I /think/ the assumption in the existing code is that CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE is the base of some out-of-DRAM secure memory, and hence that's why arch/arm/cpu/armv7/virt-dt.c() only reserves memory if that symbol is *not* set? That seems like rather a confusing semantic given the variable name. Introducing a new define that looks like it's simply the size of that region but actually changes the reservation semantics makes the situation worse for me.

Wouldn't it be better to have:

CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE defines where the secure code is copied to.

CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE_IS_IN_DRAM defines the obvious; whether the secure base is in DRAM or not.

That define would default to unset and you'd get the current behaviour.

If that define was set, then CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE through CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE + (__secure_end - __secure_start) would be reserved in RAM?

That way, armv7_update_dt would be more like:

int armv7_update_dt(void *fdt)
{
#if defined(CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE_IS_IN_DRAM) || \
                !defined(CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE)
        /* secure code lives in RAM, keep it alive */
#if defined(CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE)
        base = CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE;
#else
        base = __secure_start;
#endif
        fdt_add_mem_rsv(fdt, base, __secure_end - __secure_start);
#endif

        return fdt_psci(fdt);
}
