2021-11-22docs(changelog): generate changelogManish V Badarkhe
For future reference, this changelog was generated with the following command: npm run release -- --skip.commit --skip.tag --release-as 2.6.0 Change-Id: Idf6be5c3be15ddfdb1d32fafb9e0e4b399b269f3 Signed-off-by: Chris Kay <chris.kay@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Manish V Badarkhe <Manish.Badarkhe@arm.com>
2021-11-17build(docs): introduce release scriptChris Kay
This change introduces a new NPM run script to automatically generate the release changelog, as well as bump version numbers across the code-base and create the release tag. This script runs [Standard Version] to execute this, which is a tool designed around automating substantial parts of the release process. This can be done by running: npm run release -- [<standard-version args>] Standard Version expects the project to adhere to the [Semantic Versioning] convention which TF-A does not, so you may need to specify the version manually, e.g.: npm run release -- --release-as 2.6.0 Individual steps of the release process may also be skipped at-will, which may be necessary when, for example, tweaking the changelog: npm run release -- --skip.commit --skip.tag Standard Version is configured by the `.versionrc.js` file, which contains information about the Conventional Commits types and scopes used by the project, and how they map to the changelog. To maintain continuity with the existing changelog style - at least to the extent possible in the move from manual to automatic creation - a customized changelog template has been introduced, based on the Conventional Commits template provided by Standard Version. This template package extends the Conventional Commits template package by introducing support for parsing the Conventional Commits scopes into changelog sections, similarly to how they were previously organized.

2014-01-20psci: fix affinity level upgrade issueAchin Gupta
The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following example. 1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0 2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains powered up 3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible affinity level 4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not allow cluster shutdown This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions (ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count. The above issue is thus fixed as follows: 1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1 are initially powered on. 2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count. 3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains powered up as it has a non-zero reference count. 4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count. 5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.

2014-01-17Probe for GICv3 re-distributors on core bring-upHarry Liebel
The GICv3 distributor can have more ports than CPUs are available in the system. Probe all re-distributors and use the matching affinity levels as specified by each core and re-distributor to decide which re-distributor to use with which CPU core. If a core cannot be matched with a re-distributor, the core panics and is placed in an endless loop. Change-Id: Ie393cfe07c7449a2383959e3c968664882e18afc
2014-01-17Do not trap access to floating point registersHarry Liebel
Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current code. Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers. Change-Id: I9a03675f6387bbbee81a6f2c9ccf81150db03747

2014-01-17Do not let GCC use built-in functionsHarry Liebel
In order to reduce the software dependency on the compiler, the project is now compiled with the '-ffreestanding' flag. This is to prevent GCC from replacing functions with more optimised versions. An example is where GCC replaces a simple printf() with a puts(). Change-Id: I1973fe6957cd708e8432a0039af9d50e037bd884

2013-12-12Remove useless copies of meminfo structuresSandrine Bailleux
Platform setup code has to reserve some memory for storing the memory layout information. It is populated in early platform setup code. blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions used to return a copy of this structure. This patch modifies blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions so that they now directly return a pointer to their memory layout structure. It ensures that the memory layout returned by blx_get_sec_mem_layout() is always up-to-date and also avoids a useless copy of the meminfo structure. Also rename blx_get_sec_mem_layout() to blx_plat_sec_mem_layout() to make it clear those functions are platform specific. Change-Id: Ic7a6f9d6b6236b14865ab48a9f5eff545ce56551
2013-12-05psci: update docs with status of cpu_suspend apiAchin Gupta

2013-12-05remove check on non-secure entrypoint parameterAchin Gupta
In fvp_affinst_on/suspend, the non-secure entrypoint is always expected to lie in the DRAM. This check will not be valid if non-secure code executes directly out of flash e.g. a baremetal test. This patch removes this check. Change-Id: I0436e1138fc394aae8ff1ea59ebe38b46a440b61
2013-12-05psci: fix error due to a non zero context idAchin Gupta
In the previous psci implementation, the psci_afflvl_power_on_finish() function would run into an error condition if the value of the context id parameter in the cpu_on and cpu_suspend psci calls was != 0. The parameter was being restored as the return value of the affinity level 0 finisher function. A non zero context id would be treated as an error condition. This would prevent successful wake up of the cpu from a power down state. Also, the contents of the general purpose registers were not being cleared upon return to the non-secure world after a cpu power up. This could potentially allow the non-secure world to view secure data. This patch ensures that all general purpose registers are set to ~0 prior to the final eret that drops the execution to the non-secure world. The context id is used to initialize the general purpose register x0 prior to re-entry into the non-secure world and is no longer restored as a function return value. A platform helper (platform_get_stack()) has been introduced to facilitate this change. Change-Id: I2454911ffd75705d6aa8609a5d250d9b26fa097c
2013-12-05psci: fix values of incorrectly defined constantsAchin Gupta
This patch fixes the following constant values in the psci.h: 1. The affinity level shift value in the power_state parameter of the cpu_suspend psci call. The previous value was preventing shutdown of the affinity level 1. 2. The values used for affinity state constants (ON, OFF, ON_PENDING). They did not match the values expected to be returned by the affinity_info psci api as mentioned in the spec. 3. The state id shift value in the power_state parameter of the cpu_suspend psci call.

2013-12-05clear wakeup enable bit upon resuming from suspendAchin Gupta
The FVP specific code that gets called after a cpu has been physically powered on after having been turned off or suspended earlier does not clear the PWRC.PWKUPR.WEN bit. Not doing so causes problems if: a cpu is suspended, woken from suspend, powered down through a cpu_off call & receives a spurious interrupt. Since the WEN bit is not cleared after the cpu woke up from suspend, the spurious wakeup will power the cpu on. Since the cpu_off call clears the jump address in the mailbox this spurious wakeup will cause the cpu to crash. This patch fixes this issue by clearing the WEN bit whenever a cpu is powered up.

Also route external abort and SError interrupts to EL3, otherwise they will target EL1. Change-Id: I9c191d2d0dcfef85f265641c8460dfbb4d112092
2013-11-27fvp: Remove unnecessary initializersSandrine Bailleux
Global and static variables are expected to be initialised to zero by default. This is specified by the C99 standard. This patch removes some unnecessary initialisations of such variables. It fixes a compilation warning at the same time: plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces] section("tzfw_coherent_mem"))) = {0}; ^ plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: (near initialization for ‘ns_entry_info[0]’) [-Wmissing-braces] Note that GCC should not have emitted this warning message in the first place. The C Standard permits braces to be elided around subaggregate initializers.
