove this
      assumption. It removes all occurences of the terms "affinity
      instances and levels" when used to describe the power domain
      topology. Only the terminology is changed in this patch. Subsequent
      patches will implement functional changes to remove the above
      mentioned assumption.

      PSCI: Invoke PM hooks only for the highest level · 6590ce22
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch optimizes the invocation of the platform power management hooks for
      ON, OFF and SUSPEND such that they are called only for the highest affinity
      level which will be powered off/on. Earlier, the hooks were being invoked for
      all the intermediate levels as well.
      
      This patch requires that the platforms migrate to the new semantics of the PM
      hooks.  It also removes the `state` parameter from the pm hooks as the `afflvl`
      parameter now indicates the highest affinity level for which power management
      operations are required.

      PSCI: Create new directory to implement new frameworks · b48349eb
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch creates a copy of the existing PSCI files and related psci.h and
      platform.h header files in a new `PSCI1.0` directory. The changes for the
      new PSCI power domain topology and extended state-ID frameworks will be
      added incrementally to these files. This incremental approach will
      aid in review and in understanding the changes better. Once all the
      changes have been introduced, these files will replace the existing PSCI
      files.
