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.

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called
PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has
a programmable or fixed reset vector address.
If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the
platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
RESET_TO_BL31 option.
This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
simultaneously;
3) Run the CPU init code.
This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.
This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
different types of systems.
NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

There are couple of issues with how the interrupt routing framework in BL3_1
handles spurious interrupts.
1. In the macro 'handle_interrupt_exception', if a spurious interrupt is
detected by plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(), then execution jumps to
'interrupt_exit_\label'. This macro uses the el3_exit() function to return to
the original exception level. el3_exit() attempts to restore the SPSR_EL3 and
ELR_EL3 registers with values from the current CPU context. Since these
registers were not saved in this code path, it programs stale values into
these registers. This leads to unpredictable behaviour after the execution of
the ERET instruction.
2. When an interrupt is routed to EL3, it could be de-asserted before the
GICC_HPPIR is read in plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(). There could be
another interrupt pending at the same time e.g. a non-secure interrupt. Its
type will be returned instead of the original interrupt. This would result in
a call to get_interrupt_type_handler(). The firmware will panic if the
handler for this type of interrupt has not been registered.
This patch fixes the first problem by saving SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 early in the
'handle_interrupt_exception' macro, instead of only doing so once the validity
of the interrupt has been determined.
The second problem is fixed by returning execution back to the lower exception
level through the 'interrupt_exit_\label' label instead of treating it as an
error condition. The 'interrupt_error_\label' label has been removed since it is
no longer used.

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold
and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to
invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus.
This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function
which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled.
This change removes the need:
1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation.
2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND
call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.
This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.
Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.
The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

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.

The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not
been directly initiated by the normal world. This is to prevent the possibility
of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being

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.

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

This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the

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.

registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

This patch reworks the cold boot path across the BL1, BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 boot
loader stages to not use stacks allocated in coherent memory for early platform
setup and enabling the MMU. Stacks allocated in normal memory are used instead.
Attributes for stack memory change from nGnRnE when the MMU is disabled to
Normal WBWA Inner-shareable when the MMU and data cache are enabled. It is
possible for the CPU to read stale stack memory after the MMU is enabled from
another CPUs cache. Hence, it is unsafe to turn on the MMU and data cache while
using normal stacks when multiple CPUs are a part of the same coherency
domain. It is safe to do so in the cold boot path as only the primary cpu
executes it. The secondary cpus are in a quiescent state.
This patch does not remove the allocation of coherent stack memory. That is done
in a subsequent patch.

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.

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

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are

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.

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.

for each BL image.
Each platform makefile must be updated when including this
commit.

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 fixesARM-software/tf-issues#24

This reverts commit 1c297bf015
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.

This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
macro used to declare each function label.

Each ARM Trusted Firmware image should know in which EL it is running
and it should use the corresponding register directly instead of reading
currentEL and knowing which asm register to read/write
