The values of CP15BEN, nTWI & nTWE bits in SCTLR_EL1 are architecturally
unknown if EL3 is AARCH64 whereas they reset to 1 if EL3 is AArch32. This
might be a compatibility break for legacy AArch32 normal world software if
these bits are not set to 1 when EL3 is AArch64. This patch enables the
CP15BEN, nTWI and nTWE bits in the SCTLR_EL1 if the lower non-secure EL is
AArch32. This unifies the SCTLR settings for lower non-secure EL in AArch32
mode for both AArch64 and AArch32 builds of Trusted Firmware.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.
Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:
- Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early
as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
before entering the PSCI SMC handler.
- Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after
normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
return to normal world.
- Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry
to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between
the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.
- Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby
or power up operation has completed.
To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:
(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).
The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

At present the `el3_entrypoint_common` macro uses `memcpy`
function defined in lib/stdlib/mem.c file, to copy data
from ROM to RAM for BL1. Depending on the compiler being
used the stack could potentially be used, in `memcpy`,
for storing the local variables. Since the stack is
initialized much later in `el3_entrypoint_common` it
may result in unknown behaviour.
This patch adds `memcpy4` function definition in assembly so
that it can be used before the stack is initialized and it
also replaces `memcpy` by `memcpy4` in `el3_entrypoint_common`
macro, to copy data from ROM to RAM for BL1.

This patch introduces a `psci_lib_args_t` structure which must be
passed into `psci_setup()` which is then used to initialize the PSCI
library. The `psci_lib_args_t` is a versioned structure so as to enable
compatibility checks during library initialization. Both BL31 and SP_MIN
are modified to use the new structure.
SP_MIN is also modified to add version string and build message as part
of its cold boot log just like the other BLs in Trusted Firmware.
NOTE: Please be aware that this patch modifies the prototype of
`psci_setup()`, which breaks compatibility with EL3 Runtime Firmware
(excluding BL31 and SP_MIN) integrated with the PSCI Library.

This patch adds common changes to support AArch32 state in
BL1 and BL2. Following are the changes:
* Added functions for disabling MMU from Secure state.
* Added AArch32 specific SMC function.
* Added semihosting support.
* Added reporting of unhandled exceptions.
* Added uniprocessor stack support.
* Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
`el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
instructions and the registers that are relevant to
AArch32 execution state.
* Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
`ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
platform has not overridden to disable it.

This patch fixes a bug in context management library when writing
SCTLR register during context initialization. The write happened
prior to initialization of the register context pointer. This
resulted in the compiler optimizing the write sequence from the
final binary and hence SCTLR remains uninitialized when
entering normal world. The bug is fixed by doing the
initialization of the register context pointer earlier in the
sequence.

Instead of hardcoding a level 1 table as the base translation level
table, let the code decide which level is the most appropriate given
the virtual address space size.
As the table granularity is 4 KB, this allows the code to select
level 0, 1 or 2 as base level for AArch64. This way, instead of
limiting the virtual address space width to 39-31 bits, widths of
48-25 bit can be used.
For AArch32, this change allows the code to select level 1 or 2
as the base translation level table and use virtual address space
width of 32-25 bits.
Also removed some unused definitions related to translation tables.

A PSCI CPU_SUSPEND request to place a CPU in retention states at power levels
higher than the CPU power level is subject to the same state coordination as a
power down state. A CPU could implement multiple retention states at a
particular power level. When exiting WFI, the non-CPU power levels may be in a
different retention state to what was initially requested, therefore each CPU
should refresh its view of the states of all power levels.
Previously, a CPU re-used the state of the power levels when it entered the
retention state. This patch fixes this issue by ensuring that a CPU upon exit
from retention reads the state of each power level afresh.

This patch adds a runtime check that psci_find_target_suspend_lvl()
returns a valid value back to psci_cpu_suspend() and psci_get_stat().
If it is invalid, BL31 will now panic.
Note that on the PSCI CPU suspend path there is already a debug
assertion checking the validity of the target composite power state,
which effectively also checks the validity of the target suspend level.
Therefore, the error condition would already be caught in debug builds,
but in a release build this assertion would be compiled out.
On the PSCI stat path, there is currently no debug assertion checking
the validity of the power state before using it as an index into
the power domain state array.
Although BL31 platforms ports are responsible for validating the
power state parameter, the security impact (i.e. an out-of-bounds
array access) of a potential platform port bug in this code would
be quite high, given that this parameter comes from an untrusted
source. The cost of checking this in runtime generic code is low.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
introduced are as follows:
* Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
cold and warm boots.
* Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
`bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
`psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.
* The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
header.
* The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
firmware using a different SMC context.
NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
be aware of this change in sequence.

