      Optimize EL3 register state stored in cpu_context structure · fdfabec1
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in
      cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are:
      
        * cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable
          only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence
          it need not be saved to cpu_context.
      
        * cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced
          SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold
          and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to
          modify the access controls during normal execution and hence
          they are expected to remain static.

      Simplify management of SCTLR_EL3 and SCTLR_EL1 · ec3c1003
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch reworks the manner in which the M,A, C, SA, I, WXN & EE bits of
      SCTLR_EL3 & SCTLR_EL1 are managed. The EE bit is cleared immediately after reset
      in EL3. The I, A and SA bits are set next in EL3 and immediately upon entry in
      S-EL1. These bits are no longer managed in the blX_arch_setup() functions. They
      do not have to be saved and restored either. The M, WXN and optionally the C
      bit are set in the enable_mmu_elX() function. This is done during both the warm
      and cold boot paths.

      Remove coherent stack usage from the warm boot path · b51da821
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the
      warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent
      memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being
      powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from
      reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These
      changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2.
      
      The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved
      and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system
      registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

      Remove calling CPU mpidr from bakery lock API · 634ec6c2

      The bakery lock code currently expects the calling code to pass
      the MPIDR_EL1 of the current CPU.
      
      This is not always done correctly. Also the change to provide

      bakery lock code to obtain the MPIDR_EL1 directly.

      Correctly dimension the PSCI aff_map_node array · 6c0b45d1
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The array of affinity nodes is currently allocated for 32 entries
      with the PSCI_NUM_AFFS value defined in psci.h. This is not enough
      for large systems, and will substantially over allocate the array
      for small systems.
      
      This patch introduces an optional platform definition
      PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to platform_def.h. If defined this value is
      used for PSCI_NUM_AFFS, otherwise a value of two times the number
      of CPU cores is used.
      
      The FVP port defines PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to be 10 which saves
      nearly 1.5KB of memory.

      Eliminate psci_suspend_context array · 13ac44a5

      psci_suspend_context is an array of cache-line aligned structures
      containing the single power_state integer per cpu. This array is
      the only structure indexed by the aff_map_node.data integer.
      
      This patch saves 2KB of BL3-1 memory by placing the CPU
      power_state value directly in the aff_map_node structure. As a

      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.

      Dan Handley authored
      Previously, the enable_mmu_elX() functions were implicitly part of
      the platform porting layer since they were included by generic
      code. These functions have been placed behind 2 new platform
      functions, bl31_plat_enable_mmu() and bl32_plat_enable_mmu().
      These are weakly defined so that they can be optionally overridden
      by platform ports.
      
      Also, the enable_mmu_elX() functions have been moved to
      lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c for optional re-use by platform ports.
      These functions are tightly coupled with the translation table

      Use a vector table for TSP entrypoints · 399fb08f
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The TSP has a number of entrypoints used by the TSP on different
      occasions. These were provided to the TSPD as a table of function

      which is in TSP memory, in order to program the exception return

      accordingly reworks all use of the TSP_STATE_* states.
      
      It also allocates a flag bit to determine if the TSP is handling a
      standard SMC. If this flag is set then the TSP was interrupted due to
      non-secure or EL3 interupt depending upon the chosen routing
      model. Macros to get, set and clear this flag have been added as
      well. This flag will be used by subsequent patches.

      2. Remove meminfo_t and bl31_plat_params_t from all FVP BL3-x
      code as the images use link-time information to determine
      memory extents.
      
      meminfo_t is still used by common interface in BL1/BL2 for
      loading images

      Populate BL31 input parameters as per new spec · 4112bfa0
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch is based on spec published at
      https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/133
      
      It rearranges the bl31_args struct into
      bl31_params and bl31_plat_params which provide the
      information needed for Trusted firmware and platform
      specific data via x0 and x1
      
      On the FVP platform BL3-1 params and BL3-1 plat params
      and its constituents are stored at the start of TZDRAM.
      
      The information about memory availability and size for
      BL3-1, BL3-2 and BL3-3 is moved into platform specific data.

      Introduce macros to manipulate the SPSR · 23ff9baa
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch introduces macros (SPSR_64 and SPSR_32) to
      create a SPSR for both aarch32 and aarch64 execution
      states. These macros allow the user to set fields
      in the SPSR depending upon its format.
      The make_spsr() function which did not allow
      manipulation of all the fields in the aarch32 SPSR
      has been replaced by these new macros.

      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.

      Fix broken standby state implementation in PSCI · 317ba090
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch fixes the broken support for entry into standby states
      introduced under commit-id 'd118f9f8' (tf-issues#94). Upon exit from
      the platform defined standby state instead of returning to the caller
      of the SMC, execution would get stuck in the wfi instruction meant for
      entering a power down state. This patch ensures that exit from a
      standby state and entry into a power down state do not interfere with
      each other.

      fvp: Provide per-EL MMU setup functions · b793e431
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Instead of having a single version of the MMU setup functions for all
      bootloader images that can execute either in EL3 or in EL1, provide
      separate functions for EL1 and EL3. Each bootloader image can then
      call the appropriate version of these functions. The aim is to reduce
      the amount of code compiled in each BL image by embedding only what's
      needed (e.g. BL1 to embed only EL3 variants).

      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.

      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.
