Implement initjmp() for Arm. a non-standard extension to setjmp()/
longjmp() allowing to initialize a jump buffer with a function pointer
and a stack pointer. This will be useful to later introduce threads.
With this new function it becomes possible to longjmp() to a particular
function pointer (rather than to a point previously reached during
program execution as is the case with setjmp()), and with a custom stack.
Both things are needed to spin off a new thread. Then the usual
setjmp()/longjmp() pair is enough to save and restore a context, i.e.,
switch thread.

Jerome Forissier <jerome.forissier@linaro.org> says:
This series replaces the dynamic initcalls (with function pointers) with
static calls, and gets rid of initcall_run_list(), init_sequence_f,
init_sequence_f_r and init_sequence_r. This makes the code simpler and the
binary slighlty smaller: -2281 bytes/-0.21 % with LTO enabled and -510
bytes/-0.05 % with LTO disabled (xilinx_zynqmp_kria_defconfig).
Execution time doesn't seem to change noticeably. There is no impact on
the SPL.
The inline assembly fixes, although they look unrelated, are triggered
on some platforms with LTO enabled. For example: kirkwood_defconfig.

This series switches to always using $(PHASE_) in Makefiles when

It is confusing to have both "$(PHASE_)" and "$(XPL_)" be used in our
Makefiles as part of the macros to determine when to do something in our

While the _start label is only intended for use locally to populate the
(hand-written) PE header, the linker script includes ENTRY(_start) which
designates it as the entry point in the output ELF, resulting in linker
warnings under some linkers (e.g. LLVM's lld) due to _start not being a
globally-visible symbol. Since ELF is only an intermediary build
format, and the aforementioned PE header correctly points to _start, the
ENTRY(_start) directive could easily be removed to silence this warning.
However, since some developers who are debugging EFI by analyzing the
intermediary ELF may appreciate having correct entry-point information,
this patch instead promotes the _start labels to global symbols,
silencing the linker warning and making the intermediary ELF reflect the
true entry point.
This patch doesn't affect the final output binaries in any way.

LLVM's IAS does not (and cannot easily) support the 'adrl'
pseudoinstruction, and ARM developers generally do not consider it
portable across assembler implementations either.
Instead, expand it into the two subtract instructions it would emit
anyway. An explanation of the math follows:
The .+8 and .+4 refer to the same memory location; this is because the
.+4 expression occurs in a subsequent instruction, 4 bytes after the
first. This memory location is the value of the PC register when it is
read by the first sub instruction. Thus, both inner parenthesized
expressions evaluate to the same result: PC's offset relative to
image_base. The subtract instructions then remove one byte each
(low, then high) of the total offset, thereby getting the absolute
address of image_base loaded in r0.

This replaces dm_remove_devices_flags() calls in all boot
implementations to ensure non vital devices are consistently removed
first. All boot implementation except arch/arm/lib/bootm.c currently
just call dm_remove_devices_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL). This can result
in crashes when dependencies between devices exists. The driver model's
design document describes DM_FLAG_VITAL as "indicates that the device is
'vital' to the operation of other devices". Device removal at boot
should follow this.
Instead of adding dm_remove_devices_flags() with (DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL |
DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL) everywhere add dm_remove_devices_active() which
does this.
Fixes a NULL pointer deref in the apple dart IOMMU driver during EFI
boot. The xhci-pci (driver which depends on the IOMMU to work) removes
its mapping on removal. This explodes when the IOMMU device was removed
first.
dm_remove_devices_flags() is kept since it is used for testing of
device_remove() calls in dm.

Based on the existing work done by Simon Glass this series adds
support for booting aarch64 devices using ACPI only.
As first target QEMU SBSA support is added, which relies on ACPI
only to boot an OS. As secondary target the Raspberry Pi4 was used,
which is broadly available and allows easy testing of the proposed
solution.
The series is split into ACPI cleanups and code movements, adding
Arm specific ACPI tables and finally SoC and mainboard related
changes to boot a Linux on the QEMU SBSA and RPi4. Currently only the
mandatory ACPI tables are supported, allowing to boot into Linux
without errors.
The QEMU SBSA support is feature complete and provides the same
functionality as the EDK2 implementation.
The changes were tested on real hardware as well on QEMU v9.0:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine sbsa-ref -nographic -cpu cortex-a57 \
-pflash secure-world.rom \
-pflash unsecure-world.rom
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine raspi4b -kernel u-boot.bin -cpu cortex-a72 \
-smp 4 -m 2G -drive file=raspbian.img,format=raw,index=0 \
-dtb bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb -nographic
Tested against FWTS V24.03.00.
Known issues:
- The QEMU rpi4 support is currently limited as it doesn't emulate PCI,
USB or ethernet devices!
- The SMP bringup doesn't work on RPi4, but works in QEMU (Possibly
cache related).
- PCI on RPI4 isn't working on real hardware since the pcie_brcmstb
Linux kernel module doesn't support ACPI yet.

On Arm platforms that use ACPI they cannot rely on the "spin-table"
CPU bringup usually defined in the FDT. Thus implement the
'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.

Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> 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.

Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu@linaro.org> says:
This is a follow-up from an earlier RFC series [1] for making the LMB
and EFI memory allocations work together. This is a non-rfc version
with only the LMB part of the patches, for making the LMB memory map
global and persistent.
This is part one of a set of patches which aim to have the LMB and EFI
memory allocations work together. This requires making the LMB memory
map global and persistent, instead of having local, caller specific
maps. This is being done keeping in mind the usage of LMB memory by
platforms where the same memory region can be used to load multiple
different images. What is not allowed is to overwrite memory that has
been allocated by the other module, currently the EFI memory
module. This is being achieved by introducing a new flag,
LMB_NOOVERWRITE, which represents memory which cannot be re-requested
once allocated.
The data structures (alloced lists) required for maintaining the LMB
map are initialised during board init. The LMB module is enabled by
default for the main U-Boot image, while it needs to be enabled for
SPL. This version also uses a stack implementation, as suggested by
Simon Glass to temporarily store the lmb structure instance which is
used during normal operation when running lmb tests. This does away
with the need to run the lmb tests separately.
The tests have been tweaked where needed because of these changes.
The second part of the patches, to be sent subsequently, would work on
having the EFI allocations work with the LMB API's.
