Commit 9ebdbbc43e5f ("arm: armv8: invalidate dcache entries on
dcache_enable") broke Apple Silicon machines in certain scenarios.
If the MMU is currently not enabled we need to flush the TLB
before we enable it to prevent stale TLB entries from becoming
active again. So move the __asm_invalidate_tlb_all() back
immediately before the mmu_setup() call.

Historically, when we have an appended device tree and also our
resulting binary will contain the BSS section, we have ensured that
everything will be where it's expected to be by declaring that the BSS
is overlayed with a symbol matches the end of the port of the ELF binary
that is objcopy'd to the binary we concatenate with. This in turn means
that the logic to generate a "pad" file, which is the size found in the
__bss_size symbol, will be correct and then we can concatenate the
device tree and it will begin at __bss_size at run time.
With commit 5ffc1dcc26d3 ("arm: Remove rel.dyn from SPL linker scripts")
we removed this overlay as part of trying to ensure that we met both the
requirements of the device tree to be 8 byte aligned as well as that our
logic to generate the -pad file would match what ended up in the
resulting binary. While it was correct to remove an unused section it
did not solve ultimately solve the problem for all cases.
To really fix the problem, we need to do two things. First, our final
section prior to _image_binary_end must be 8 byte aligned (for the case
of having a separate BSS and so our appended DTB exists at this
location). This cannot be '.binman_sym_table' as it may be empty, and in
turn the ELF type would be NOBITS and so not copied with objcopy. The
__u_boot_list section will never be empty, so it is our final section,
and ends with a '. = ALIGN(8)' statement. Second, as this is the end of
our copied data it is safe to declare that the BSS starts here, so use
the OVERLAY keyword to place the BSS here.

With commit 0535e46d55d7 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version
v1.7.2-35-g52f07dcca47c") it is now a fatal error to U-Boot if our
device tree is not 8-byte aligned. In commit 85f586035d75 ("ARM: OMAP2+:
Pad SPL binary to 8-byte alignment before DTB") Beleswar Padhi explains
that we must have ALIGN(x) statements inside of a section to ensure that
padding is included and not simply that the linker address counter is
incremented. To that end, this patch:
- Expands some linker sections to be more readable when adding a second
statement to the section.
- Aligns the final section before _end (for U-Boot) or
_image_binary_end or __bss_end (for xPL phases) by 8-bytes by adding
'. = ALIGN(8);' to the final section before the symbol.
- Ensure that we do have alignment by adding an ASSERT so that when not
aligned we fail to link (and explain why).
- Remove now-spurious '. = ALIGN(x);' statements that were intended to
provide the above alignments.

Some processor families use a generic device tree, and rely on u-boot

then modified to offline non-existent cores when running on an 8-core

However, the cooling maps still contain references to the non-existent
core phandles, resulting in:

In devices where the U-Boot is used as a secondary bootloader, we rely
on the device's primary bootloader to implement CNTFRQ_EL0. However,
this reliance may lead to a non-functional timer in broken firmware.
For instance, some versions of Samsung's S-Boot don't implement it. It's
also not possible to set it in the U-Boot, because it's booted in a lower
exception level. CNTFRQ_EL0 is reported to be 0.
Use gd->arch.timer_rate_hz to override the queried value if set. This
setting needs to be done in the board file, preferrably in timer_init().
This feature is present only when the CONFIG_ARMV8_CNTFRQ_BROKEN is
enabled.

For armv8, U-Boot uses a static map defined as 'mem_map' for configuring
the MMU's page tables, done by mmu_setup.
Though this works well for simpler platforms, it makes creating runtime
carveouts by modifying the static array at runtime exceedingly complex
like in mach-snapdragon/board.c.
Creation of such carveouts are much better handled by APIs such as
mmu_change_region_attr once the page tables are configured. Usually such
carveouts are configured via the device-tree's reserved-memory node
which provides the address and size for the carveout.
Therefore this patch adds mmu_unmap_reserved_mem which acts as a wrapper
over mmu_change_region_attr, helping unmap a reserved-memory region.

For armv8, U-Boot uses a static map defined as 'mem_map' for configuring
the MMU as part of mmu_setup.
But since the exact configuration of memory banks might not be known at
build time, many platforms such as imx9, versal2 etc. utilize
gd->bd->bi_dram to configure the static map at runtime.
Therefore this patch adds a new API mem_map_from_dram_banks that
modifies the static map in a similar way. Allowing the caller to map all
dram banks by just passing the index to last entry in their mem_map and
it's length.

