The common section data are repeated in many linker scripts (often twice in each script to support SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA). When you add a new read-only data section, you end up with touching lots of places. After this commit, you will only need to touch bl_common.ld.h when you add a new section to RODATA_COMMON. Replace a series of RO section with RODATA_COMMON, which contains 6 sections, some of which did not exist before. This is not a big deal because unneeded data should not be compiled in the first place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES in Makefiles, not by linker scripts. When I was working on this commit, the BL1 image size increased due to the fconf_populator. Commit c452ba15 ("fconf: exclude fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES") fixed this issue. I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3, BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more unexpected code addition.

These are mostly used to collect data from special structure, and repeated in many linker scripts. To differentiate the alignment size between aarch32/aarch64, I added a new macro STRUCT_ALIGN. While I moved the PMF_SVC_DESCS, I dropped #if ENABLE_PMF conditional. As you can see in include/lib/pmf/pmf_helpers.h, PMF_REGISTER_SERVICE* are no-op when ENABLE_PMF=0. So, pmf_svc_descs and pmf_timestamp_array data are not populated. Change-Id: I3f4ab7fa18f76339f1789103407ba76bda7e56d0 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

TF-A has so many linker scripts, at least one linker script for each BL image, and some platforms have their own ones. They duplicate quite similar code (and comments). When we add some changes to linker scripts, we end up with touching so many files. This is not nice in the maintainability perspective. When you look at Linux kernel, the common code is macrofied in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, which is included from each arch linker script, arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S TF-A can follow this approach. Let's factor out the common code into include/common/bl_common.ld.h As a start point, this commit factors out the xlat_table section.

Currently, the end address macros are defined per BL, like BL2_END, BL31_END, BL32_END. They are not handy in the common code shared between multiple BL stages. This commit introduces BL_END, which is equivalent to BL{2,31,32}_END, and will be useful for the BL-common code.

If a firmware component like TF-A reserves special memory regions for its own or secure payload services, it should announce the location and size of those regions to the non-secure world. This will avoid disappointment when some rich OS tries to acccess this memory, which will likely end in a crash. The traditional way of advertising reserved memory using device tree is using the special memreserve feature of the device tree blob (DTB). However by definition those regions mentioned there do not prevent the rich OS to map this memory, which may lead to speculative accesses to this memory and hence spurious bus errors. A safer way of carving out memory is to use the /reserved-memory node as part of the normal DT structure. Besides being easier to setup, this also defines an explicit "no-map" property to signify the secure-only nature of certain memory regions, which avoids the rich OS to accidentally step on it. Add a helper function to allow platform ports to easily add a region. Change-Id: I2b92676cf48fd3bdacda05b5c6b1c7952ebed68c Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com>

The QEMU platform port scans its device tree to advertise PSCI as the CPU enable method. It does this by scanning *every* node in the DT and check whether its compatible string starts with "arm,cortex-a". Then it sets the enable-method to PSCI, if it doesn't already have one. Other platforms might want to use this functionality as well, so let's move it out of the QEMU platform directory and make it more robust by fixing some shortcomings: - A compatible string starting with a certain prefix is not a good way to find the CPU nodes. For instance a "arm,cortex-a72-pmu" node will match as well and is in turn favoured with an enable-method. - If the DT already has an enable-method, we won't change this to PSCI. Those two issues will for instance fail on the Raspberry Pi 4 DT. To fix those problems, we adjust the scanning method: The DT spec says that all CPU nodes are subnodes of the mandatory /cpus node, which is a subnode of the root node. Also each CPU node has to have a device_type = "cpu" property. So we find the /cpus node, then scan for a subnode with the proper device_type, forcing the enable-method to "psci". We have to restart this search after a property has been patched, as the node offsets might have changed meanwhile. This allows this routine to be reused for the Raspberry Pi 4 later.

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__.)

BL31 used to take a single bl31_params_t parameter structure with entry point information in arg0. In commit 72600226 (Add new version of image loading.) this API was changed to a more flexible linked list approach, and the old parameter structure was copied into all platforms that still used the old format. This duplicated code unnecessarily among all these platforms. This patch adds a helper function that platforms can optionally link to outsource the task of interpreting arg0. Many platforms are just interested in the BL32 and BL33 entry point information anyway. Since some platforms still need to support the old version 1 parameters, the helper will support both formats when ERROR_DEPRECATED == 0. This allows those platforms to drop a bunch of boilerplate code and asynchronously update their BL2 implementation to the newer format.

This patch adds a new include/export/ directory meant for inclusion in third-party code. This is useful for cases where third-party code needs to interact with TF-A interfaces and data structures (such as a custom BL2-implementation like coreboot handing off to BL31). Directly including headers from the TF-A repository avoids having to duplicate all these definitions (and risk them going stale), but with the current header structure this is not possible because handoff API definitions are too deeply intertwined with other TF code/headers and chain-include other headers that will not be available in the other environment. The new approach aims to solve this by separating only the parts that are really needed into these special headers that are self-contained and will not chain-include other (non-export) headers. TF-A code should never include them directly but should instead always include the respective wrapper header, which will include the required prerequisites (like <stdint.h>) before including the export header. Third-party code can include the export headers via its own wrappers that make sure the necessary definitions are available in whatever way that environment can provide them.

