ARM: bcm: rewrite commentary for bcm_kona_do_smc()
The block of comments in bcm_kona_do_smc() are somewhat confusing. This patch attempts to clarify what's going on.

/*

* Since interrupts are disabled in the open mode, we must keep
|
||||
* interrupts disabled in secure mode by setting R5=0x3. If interrupts
|
||||
* are enabled in open mode, we can set R5=0x0 to allow interrupts in
|
||||
* secure mode. If we did this, the secure monitor would return back
|
||||
* control to the open mode to handle the interrupt prior to completing
|
||||
* the secure service. If this happened, R12 would not be
|
||||
* SEC_EXIT_NORMAL and we would need to call SMC again after resetting
|
||||
* R5 (it gets clobbered by the secure monitor) and setting R4 to
|
||||
* SSAPI_RET_FROM_INT_SERV to indicate that we want the secure monitor
|
||||
* to finish up the previous uncompleted secure service.
|
||||
* int bcm_kona_do_smc(u32 service_id, u32 buffer_addr)
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Only core 0 can run the secure monitor code. If an "smc" request
|
||||
* is initiated on a different core it must be redirected to core 0
|
||||
* for execution. We rely on the caller to handle this.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Each "smc" request supplies a service id and the address of a
|
||||
* buffer containing parameters related to the service to be
|
||||
* performed. A flags value defines the behavior of the level 2
|
||||
* cache and interrupt handling while the secure monitor executes.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Parameters to the "smc" request are passed in r4-r6 as follows:
|
||||
* r4 service id
|
||||
* r5 flags (SEC_ROM_*)
|
||||
* r6 physical address of buffer with other parameters
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Execution of an "smc" request produces two distinct results.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* First, the secure monitor call itself (regardless of the specific
|
||||
* service request) can succeed, or can produce an error. When an
|
||||
* "smc" request completes this value is found in r12; it should
|
||||
* always be SEC_EXIT_NORMAL.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* In addition, the particular service performed produces a result.
|
||||
* The values that should be expected depend on the service. We
|
||||
* therefore return this value to the caller, so it can handle the
|
||||
* request result appropriately. This result value is found in r0
|
||||
* when the "smc" request completes.
