2014-05-06Move include and source files to logical locationsDan Handley
Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory under ./include. The only remaining system include directories not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the corresponding source files to match the include directory structure. Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used. Change-Id: Ie5ea6368ec5fad459f3e8a802ad129135527f0b3
2014-04-15Allocate single stacks for BL1 and BL2Andrew Thoelke
The BL images share common stack management code which provides one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2 just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform. This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where this has to be done in the firmware. The stack allocation source files are now included via platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support for each BL image. Each platform makefile must be updated when including this commit. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#76 Change-Id: Ia251f61b8148ffa73eae3f3711f57b1ffebfa632
2014-03-26Place assembler functions in separate sectionsAndrew Thoelke
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. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#80 Change-Id: I301937b630add292d2dec6d2561a7fcfa6fec690
2014-02-20Add exception vector guardsJeenu Viswambharan
This patch adds guards so that an exception vector exceeding 32 instructions will generate a compile-time error. This keeps the exception handlers in check from spilling over. Change-Id: I7aa56dd0071a333664e2814c656d3896032046fe
2014-02-17Add support for handling runtime service requestsJeenu Viswambharan
This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are inter-related. It does the following: 1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one 2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks. 3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context' structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL. 4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context' structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL 5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a runtime service Change-Id: I661797f834c0803d2c674d20f504df1b04c2b852 Co-authored-by: Achin Gupta <achin.gupta@arm.com>
2014-02-17Introduce new exception handling frameworkAchin Gupta
This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for: 1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones on the exception stack 2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit. SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers (x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly. Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change, the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches. Change-Id: Ice418686592990ff7a4260771e8d6676e6c8c5ef

2013-12-05rework general purpose registers save and restoreAchin Gupta
The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this structure. Change-Id: Ibf125bfdd62ba3a33e58c5f1d71f8c229720781c
