Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems. This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces MMU-enabling without using stacks. Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same time. NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2, disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.

Previous patches added frameworks for handling RAS errors. This patch introduces features that the platform can use to enumerate and iterate RAS nodes: - The REGISTER_RAS_NODES() can be used to expose an array of ras_node_info_t structures. Each ras_node_info_t describes a RAS node, along with handlers for probing the node for error, and if did record an error, another handler to handle it. - The macro for_each_ras_node() can be used to iterate over the registered RAS nodes, probe for, and handle any errors. The common platform EA handler has been amended using error handling primitives introduced by both this and previous patches.

At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to handle External Aborts routed to EL3. With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition of the said function that prints out a message and just panics. In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1. Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to compilation; this patch fixes that too.

Since commit 031dbb12 ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"), it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family between aarch32 and aarch64. For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32 and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64. Likewise, uintptr_t is defined as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64. A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code. One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough for both architectures. For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type, like this: printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val); Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>, like this: printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val); But, both would make the code ugly. The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for all architectures. The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have been unified into int-ll64, like follows: typedef signed char int8_t; typedef unsigned char uint8_t; typedef signed short int16_t; typedef unsigned short uint16_t; typedef signed int int32_t; typedef unsigned int uint32_t; typedef signed long long int64_t; typedef unsigned long long uint64_t; [ Linux commit: 0c79a8e29b5fcbcbfd611daf9d500cfad8370fcf ] This gets along with the codebase shared between 32 bit and 64 bit, with the data model called ILP32, LP64, respectively. The width for primitive types is defined as follows: ILP32 LP64 int 32 32 long 32 64 long long 64 64 pointer 32 64 'long long' is 64 bit for both, so it is used for defining uint64_t. 'long' has the same width as pointer, so for uintptr_t. We still need an ifdef conditional for (s)size_t. All 64 bit architectures use "unsigned long" size_t, and most 32 bit architectures use "unsigned int" size_t. H8/300, S/390 are known as exceptions; they use "unsigned long" size_t despite their architecture is 32 bit. One idea for simplification might be to define size_t as 'unsigned long' across architectures, then forbid the use of "%z" string format. However, this would cause a distortion between size_t and sizeof() operator. We have unknowledge about the native type of sizeof(), so we need a guess of it anyway. I want the following formula to always return 1: __builtin_types_compatible_p(size_t, typeof(sizeof(int))) Fortunately, ARM is probably a majority case. As far as I know, all 32 bit ARM compilers use "unsigned int" size_t. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Some generic compatibility functions emit deprecated declaration warnings even when platforms do not use the deprecated functions directly. This can be confusing. Suppress these warnings by using: `#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"` Also emit a runtime warning if the weak plat/common implemntation of plat_get_syscnt_freq2() is used, as this implies the platform has not migrated from plat_get_syscnt_freq(). The deprecated declaration warnings only help detect when platforms are calling deprecated functions, not when they are defining deprecated functions.

This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file. Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise the other registers are available for platform use.

When we add a new callback, we need to duplicate fallbacks among plat/common/{aarch32,aarch64}/platform_helpers.S This is tedious. I created a new C file, then moved 3 functions: plat_error_handler bl2_plat_preload_setup plat_try_next_boot_source They are called from C, so I do not see a good reason to implement them in assembly.

This patch expands the weak stubs for the plat_crash_console_xxx functions in common platform code to use the new console API for crash output. This should make crash console output "just work" for most cases without the need for the platform to explicitly set up a crash console. For cases where the normal console framework doesn't work (e.g. very early crashes, before the platform can register any consoles), platforms are still able to override the functions just like before. This feature requires the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag to work. For builds which don't have it set, this patch has no practical effect.

This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init), consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register()) that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list. The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API, which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully be removed at some point in the future. The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane default upon registration that can be overridden with the console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism to this framework will be added with a later patch. This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported to AArch32 as well if desired.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which are done as part of this patch are: * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to enable reuse. * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture specific folder. * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility. Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles. NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to type usage are as listed below: * Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long. * Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit. * Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on whether AArch64 or AArch32. * Use generic C types where-ever possible. In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files related to upcoming feature development have been reworked. Change-Id: I9f8c78347c5a52ba7027ff389791f1dad63ee5f8

