Stefano Stabellini 80e2005373 xen: introduce CDF_directmap
This commit introduces a new arm-specific flag CDF_directmap to specify
that a domain should have its memory direct-map(guest physical address
== host physical address) at domain creation.

Also, add a directmap flag under struct arch_domain and use it to
reimplement is_domain_direct_mapped.

For now, direct-map is only available when statically allocated memory is
used for the domain, that is, "xen,static-mem" must be also defined in the
domain configuration.

Luca Fancellu a0ffee6b14 arm/docs: Clarify legacy DT bindings on UEFI
Since the introduction of UEFI boot for Xen, the legacy
compatible strings were not supported and the stub code
was checking only the presence of “multiboot,module” to
require the Xen UEFI configuration file or not.
The documentation was not updated to specify that behavior.

Add a phrase to docs/misc/arm/device-tree/booting.txt
to clarify it.

Luca Fancellu a1743fc3a9 arm/efi: Use dom0less configuration when using EFI boot
This patch introduces the support for dom0less configuration
when using UEFI boot on ARM, it permits the EFI boot to
continue if no dom0 kernel is specified but at least one domU
is found.

Introduce the new property "xen,uefi-binary" for device tree boot
module nodes that are subnode of "xen,domain" compatible nodes.
The property holds a string containing the file name of the
binary that shall be loaded by the uefi loader from the filesystem.

Introduce a new call efi_check_dt_boot(...) called during EFI boot
that checks for module to be loaded using device tree.
Architectures that don't support device tree don't have to
provide this function.

Update efi documentation about how to start a dom0less
setup using UEFI

Penny Zheng 41c031ff43 xen/arm: introduce domain on Static Allocation
Static Allocation refers to system or sub-system(domains) for which memory
areas are pre-defined by configuration using physical address ranges.

Those pre-defined memory, -- Static Memory, as parts of RAM reserved in the
beginning, shall never go to heap allocator or boot allocator for any use.

Memory can be statically allocated to a domain using the property "xen,static-
mem" defined in the domain configuration. The number of cells for the address
and the size must be defined using respectively the properties
"#xen,static-mem-address-cells" and "#xen,static-mem-size-cells".

The property 'memory' is still needed and should match the amount of memory
given to the guest. Currently, it either comes from static memory or lets Xen
allocate from heap. *Mixing* is not supported.

The static memory will be mapped in the guest at the usual guest memory
addresses (GUEST_RAM0_BASE, GUEST_RAM1_BASE) defined by
xen/include/public/arch-arm.h.

This patch introduces this new `xen,static-mem` feature, and also documents
and parses this new attribute at boot time.

This patch also introduces a new field "bool xen_domain" in "struct membank"
to tell whether the memory bank is reserved as the whole hardware resource,
or bind to a xen domain node, through "xen,static-mem"

On the affected Cortex-A76/Neoverse-N1 cores (r0p0 to r3p0),
if a virtual address for a cacheable mapping of a location is being
accessed by a core while another core is remapping the virtual
address to a new physical page using the recommended break-before-make
sequence, then under very rare circumstances TLBI+DSB completes before
a read using the translation being invalidated has been observed by
other observers. The workaround repeats the TLBI+DSB operation for all
the TLB flush operations. While this is stricly not necessary, we don't
want to take any risk.

CNTVCT_EL0 or CNTPCT_EL0 counter read in Cortex-A73 (all versions)
might return a wrong value when the counter crosses a 32bit boundary.

Until now, there is no case for Xen itself to access CNTVCT_EL0,
and it also should be the Guest OS's responsibility to deal with
this part.

But for CNTPCT, there exists several cases in Xen involving reading
CNTPCT, so a possible workaround is that performing the read twice,
and to return one or the other depending on whether a transition has
taken place.

Anthony PERARD f41eb7ba3e xen/arm: Configure early printk via Kconfig
At the moment, early printk can only be configured on the make command
line. It is not very handy because a user has to remove the option
everytime it is using another command other than compiling the
hypervisor.

Furthermore, early printk is one of the few odds one that are not
using Kconfig.

So this is about time to move it to Kconfig.

The new kconfigs options allow a user to eather select a UART driver
to use at boot time, and set the parameters, or it is still possible
to select a platform which will set the parameters.

If CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is present in the environment or on the make
command line, make will return an error.

Stefano Stabellini ce75973a27 arm,smmu: backport "Disable stalling faults for all endpoints"
Backport commit 3714ce1d6655098ee69ede632883e5874d67e4ab
"iommu/arm-smmu: Disable stalling faults for all endpoints" from the
Linux kernel. This works-around Erratum #842869.

Original commit message:

  Enabling stalling faults can result in hardware deadlock on poorly
  designed systems, particularly those with a PCI root complex upstream of
  the SMMU.

  Although it's not really Linux's job to save hardware integrators from
  their own misfortune, it *is* our job to stop userspace (e.g. VFIO
  clients) from hosing the system for everybody else, even if they might
  already be required to have elevated privileges.

  Given that the fault handling code currently executes entirely in IRQ
  context, there is nothing that can sensibly be done to recover from
  things like page faults anyway, so let's rip this code out for now and
  avoid the potential for deadlock.

Use the alternative framework to enable the workaround only on affected

Whilst a guest could trigger the deadlock, it can be broken when the
processor is receiving an interrupt. As the Xen scheduler will always setup
a timer (firing to every 1ms to 300ms depending on the running time
slice) on each processor, the deadlock would last only few milliseconds
and only affects the guest time slice.

Therefore a malicious guest could only hurt itself. Note that all the
guests should implement/enable the workaround for the affected cores.

Whilst the errata affect cache instructions issued at any exception

always be at the address used by the data cache instructions. Note that
this address could point to a shared memory between guests and the

Dirk Behme 7d59c1a918 xen: arm: doc: Add firmware requirements
Add a section about what the firmware should do in EL3 before starting Xen.

E.g guest will use HVC instruction to issue hypercall. As this can be set only
at EL3, i.e. outside Xen, document this boot requirement.

address of uefi memory table.

Also document this device tree bindings of "hypervisor" and

Julien Grall cb818a58f6 xen/arm: Introduce xen, passthrough property
When a device is marked for passthrough (via the new property
"xen,passthrough"), dom0 must not access to the device (i.e not
loading a driver), but should be able to manage the MMIO/interrupt
of the passthrough device.

The latter part will allow the toolstack to map MMIO/IRQ when a device
is pass through to a guest.

The property "xen,passthrough" will be translated as 'status="disabled"'
in the device tree to avoid DOM0 using the device. We assume that DOM0 is
able to cope with this property (already the case for Linux, and
required by ePAPR).

Rework the function map_device (renamed into handle_device) to:

* For a given device node:
    - Give permission to manage IRQ/MMIO for this device
    - Retrieve the IRQ configuration (i.e edge/level) from the device
    tree
* When the device is not marked for guest passthrough:
    - Assign the device to the guest if it's protected by an IOMMU
    - Map the IRQs and MMIOs regions to the guest

This allows for early-printk to be specified (for existing UARTS at
least) without the need to edit Rules.mk.

The existing shortcuts are retained, but in a much more compact

An unused EARLY_PRINTK_BAUD was removed from the zynqmq settings.