In dcache_enable, currently the dcache entries are only invalidated when
the MMU is not enabled. This causes issues when dcache_enable is called
with the MMU already configured, in such cases the existing dcache
entries are not flushed which might result in un-expected behavior.
This patch invalidates the cache entries on every call of dcache_enable
before enabling dcache (by setting CR_C). This makes dcache_enable

The Allwinner A100 SoC has been around for a while, mostly on cheap
tablets, but didn't generate much interest in the community so far.
There were some efforts by two Allwinner employees in 2020, which led
to basic upstream Linux support for that SoC, although this momentum
dried up pretty quickly, leaving a lot of peripherals unsupported.
The A100 was silently replaced with the seemingly identical Allwinner
A133, which is reportedly a better bin of the A100. So far we assume
that both are compatible from a software perspective. There are some
more devices with the A133 out there now, so people are working on
filling the gaps, and adding U-Boot (and TF-A) support.
Based on the just added pinctrl, clock and DRAM support, this adds the
missing bits, mostly addresses and values for the SPL.
The A133 seems to be an predecessor to the H6, so we can share a lot of
code with that (and the H616 code), and just need to adjust some details.

Thanks for Jernej's JTAG debugging effort, it turns out that the BROM
expects SP_IRQ to be saved and restored, when we want to enter back into
FEL after the SPL's AArch64 stint.
Save and restore SP_IRQ as part of the FEL state handling. The banked
MRS/MSR access to SP_IRQ, without actually being in IRQ mode, was
introduced with the ARMv7 virtualisation extensions. The Arm Cortex-A8
cores used in the A10/A13s or older F1C100s SoCs would not support that,
but this code here is purely in the ARMv8/AArch64 code path, so it's
safe to use unconditionally.

To be able to return to the BootROM FEL USB debug code, we must restore
the core's state as accurately as possible after the SPL has been run.
Since the BootROM runs in AArch32, but the SPL uses AArch64, this requires
a core reset, which clears the core's state.
So far we were saving and restoring the required registers like SCTLR
and VBAR, but could ignore the interrupt controller's state (GICC), since
that lives in MMIO registers, unaffected by a core reset.
Newer Allwinner SoCs now feature a GICv3 interrupt controller, which keeps
some GIC state in architected system registers, and those are cleared
when we switch back to AArch32.
To enable FEL operation on the Allwinner A523 SoC,
Add AArch32 assembly code to save and restore the ICC_PMR and ICC_IGRPEN1
system registers. The other GICv3 sysregs are either not relevant for the
BROM operation, or haven't been changed from their reset defaults by the
BROM anyway.
This enables FEL operation on the Allwinner A523 family of SoCs.

We currently set both and print both PXN and UXN bits when removing
execution for pages. This happens even in the existing per platform
definitions of 'struct mm_region'.
That's not entirely correct though. For stage-1 translations, if a
platform runs on a translation regime with a single privilege level or the
the translation regime supports two privilege levels and we are not
in EL1&0 with HCR_EL2.{NV, NV1} = {1, 1} only BIT54 (XN) is needed
and BIT53(PXN) is reserved 0.
Currently we support Non-Secure EL2, Non-secure EL2&0 and Non-secure
EL1&0.
We already have get_effective_el() which returns 1 if we are
- Running in EL1 so we assume an EL1 translation regime but without
checking HCR_EL2.{NV, NV1} != {1,1}
- Running in EL2 with HCR_EL2.E2H = 1
The only problem with the above is that if we are in EL1&0 and
HCR_EL2.{NV1, NV} == {1, 1}, then
- Bit[54] holds the PXN instead of the UXN
- The Effective value of UXN is 0
- Bit[53] is RES0
So let's re-use that function and set PXN only when we are in
and EL[2|1]&0 translation regime.

To return a 64-bit Allwinner chip back to the 32-bit BootROM code, we
have some embedded AArch32 code that restores the CPU state, before
branching back to the BootROM. At the moment the pointer to the buffer
with that state is located *after* the code, which makes the PC relative
code fragile: adding or removing instructions will change the distance
to that pointer variable.
The "new" Allwinner A523 SoC requires more state to be restored (GICv3
system registers), but we must do that *only* on that SoC. Conditional
compilation sounds like the easiest solution, but would mean that the
distance to that pointer would change.
Solve this rather easily by moving the pointer to the *front* of the
code: we load that pointer in the first instruction, so the distance
would always stay the same. Later in the code we won't need PC relative
addressing anymore, so this code can grow or shrink easily, for instance
due to conditional compilation.

Upcoming patches are switching the memory mappings to RW, RO, RX
after the U-Boot binary and its data are relocated. Add
annotations in the linker scripts to and mark text, data, rodata
sections and align them to a page boundary.
It's worth noting that .efi_runtime memory permissions are left
untouched for now. There's two problems with EFI currently.
The first problem is that we bundle data, rodata and text in a single
.efi_runtime section which also must be close to .text for now.
As a result we also dont change the permissions for anything contained
in CPUDIR/start.o. In order to fix that we have to decoule .text_rest,
.text and .efi_runtime and have the runtime services on their own
section with proper memory permission annotations (efi_rodata etc).
The efi runtime regions (.efi_runtime_rel) can be relocated by the OS when
the latter is calling SetVirtualAddressMap. Which means we have to
configure those pages as RX for U-Boot but convert them to RWX just before
ExitBootServices. It also needs extra code in efi_tuntime relocation
code since R_AARCH64_NONE are emitted as well if we page align the
section.
Due to the above ignore EFI for now and fix it later once we have the
rest in place.

