      mbedtls: Define optimized mbed TLS heap size · 05fd893e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      mbed TLS provides the debug API `mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_status()`
      to analyse the RAM usage of the library.
      
      When RSA is selected as algorithm, the maximum heap usage in FVP and
      Juno has been determined empirically to be approximately 5.5 KiB.
      However, The default heap size used when RSA is selected is 8 KiB.
      
      This patch reduces the buffer from 8 KiB to 6 KiB so that the BSS
      sections of both BL1 and BL2 are 2 KiB smaller when the firmware is
      compiled with TBB support.

      mbedtls: Use `tf_snprintf` instead of `snprintf` · ab1794f5
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      The Trusted Firmware uses a subset of the APIs provided by mbed TLS.
      This subset internally uses `snprintf`, but the only format specifier
      used is '%d', which is supported by `tf_snprintf`.
      
      This patch makes mbed TLS use `tf_snprintf` instead of `snprintf`,
      saving 3 KB in both debug and release builds when TBBR is enabled.

      cert: move platform_oid.h to include/tools_share for all platforms · bb41eb7a
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      Platforms aligned with TBBR are supposed to use their own OIDs, but
      defining the same macros with different OIDs does not provide any
      value (at least technically).
      
      For easier use of TBBR, this commit allows platforms to reuse the OIDs
      obtained by ARM Ltd.  This will be useful for non-ARM vendors that
      do not need their own extension fields in their certificate files.
      
      The OIDs of ARM Ltd. have been moved to include/tools_share/tbbr_oid.h
      
      Platforms can include <tbbr_oid.h> instead of <platform_oid.h> by
      defining USE_TBBR_DEFS as 1.  USE_TBBR_DEFS is 0 by default to keep the
      backward compatibility.
      
      For clarification, I inserted a blank line between headers from the
      include/ directory (#include <...>) and ones from a local directory
      (#include "..." ).

      mbedtls: Complete namespace for TF specific macros · 0aff7ad2

      This patch renames MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG to TF_MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG. This

      mbedtls: Namespace for TF specific macros · b1883510
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      An earlier patch (arm-trusted-firmware#874) migrated MBEDTLS_ suffixed
      macros to have a TBBR_ suffix to avoid any potential clash with future
      mbedtls macros.
      
      But on reflection the TBBR_ suffix could be confusing as the macros
      are used to drive TF-specific configuration of mbedtls. As such
      this patch migrates these macros from TBBR_suffix to TF_MBEDTLS_
      suffix which more accurately conveys their use.

      mbedtls: Namespace TF specific macros · 66b4c166
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      These macros are not part of mbed TLS so they should not be prefixed
      with `MBEDTLS_` to avoid potential collision in the future. Use the
      `TBBR_` suffix to highlight that they only used in TF.
      
      `MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG` was not modified because that is documented and used
      by platforms to select the key algorithm.

      Revert "tbbr: Use constant-time bcmp() to compare hashes" · fabd21ad
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      This reverts commit b621fb50
      
      .
      
      Because of the Trusted Firmware design, timing-safe functions are not
      needed. Using them may be misleading as it could be interpreted as being
      a protection against private data leakage, which isn't the case here.
      
      For each image, the SHA-256 hash is calculated. Some padding is appended
      and the result is encrypted with a private key using RSA-2048. This is
      the signature of the image. The public key is stored along with BL1 in
      read-only memory and the encrypted hash is stored in the FIP.
      
      When authenticating an image, the TF decrypts the hash stored in the FIP
      and recalculates the hash of the image. If they don't match, the boot
      sequence won't continue.
      
      A constant-time comparison does not provide additional security as all
      the data involved in this process is already known to any attacker.
      There is no private data that can leaked through a timing attack when
      authenticating an image.
      
      `timingsafe_bcmp()` is kept in the codebase because it could be useful
      in the future.

      Replace some memset call by zeromem · 32f0d3c6
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized
      structure by applying the following transformation:
      memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x))
      
      As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the
      compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to
      the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement
      for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32
      and AArch64.

      tbbr: Use constant-time bcmp() to compare hashes · b621fb50
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      To avoid timing side-channel attacks, it is needed to use a constant
      time memory comparison function when comparing hashes. The affected
      code only cheks for equality so it isn't needed to use any variant of
      memcmp(), bcmp() is enough.
      
