      PIE: Position Independant Executable support for BL31 · 931f7c61
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

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.

      Make errata reporting mandatory for CPU files · 12af5ed4
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

Previously the errata reporting was optional for CPU operation
files and this was achieved by making use of weak reference to
resolve to 0 if the symbol is not defined. This is error prone
when adding new CPU operation files and weak references are
problematic when fixing up dynamic relocations. Hence this patch
removes the weak reference and makes it mandatory for the CPU
operation files to define the errata reporting function.

      PIE: Use PC relative adrp/adr for symbol reference · f1722b69
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

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.

      Add helper to return reference to a symbol · 6a7b3005
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

This patch adds a utility function to return
the address of a symbol. By default, the compiler
generates adr/adrp instruction pair to return
the reference and this utility is used to override
this compiler generated to code and use `ldr`
instruction.

This is needed for Position Independent Executable
when it needs to reference a symbol which is constant
and does not depend on the execute address of the
binary.

For example, on the FVP, the GICv3 register context is
stored in a secure carveout (arm_el3_tzc_dram) within
DDR and does not relocate with the BL image. Now if
BL31 is executing at a different address other than
the compiled address, using adrp/adr instructions to
reference this memory will not work as they generate an
address that is PC relative. The way to get around this
problem is to reference it as non-PC relative (i.e
non-relocatable location) via `ldr` instruction.

      Multi-console: Deprecate the `finish_console_register` macro · cc5859ca
      Soby Mathew authored 
      

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.

      Introduce object pool allocator · 9cc4651c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored 
      

The object pool allocator provides a simplistic interface to manage
allocation in a fixed-size static array. The caller creates a static
"object pool" out of such an array and may then call pool_alloc() to
get the next available object within the pool. There is also a variant
to get multiple consecutive objects: pool_alloc_n().

Note that this interface does not provide any way to free the objects
afterwards. This is by design and it is not a limitation. We do not
want to introduce complexity induced by memory freeing, such as
use-after-free bugs, memory fragmentation and so on.

      plat/arm: Remove file arm_board_def.h · 0f58d4f2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      

This file is shared between FVP and all CSS platforms. While it may be
true that some definitions can be common, it doesn't make sense
conceptually. For example, the stack size depends on the platform and so
does the SRAM size.

After removing them, there are not enough common definitions to justify
having this header, so the other definitions have been moved to the
platform_def.h of FVP, board_css_def.h and arm_def.h.

      FVP: Reclaim init code for the stack · cb4adb0d
      Daniel Boulby authored 
      

Map the initialization code for BL31 to overlap with the memory
required for the secondary cores stack. Once BL31 has been
initialized the memory can be remapped to RW data so that it can
be used for secondary cores stacks. By moving code from .text to
.text.init the size of the BL31 image is decreased by a page.

Split arm_common.ld.S into two linker scripts, one for tzc_dram
(arm_tzc_dram.ld.S) and one for reclaiming initialization code
(arm_reclaim_init.ld.S) so that platforms can chose which memory
regions they wish to include.

This patch introduces a build flag "RECLAIM_INIT_CODE" to mark boot time
code which allows platforms to place this memory in an appropriate
section to be reclaimed later. This features is primarily targeted for
BL31. Appropriate documentation updates are also done.

      plat/arm: Remove option ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM · c0740e4f
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      

This option makes it hard to optimize the memory definitions of all Arm
platforms because any change in the common defines must work in all of
them. The best thing to do is to remove it and move the definition to
each platform's header.

FVP, SGI and SGM were using the definitions in board_arm_def.h. The
definitions have been copied to each platform's platform_def.h. Juno
was already using the ones in platform_def.h, so there have been no
changes.