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.

- Device memory is always marked as execute-never.
- Read-write normal memory is always marked as execute-never.

This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.
The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
indicates so.
`pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
the time-stamp.
`pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
`pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
`pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`
By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

This patch fixes the computation of the bitmask used to isolate
the level 1 field of a virtual address. The whole computation needs
to work on 64-bit values to produce the correct bitmask value.
XLAT_TABLE_ENTRIES_MASK being a C constant, it is a 32-bit value
so it needs to be extended to a 64-bit value before it takes part
in any other computation.
This patch fixes this bug by casting XLAT_TABLE_ENTRIES_MASK as
an unsigned long long.
Note that this bug doesn't manifest itself in practice because
address spaces larger than 39 bits are not yet supported in the

The only case in which regions can now overlap is if they are
identity mapped or they have the same virtual to physical address
offset (identity mapping is just a particular case of the latter).
They must overlap completely (i.e. one of them must be completely
inside the other one) and not cover the same area.
This allow future enhancements to the xlat_tables library without
having to support unnecessarily complex edge cases.
Outer regions are now sorted by mmap_add_region() before inner
regions with the same base virtual address for consistency: all
regions contained inside another one must be placed after the outer
one in the list.
If an inner region has the same attributes as the outer ones it will
be merged when creating the tables with init_xlation_table(). This
cannot be done as regions are added because there may be cases where
adding a region makes previously mergeable regions no longer
mergeable.
If the attributes of an inner region are different than the outer
region, new pages will be generated regardless of how "restrictive"
they are. For example, RO memory is more restrictive than RW. The
old implementation would give priority to RO if there is an overlap,
the new one doesn't.
NOTE: THIS IS THEORETICALLY A COMPATABILITY BREAK FOR PLATFORMS THAT
USE THE XLAT_TABLES LIBRARY IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY. PLEASE RAISE A
TF-ISSUE IF YOUR PLATFORM IS AFFECTED.

The AArch32 long descriptor format and the AArch64 descriptor format
correspond to each other which allows possible sharing of xlat_tables
library code between AArch64 and AArch32. This patch refactors the
xlat_tables library code to seperate the common functionality from
architecture specific code. Prior to this patch, all of the xlat_tables
library code were in `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file. The refactored code
is now in `lib/xlat_tables/` directory. The AArch64 specific programming
for xlat_tables is in `lib/xlat_tables/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` and the rest
of the code common to AArch64 and AArch32 is in
`lib/xlat_tables/xlat_tables_common.c`. Also the data types used in
xlat_tables library APIs are reworked to make it compatible between AArch64
and AArch32.
The `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file now includes the new xlat_tables
library files to retain compatibility for existing platform ports.
The macros related to xlat_tables library are also moved from
`include/lib/aarch64/arch.h` to the header `include/lib/xlat_tables.h`.