Introduce a new symbol in the beginning of .data section in

Previously, the code would rely on calculating the start of
the .data section address via data size, however, we observed
that the data size does not really reflect the SPL mapped
addresses.
In our case, the binman_sym section size was not included in
the data size, which will result in a wrong address for the
.data start section, which prevents us from properly saving

This approach skips the calculation for the starting address
of the .data section, and instead just defines the beginning
address of the .data section and calling the symbol as needed,

Usually ARMv8 platforms allow unaligned access for Normal memory. But
some chips might not allow it by default, having SCTLR.A bit set to 1
before U-Boot execution. One such example is Exynos850 SoC. As
allow_unaligned() is not implemented for ARMv8 at the moment, its __weak
implementation is used, which does nothing. That might lead to unaligned
access abort, for example when running EFI selftest. Fix that by
implementing allow_unaligned() for ARMv8.
The issue was found when running EFI selftest on E850-96 board
(Exynos850 based):
=> bootefi selftest $fdtcontroladdr
...
Executing 'HII database protocols'
"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000021, far 0xbaac0991
...
resetting ...
Unaligned abort happens in u16_strnlen(), which is called from
efi_hii_sibt_string_ucs2_block_next():
u16_strlen(blk->string_text)
where 'blk' type is struct efi_hii_sibt_string_ucs2_block. Because this
struct is packed, doing "->string_text" makes 'blk' address incremented
by 1 byte, which makes it unaligned. Although allow_unaligned() was
called in efi_init_early() before EFI selftest execution, it wasn't
implemented for ARMv8 CPUs, so data abort happened.

'ACPI Multi-processor Startup for ARM Platforms', also referred to as
'ACPI parking protocol'.
The ACPI parking protocol works similar to the spin-table mechanism, but
the specification also covers lots of shortcomings of the spin-table
implementations.
Every CPU defined in the ACPI MADT table has it's own 4K page where the
spinloop code and the OS mailbox resides. When selected the U-Boot board
code must make sure that the secondary CPUs enter u-boot after relocation
as well, so that they can enter the spinloop code residing in the ACPI
parking protocol pages.
The OS will then write to the mailbox and generate an IPI to release the
CPUs from the spinloop code.
For now it's only implemented on ARMv8, but can easily be extended to
other platforms, like ARMv7.

The EFI memory allocations are now being done through the LMB module,
and hence the memory map is maintained by the LMB module. Use the
lmb_arch_add_memory() API function to add the usable RAM memory to the
LMB's memory map.

Simon Glass <[email protected]> says:
When the SPL build-phase was first created it was designed to solve a
particular problem (the need to init SDRAM so that U-Boot proper could
be loaded). It has since expanded to become an important part of U-Boot,
with three phases now present: TPL, VPL and SPL
Due to this history, the term 'SPL' is used to mean both a particular
phase (the one before U-Boot proper) and all the non-proper phases.
This has become confusing.
For a similar reason CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is set to 'y' for all 'SPL'
phases, not just SPL. So code which can only be compiled for actual SPL,
for example, must use something like this:
#if defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) && !defined(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD)
In Makefiles we have similar issues. SPL_ has been used as a variable
which expands to either SPL_ or nothing, to chose between options like
CONFIG_BLK and CONFIG_SPL_BLK. When TPL appeared, a new SPL_TPL variable
was created which expanded to 'SPL_', 'TPL_' or nothing. Later it was
updated to support 'VPL_' as well.
This series starts a change in terminology and usage to resolve the
above issues:
- The word 'xPL' is used instead of 'SPL' to mean a non-proper build
- A new CONFIG_XPL_BUILD define indicates that the current build is an
'xPL' build
- The existing CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is changed to mean SPL; it is not now
defined for TPL and VPL phases
- The existing SPL_ Makefile variable is renamed to SPL_
- The existing SPL_TPL Makefile variable is renamed to PHASE_
It should be noted that xpl_phase() can generally be used instead of
the above CONFIGs without a code-space or run-time penalty.
This series does not attempt to convert all of U-Boot to use this new
terminology but it makes a start. In particular, renaming spl.h and
common/spl seems like a bridge too far at this point.
The series is fully bisectable. It has also been checked to ensure there
are no code-size changes on any commit.

Use PHASE_ as the symbol to select a particular XPL build. This means
that SPL_TPL_ is no-longer set.
Update the comment in bootstage to refer to this symbol, instead of
SPL_