It is not ideal for BL31 to continue to use boot console at runtime which could be potentially uninitialized. This patch introduces a new optional platform porting API `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` which allows the platform to perform any BL31 runtime setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot. The default weak implementation of this function will invoke `console_uninit()` which will suppress any BL31 runtime logs. On the ARM Standard platforms, there is an anomaly that the boot console will be reinitialized on resumption from system suspend in `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`. This will be resolved in the following patch. NOTE: The default weak definition of `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` disables the BL31 console. To print the BL31 runtime messages, platforms must override this API and initialize a runtime console. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#328 Change-Id: Ibaf8346fcceb447fe1a5674094c9f8eb4c09ac4a

This patch adds an optional API to the platform port: void plat_error_handler(int err) __dead2; The platform error handler is called when there is a specific error condition after which Trusted Firmware cannot continue. While panic() simply prints the crash report (if enabled) and spins, the platform error handler can be used to hand control over to the platform port so it can perform specific bookeeping or post-error actions (for example, reset the system). This function must not return. The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from errno.h. Possible errors reported by the generic code are: -EAUTH : a certificate or image could not be authenticated (when Trusted Board Boot is enabled) -ENOENT : the requested image or certificate could not be found or an IO error was detected -ENOMEM : resources exhausted. Trusted Firmware does not use dynamic memory, so this error is usually an indication of an incorrect array size A default weak implementation of this function has been provided. It simply implements an infinite loop. Change-Id: Iffaf9eee82d037da6caa43b3aed51df555e597a3

This patch defines deprecated platform APIs to enable Trusted Firmware components like Secure Payload and their dispatchers(SPD) to continue to build and run when platform compatibility is disabled. This decouples the migration of platform ports to the new platform API from SPD and enables them to be migrated independently. The deprecated platform APIs defined in this patch are : platform_get_core_pos(), platform_get_stack() and platform_set_stack(). The patch also deprecates MPIDR based context management helpers like cm_get_context_by_mpidr(), cm_set_context_by_mpidr() and cm_init_context(). A mechanism to deprecate APIs and identify callers of these APIs during build is introduced, which is controlled by the build flag WARN_DEPRECATED. If WARN_DEPRECATED is defined to 1, the users of the deprecated APIs will be flagged either as a link error for assembly files or compile time warning for C files during build.

This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The corresponding makefiles are modified as required for the new implementation. The platform.h header file is also is switched to the new one as required by the new frameworks. The build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT defaults to 1 to enable compatibility layer which let the existing platform ports to continue to build and run with minimal changes. The default weak implementation of platform_get_core_pos() is now removed from platform_helpers.S and is provided by the compatibility layer. Note: The Secure Payloads and their dispatchers still use the old platform and framework APIs and hence it is expected that the ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT build flag will remain enabled in subsequent patch. The compatibility for SPDs using the older APIs on platforms migrated to the new APIs will be added in the following patch. Change-Id: I18c51b3a085b564aa05fdd98d11c9f3335712719

The new PSCI topology framework and PSCI extended State framework introduces a breaking change in the platform port APIs. To ease the migration of the platform ports to the new porting interface, a compatibility layer is introduced which essentially defines the new platform API in terms of the old API. The old PSCI helpers to retrieve the power-state, its associated fields and the highest coordinated physical OFF affinity level of a core are also implemented for compatibility. This allows the existing platform ports to work with the new PSCI framework without significant rework. This layer will be enabled by default once the switch to the new PSCI framework is done and is controlled by the build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT. Change-Id: I4b17cac3a4f3375910a36dba6b03d8f1700d07e3

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. Change-Id: I9d4123d97e179529802c1f589baaa4101759d80c

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.

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. Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#295 Change-Id: If8cb331b03d7f38fe7e3694d4de26f1075b278fc Signed-off-by: Kévin Petit <kevin.petit@arm.com>

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.

This patch adds an optional platform API (plat_reset_handler) which allows the platform to perform any actions immediately after a cold or warm reset e.g. implement errata workarounds. The function is called with MMU and caches turned off. This API is weakly defined and does nothing by default but can be overriden by a platform with a strong definition.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset (BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU) until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization. This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU. Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1. The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details (for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved to fvp_def.h. The porting guide has been updated accordingly. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#219 Change-Id: If675a1de8e8d25122b7fef147cb238d939f90b5e

This patch introduces platform APIs to initialise and print a character on a designated crash console. For the FVP platform, PL011_UART0 is the designated crash console. The platform porting guide is also updated to document the new APIs. Change-Id: I5e97d8762082e0c88c8c9bbb479353eac8f11a66

This patch removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated accessor function and some dead code which called the accessor function. It also updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using stacks allocated in coherent memory.

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to each exception level specific function responsible for enabling the MMU. At present only a single flag which indicates whether the data cache should also be enabled is implemented. Subsequent patches will use this flag when enabling the MMU in the warm boot paths.
