Hi
Arguments between the BL1 and BL2 is overlap by zeromem when BL2 start.
1. BL2 save r3 to r12
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
/*---------------------------------------------
* Save arguments x0 - x3 from BL1 for future
* use.
* ---------------------------------------------
*/
mov r9, r0
mov r10, r1
mov r11, r2
mov r12, r3
2. BL2 call zeromem to clear bss
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
ldr r0, =__BSS_START__
ldr r1, =__BSS_END__
sub r1, r1, r0
bl zeromem
arm-trusted-firmware/lib/aarch32/misc_helpers.S
tmp .req r12 /* Temporary scratch register */
r12 used as scratch register
3. r3 restore from r12
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
mov r0, r9
mov r1, r10
mov r2, r11
mov r3, r12
I can try to save it in other registers, but can not guarantee that the register will not be damaged. Is there any better way to deal with this problem?
Thanks.