The assembler helper function `print_revision_warning` is used when a
CPU specific operation is enabled in the debug build (e.g. an errata
workaround) but doesn't apply to the executing CPU's revision/part number.
However, in some cases the system integrator may want a single binary to
support multiple platforms with different IP versions, only some of which
contain a specific erratum. In this case, the warning can be emitted very
frequently when CPUs are being powered on/off.
This patch modifies this warning print behaviour so that it is emitted only
when LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE. The `debug.h` header file now contains
guard macros so that it can be included in assembly code.
Change-Id: Ic6e7a07f128dcdb8498a5bfdae920a8feeea1345
The current translation table code maps in a series of regions, zeroing
the unmapped table entries before and in between the mapped regions. It
doesn't, however, zero the unmapped entries after the last mapped
region, leaving those entries at whatever value that memory has
initially.
This is bad because those values can look like valid translation table
entries, pointing to valid physical addresses. The CPU is allowed to do
speculative reads from any such addresses. If the addresses point to
device memory, the results can be unpredictable.
This patch zeroes the translation table entries following the last
mapped region, ensuring all table entries are either valid or zero
(invalid).
In addition, it limits the value of ADDR_SPACE_SIZE to those allowed by
the architecture and supported by the current code (see D4.2.5 in the
Architecture Reference Manual). This simplifies this patch a lot and
ensures existing code doesn't do unexpected things.
Change-Id: Ic28b6c3f89d73ef58fa80319a9466bb2c7131c21
At the moment, the memory translation library allows to create memory
mappings of 2 types:
- Device nGnRE memory (named MT_DEVICE in the library);
- Normal, Inner Write-back non-transient, Outer Write-back
non-transient memory (named MT_MEMORY in the library).
As a consequence, the library code treats the memory type field as a
boolean: everything that is not device memory is normal memory and
vice-versa.
In reality, the ARMv8 architecture allows up to 8 types of memory to
be used at a single time for a given exception level. This patch
reworks the memory attributes such that the memory type is now defined
as an integer ranging from 0 to 7 instead of a boolean. This makes it
possible to extend the list of memory types supported by the memory
translation library.
The priority system dictating memory attributes for overlapping
memory regions has been extended to cope with these changes but the
algorithm at its core has been preserved. When a memory region is
re-mapped with different memory attributes, the memory translation
library examines the former attributes and updates them only if
the new attributes create a more restrictive mapping. This behaviour
is unchanged, only the manipulation of the value has been modified
to cope with the new format.
This patch also introduces a new type of memory mapping in the memory
translation library: MT_NON_CACHEABLE, meaning Normal, Inner
Non-cacheable, Outer Non-cacheable memory. This can be useful to map
a non-cacheable memory region, such as a DMA buffer for example.
The rules around the Execute-Never (XN) bit in a translation table
for an MT_NON_CACHEABLE memory mapping have been aligned on the rules
used for MT_MEMORY mappings:
- If the memory is read-only then it is also executable (XN = 0);
- If the memory is read-write then it is not executable (XN = 1).
The shareability field for MT_NON_CACHEABLE mappings is always set as
'Outer-Shareable'. Note that this is not strictly needed since
shareability is only relevant if the memory is a Normal Cacheable
memory type, but this is to align with the existing device memory
mappings setup. All Device and Normal Non-cacheable memory regions
are always treated as Outer Shareable, regardless of the translation
table shareability attributes.
This patch also removes the 'ATTR_SO' and 'ATTR_SO_INDEX' #defines.
They were introduced to map memory as Device nGnRnE (formerly called
"Strongly-Ordered" memory in the ARMv7 architecture) but were not
used anywhere in the code base. Removing them avoids any confusion
about the memory types supported by the library.
Upstream platforms do not currently use the MT_NON_CACHEABLE memory
type.
NOTE: THIS CHANGE IS SOURCE COMPATIBLE BUT PLATFORMS THAT RELY ON THE
BINARY VALUES OF `mmap_attr_t` or the `attr` argument of
`mmap_add_region()` MAY BE BROKEN.

All C files of stdlib were included into std.c, which was the file
that the Makefile actually compiled. This is a poor way of compiling
all the files and, while it may work fine most times, it's
discouraged.
In this particular case, each C file included its own headers, which
were later included into std.c. For example, this caused problems
because a duplicated typedef of u_short in both subr_prf.c and
types.h. While that may require an issue on its own, this kind of
problems are avoided if all C files are as independent as possible.

In the Cortex-A35/A53/A57 CPUs library code, some of the CPU specific
reset operations are skipped if they have already been applied in a
previous invocation of the reset handler. This precaution is not
required, as all these operations can be reapplied safely.
This patch removes the unneeded test-before-set instructions in
the reset handler for these CPUs.

The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.
This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
enabled by default.
The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
case as well.

The debug prints used to debug translation table setup in xlat_tables.c
used the `printf()` standard library function instead of the stack
optimized `tf_printf()` API. DEBUG_XLAT_TABLE option was used to enable
debug logs within xlat_tables.c and it configured a much larger stack
size for the platform in case it was enabled. This patch modifies these
debug prints within xlat_tables.c to use tf_printf() and modifies the format
specifiers to be compatible with tf_printf(). The debug prints are now enabled
if the VERBOSE prints are enabled in Trusted Firmware via LOG_LEVEL build
option.
The much larger stack size definition when DEBUG_XLAT_TABLE is defined
is no longer required and the platform ports are modified to remove this
stack size definition.

Migrate all direct usage of __attribute__ to usage of their
corresponding macros from cdefs.h.
e.g.:
- __attribute__((unused)) -> __unused

This patch adds support for ARM Cortex-A35 processor in the CPU
specific framework, as described in the Cortex-A35 TRM (r0p0).

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.