      Also, timingsafe_bcmp() is as fast as memcmp() when the two compared
      regions are equal, so this change incurrs no performance hit in said
      case. In case they are unequal, the boot sequence wouldn't continue as
      normal, so performance is not an issue.

      Clear static variables in X509 parser on error · 51c5e1a2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      In mbedtls_x509_parser.c there are some static arrays that are filled
      during the integrity check and then read whenever an authentication
      parameter is requested. However, they aren't cleared in case of an
      integrity check failure, which can be problematic from a security
      point of view. This patch clears these arrays in the case of failure.

      TBB: fix comment about MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG default · a56f87c8
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      This comment block says the default algorithm is ESDSA, while the
      code obviously sets the default to RSA:
      
        ifeq (${MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG},)
            MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG            :=      rsa
        endif
      
      The git log of commit 7d37aa17
      
       ("TBB: add mbedTLS authentication
      related libraries") states available options are:
      
        * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
        * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)
      
      So, my best guess is the comment block is wrong.
      
      The mismatch between the code and the comment is confusing. Fix it.

      tbbr: Fix updating of Non-Trusted NV counter · d35dee23
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      The previous code required that a certificate be signed with the ROT
      key before the platform's NV counter could be updated with the value
      in the certificate.  This implies that the Non-Trusted NV counter was
      not being updated for Non-Trusted content certificates, as they cannot
      be signed with the ROT key in the TBBR CoT scheme.
      
      The code is reworked to only allow updating the platform's Trusted NV
      counter when a certificate protected by the Trusted NV counter is
      signed with the ROT key.
      
      Content certificates protected by the Non-Trusted NV counter are
      allowed to update the platform's Non-Trusted NV counter, assuming
      that the certificate value is higher than the platform's value.
      
      A new optional platform API has been introduced, named
      plat_set_nv_ctr2().  Platforms may choose to implement it and perform
      additional checks based on the authentication image descriptor before
      modifying the NV counters.  A default weak implementation is available
      that just calls into plat_set_nv_ctr().
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#426

      Allow dynamic overriding of ROTPK verification · 04943d33
      Soby Mathew authored
      A production ROM with TBB enabled must have the ability to boot test software
      before a real ROTPK is deployed (e.g. manufacturing mode). Previously the
      function plat_get_rotpk_info() must return a valid ROTPK for TBB to succeed.
      This patch adds an additional bit `ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED` in the output `flags`
      parameter from plat_get_rotpk_info(). If this bit is set, then the ROTPK
      in certificate is used without verifying against the platform value.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#381

      TBB: add non-volatile counter support · 48279d52
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds support for non-volatile counter authentication to
      the Authentication Module. This method consists of matching the
      counter values provided in the certificates with the ones stored
      in the platform. If the value from the certificate is lower than
      the platform, the boot process is aborted. This mechanism protects
      the system against rollback.
      
      The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
      authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
      world images and another for the non trusted world images.
      
      ** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **
      
      int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);
      
          This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
          in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
          used to select the counter in case the platform provides
          more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
          trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
          in the CoT.
      
      int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);
      
          This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
          used to select the counter to be updated.
      
      An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
      provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
      Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
      This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
      must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
      have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.
      
      ** IMPORTANT **
      
      THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
      NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
      ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.

      Always build with '-pedantic' · aa856917
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      By default ARM TF is built with the '-pedantic' compiler flag, which
      helps detecting violations of the C standard. However, the mbed TLS
      library and its associated authentication module in TF used to fail
      building with this compiler flag. As a workaround, the mbed TLS
      authentication module makefile used to set the 'DISABLE_PEDANTIC'
      TF build flag.
      
      The compiler errors flagged by '-pedantic' in the mbed TLS library
      have been fixed between versions 1.3.9 and 2.2.0 and the library now
      properly builds with this compiler flag.
      
      This patch fixes the remaining compiler errors in the mbed TLS
      authentication module in TF and unsets the 'DISABLE_PEDANTIC' TF
      build flag. This means that TF is now always built with '-pedantic'.
      
      In particular, this patch:
      
       * Removes the final semi-colon in REGISTER_COT() macro.
      
         This semi-colon was causing the following error message:
      
         drivers/auth/tbbr/tbbr_cot.c:544:23: error: ISO C does not allow
         extra ';' outside of a function [-Werror=pedantic]
      
         This has been fixed both in the mbed TLS authentication module
         as well as in the certificate generation tool. Note that the latter
         code didn't need fixing since it is not built with '-pedantic' but
         the change has been propagated for consistency.
      