It's not a good idea to use u_register_t for the members of aapcs64_params_t and aapcs32_params_t, since the width of that type always depends on the current execution environment. This would cause problems if e.g. we used this structure to set up the entry point of an AArch32 program from within an AArch64 program. (It doesn't seem like any code is doing that today, but it's probably still a good idea to write this defensively. Also, it helps with my next patch.)

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. Change-Id: Ifaf4438609b16647dc79468b70cd1f47a623362e Signed-off-by: Alexei Fedorov <Alexei.Fedorov@arm.com>

The previous commit added the infrastructure to load and save ARMv8.3-PAuth registers during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches, but didn't actually enable pointer authentication in the firmware. This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide authentication keys for the firmware, and a new option (ENABLE_PAUTH) to enable pointer authentication in the firmware itself. This option is disabled by default, and it requires CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS to be enabled.

Many parts of the code were duplicating symbols that are defined in include/common/bl_common.h. It is better to only use the definitions in this header. As all the symbols refer to virtual addresses, they have to be uintptr_t, not unsigned long. This has also been fixed in bl_common.h.

On ARM platforms, the BL2 memory can be overlaid by BL31/BL32. The memory descriptors describing the list of executable images are created in BL2 R/W memory, which could be possibly corrupted later on by BL31/BL32 due to overlay. This patch creates a reserved location in SRAM for these descriptors and are copied over by BL2 before handing over to next BL image. Also this patch increases the PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL2_SIZE for juno when TBBR is enabled.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths. The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged: - include/lib/cpus/${ARCH} - include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH} The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two of them). For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support"). This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339 ("Move include and source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that this creates problems. Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

The Armv8.5 extensions introduces PSTATE.SSBS (Speculation Store Bypass Safe) bit to mitigate against Variant 4 vulnerabilities. Although an Armv8.5 feature, this can be implemented by CPUs implementing earlier version of the architecture. With this patch, when both PSTATE.SSBS is implemented and DYNAMIC_WORKAROUND_CVE_2018_3639 is active, querying for SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 via. SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES call would return 1 to indicate that mitigation on the PE is either permanently enabled or not required. When SSBS is implemented, SCTLR_EL3.DSSBS is initialized to 0 at reset of every BL stage. This means that EL3 always executes with mitigation applied. For Cortex A76, if the PE implements SSBS, the existing mitigation (by using a different vector table, and tweaking CPU ACTLR2) is not used.

All identifiers, regardless of use, that start with two underscores are reserved. This means they can't be used in header guards. The style that this project is now to use the full name of the file in capital letters followed by 'H'. For example, for a file called "uart_example.h", the header guard is UART_EXAMPLE_H. The exceptions are files that are imported from other projects: - CryptoCell driver - dt-bindings folders - zlib headers Change-Id: I50561bf6c88b491ec440d0c8385c74650f3c106e Signed-off-by: Antonio Nino Diaz <antonio.ninodiaz@arm.com>

This patch introduces Position Independant Executable(PIE) support in TF-A. As a initial prototype, only BL31 can support PIE. A trivial dynamic linker is implemented which supports fixing up Global Offset Table(GOT) and Dynamic relocations(.rela.dyn). The fixup_gdt_reloc() helper function implements this linker and this needs to be called early in the boot sequence prior to invoking C functions. The GOT is placed in the RO section of BL31 binary for improved security and the BL31 linker script is modified to export the appropriate symbols required for the dynamic linker. The C compiler always generates PC relative addresses to linker symbols and hence referencing symbols exporting constants are a problem when relocating the binary. Hence the reference to the `__PERCPU_TIMESTAMP_SIZE__` symbol in PMF is removed and is now calculated at runtime based on start and end addresses.

This patch fixes up the AArch64 assembly code to use adrp/adr instructions instead of ldr instruction for reference to symbols. This allows these assembly sequences to be Position Independant. Note that the the reference to sizes have been replaced with calculation of size at runtime. This is because size is a constant value and does not depend on execution address and using PC relative instructions for loading them makes them relative to execution address. Also we cannot use `ldr` instruction to load size as it generates a dynamic relocation entry which must *not* be fixed up and it is difficult for a dynamic loader to differentiate which entries need to be skipped.

The `finish_console_register` macro is used by the multi console framework to register the `console_t` driver callbacks. It relied on weak references to the `ldr` instruction to populate 0 to the callback in case the driver has not defined the appropriate function. Use of `ldr` instruction to load absolute address to a reference makes the binary position dependant. These instructions should be replaced with adrp/adr instruction for position independant executable(PIE). But adrp/adr instructions don't work well with weak references as described in GNU ld bugzilla issue 22589. This patch defines a new version of `finish_console_register` macro which can spcify which driver callbacks are valid and deprecates the old one. If any of the argument is not specified, then the macro populates 0 for that callback. Hence the functionality of the previous deprecated macro is preserved. The USE_FINISH_CONSOLE_REG_2 define is used to select the new variant of the macro and will be removed once the deprecated variant is removed. All the upstream console drivers have been migrated to use the new macro in this patch. NOTE: Platforms be aware that the new variant of the `finish_console_register` should be used and the old variant is deprecated.

Pointer authentication is an Armv8.3 feature that introduces instructions that can be used to authenticate and verify pointers. Pointer authentication instructions are allowed to be accessed from all ELs but only when EL3 explicitly allows for it; otherwise, their usage will trap to EL3. Since EL3 doesn't have trap handling in place, this patch unconditionally disables all related traps to EL3 to avoid potential misconfiguration leading to an unhandled EL3 exception.
