      FVP_Base_AEMv8A platform: Fix cache maintenance operations · ef430ff4
      Alexei Fedorov authored 
      

This patch fixes FVP_Base_AEMv8A model hang issue with
ARMv8.4+ with cache modelling enabled configuration.
Incorrect L1 cache flush operation to PoU, using CLIDR_EL1
LoUIS field, which is required by the architecture to be
zero for ARMv8.4-A with ARMv8.4-S2FWB feature is replaced
with L1 to L2 and L2 to L3 (if L3 is present) cache flushes.
FVP_Base_AEMv8A model can be configured with L3 enabled by
setting `cluster0.l3cache-size` and `cluster1.l3cache-size`
to non-zero values, and presence of L3 is checked in
`aem_generic_core_pwr_dwn` function by reading
CLIDR_EL1.Ctype3 field value.

      Switch AARCH32/AARCH64 to __aarch64__ · 402b3cf8
      Julius Werner authored 
      

NOTE: AARCH32/AARCH64 macros are now deprecated in favor of __aarch64__.

All common C compilers pre-define the same macros to signal which
architecture the code is being compiled for: __arm__ for AArch32 (or
earlier versions) and __aarch64__ for AArch64. There's no need for TF-A
to define its own custom macros for this. In order to unify code with
the export headers (which use __aarch64__ to avoid another dependency),
let's deprecate the AARCH32 and AARCH64 macros and switch the code base
over to the pre-defined standard macro. (Since it is somewhat
unintuitive that __arm__ only means AArch32, let's standardize on only
using __aarch64__.)

      Apply compile-time check for AArch64-only cores · 629d04f5
      John Tsichritzis authored 
      

Some cores support only AArch64 mode. In those cores, only a limited
subset of the AArch32 system registers are implemented. Hence, if TF-A
is supposed to run on AArch64-only cores, it must be compiled with
CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0.

Currently, the default settings for compiling TF-A are with the AArch32
system registers included. So, if we compile TF-A the default way and
attempt to run it on an AArch64-only core, we only get a runtime panic.

Now a compile-time check has been added to ensure that this flag has the
appropriate value when AArch64-only cores are included in the build.

      Add support for Branch Target Identification · 9fc59639
      Alexei Fedorov authored 
      

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
than BTI.
BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
instruction.
This is an experimental feature.
Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

      Add compile-time errors for HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag · 076b5f02
      John Tsichritzis authored 
      This patch fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660



The introduced changes are the following:

1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the
hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ
cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is
unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and
compilation errors are generated, if needed.

2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for
the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e.
cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As
such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the
libraries only of the relevant cores.

3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.