         Also fixed the REGISTER_KEYS() and REGISTER_EXTENSIONS() macros,
         which were suffering from the same issue.
      
       * Fixes a pointer type.
      
         It was causing the following error message:
      
         drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_crypto.c: In function 'verify_hash':
         drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_crypto.c:177:42: error: pointer of

      Move up to mbed TLS 2.x · 649dbf6f
      Juan Castillo authored
      The mbed TLS library has introduced some changes in the API from
      the 1.3.x to the 2.x releases. Using the 2.x releases requires
      some changes to the crypto and transport modules.
      
      This patch updates both modules to the mbed TLS 2.x API.
      
      All references to the mbed TLS library in the code or documentation
      have been updated to 'mbed TLS'. Old references to PolarSSL have
      been updated to 'mbed TLS'.
      
      User guide updated to use mbed TLS 2.2.0.
      
      NOTE: moving up to mbed TLS 2.x from 1.3.x is not backward compatible.
      Applying this patch will require an mbed TLS 2.x release to be used.
      Also note that the mbed TLS license changed to Apache version 2.0.

      FWU: Add Generic Firmware Update framework support in BL1 · 48bfb88e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
      BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
      specific code detects that it is needed.
      
      This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
      included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.
      
      This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
      of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
      and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
      BL1 SMCs.
      
      Following platform porting functions are introduced:
      
      int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
      unsigned int flags);
      	This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
      	for the provided base/size for the given security state.
      	The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.
      
      __dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
      	This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
      	to mark completion of the FWU process.
      	The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.
      
      plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.
      
      FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
      other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
      `bl1_main()`.
      
      NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
      bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

      TBB: add TBBR Chain of Trust · dff93c86
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds a CoT based on the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
      document*. The CoT consists of an array of authentication image
      descriptors indexed by the image identifiers.
      
      A new header file with TBBR image identifiers has been added.
      Platforms that use the TBBR (i.e. ARM platforms) may reuse these
      definitions as part of their platform porting.
      
      PLATFORM PORT - IMPORTANT:
      
      Default image IDs have been removed from the platform common
      definitions file (common_def.h). As a consequence, platforms that
      used those common definitons must now either include the IDs
      provided by the TBBR header file or define their own IDs.
      
      *The NVCounter authentication method has not been implemented yet.

      TBB: add mbedTLS authentication related libraries · 7d37aa17
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the following mbedTLS based libraries:
      
      * Cryptographic library
      
      It is used by the crypto module to verify a digital signature
      and a hash. This library relies on mbedTLS to perform the
      cryptographic operations. mbedTLS sources must be obtained
      separately.
      
      Two key algorithms are currently supported:
      
          * RSA-2048
          * ECDSA-SECP256R1
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the required
      algorithm by defining the 'MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG' variable in the
      platform makefile. Available options are:
      
          * 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
          * 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)
      
      Hash algorithm currently supported is SHA-256.
      
      * Image parser library
      
      Used by the image parser module to extract the authentication
      parameters stored in X509v3 certificates.

      TBB: add authentication framework · 05799ae0
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as
      the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware.
      The framework comprises the following modules:
      
      - Image Parser Module (IPM)
      
          This module is responsible for interpreting images, check
          their integrity and extract authentication information from
          them during Trusted Board Boot.
      
          The module currently supports three types of images i.e.
          raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to
          a platform. An image parser library must be registered for
          each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser,
          which is included in the main module by default).
      
          Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a
          specific linker section which contains function pointers to:
      
              1. Initialize the library
              2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by
                 the library
              3. Extract authentication information from the image
      
      - Cryptographic Module (CM)
      
          This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures
          and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library
          to perform the cryptographic operations.
      
          To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the
          REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to:
      
              1. Initialize the library
              2. Verify a digital signature
              3. Verify a hash
      
          Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate
          a build time error.
      
      - Authentication Module (AM)
      
          This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like
          hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser
          module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module
          to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to
          authenticate the images.
      
          The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the
          dependencies between images and the authentication methods
          that must be followed to authenticate an image.
      
      The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named
      cot_def.h with the following definitions:
      
      - COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS
      
          Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication
          parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the
          authentication module to allocate the memory required to load
          the parameters in the image descriptor.
