* ARM: virtualization: replace verbose license with SPDX identifierAndre Przywara2013-10-07-18/+2
| | | | | | | | | The original creation of arch/arm/cpu/armv7/{virt-v7.c,nonsec_virt.S} predates the SPDX conversion, so the original elaborate license statements sneaked in. Fix this by replacing them with the proper abbreviation. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@linaro.org>
* ARM: extend non-secure switch to also go into HYP modeAndre Przywara2013-10-03-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the KVM and XEN hypervisors to be usable, we need to enter the kernel in HYP mode. Now that we already are in non-secure state, HYP mode switching is within short reach. While doing the non-secure switch, we have to enable the HVC instruction and setup the HYP mode HVBAR (while still secure). The actual switch is done by dropping back from a HYP mode handler without actually leaving HYP mode, so we introduce a new handler routine in our new secure exception vector table. In the assembly switching routine we save and restore the banked LR and SP registers around the hypercall to do the actual HYP mode switch. The C routine first checks whether we are in HYP mode already and also whether the virtualization extensions are available. It also checks whether the HYP mode switch was finally successful. The bootm command part only calls the new function after the non-secure switch. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@linaro.org>
* ARM: add SMP support for non-secure switchAndre Przywara2013-10-03-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the non-secure switch is only done for the boot processor. To enable full SMP support, we have to switch all secondary cores into non-secure state also. So we add an entry point for secondary CPUs coming out of low-power state and make sure we put them into WFI again after having switched to non-secure state. For this we acknowledge and EOI the wake-up IPI, then go into WFI. Once being kicked out of it later, we sanity check that the start address has actually been changed (since another attempt to switch to non-secure would block the core) and jump to the new address. The actual CPU kick is done by sending an inter-processor interrupt via the GIC to all CPU interfaces except the requesting processor. The secondary cores will then setup their respective GIC CPU interface. While this approach is pretty universal across several ARMv7 boards, we make this function weak in case someone needs to tweak this for a specific board. The way of setting the secondary's start address is board specific, but mostly different only in the actual SMP pen address, so we also provide a weak default implementation and just depend on the proper address to be set in the config file.

* ARM: add C function to switch to non-secure stateAndre Przywara2013-10-03-0/+122
The core specific part of the work is done in the assembly routine in nonsec_virt.S, introduced with the previous patch, but for the full glory we need to setup the GIC distributor interface once for the whole system, which is done in C here. The routine is placed in arch/arm/cpu/armv7 to allow easy access from other ARMv7 boards. We check the availability of the security extensions first. Since we need a safe way to access the GIC, we use the PERIPHBASE registers on Cortex-A15 and A7 CPUs and do some sanity checks. Boards not implementing the CBAR can override this value via a configuration file variable. Then we actually do the GIC enablement: a) enable the GIC distributor, both for non-secure and secure state (GICD_CTLR[1:0] = 11b) b) allow all interrupts to be handled from non-secure state (GICD_IGROUPRn = 0xFFFFFFFF) The core specific GIC setup is then done in the assembly routine.
