      TBB: switch to the new authentication framework · 1779ba6b
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
      the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
      module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
      authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.
      
      A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
      is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
      authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
      trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
      build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
      ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.
      
      The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
      to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
      variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.
      
      On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
      each to accommodate the ECDSA code.

      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.

      Use numbers to identify images instead of names · 16948ae1
      Juan Castillo authored
      The Trusted firmware code identifies BL images by name. The platform
      port defines a name for each image e.g. the IO framework uses this
      mechanism in the platform function plat_get_image_source(). For
      a given image name, it returns the handle to the image file which
      involves comparing images names. In addition, if the image is
      packaged in a FIP, a name comparison is required to find the UUID
      for the image. This method is not optimal.
      
      This patch changes the interface between the generic and platform
      code with regard to identifying images. The platform port must now
      allocate a unique number (ID) for every image. The generic code will
      use the image ID instead of the name to access its attributes.
      
      As a result, the plat_get_image_source() function now takes an image
      ID as an input parameter. The organisation of data structures within
      the IO framework has been rationalised to use an image ID as an index
      into an array which contains attributes of the image such as UUID and
      name. This prevents the name comparisons.
      
      A new type 'io_uuid_spec_t' has been introduced in the IO framework
      to specify images identified by UUID (i.e. when the image is contained
      in a FIP file). There is no longer need to maintain a look-up table
      [iname_name --> uuid] in the io_fip driver code.
      
      Because image names are no longer mandatory in the platform port, the
      debug messages in the generic code will show the image identifier
      instead of the file name. The platforms that support semihosting to
      load images (i.e. FVP) must provide the file names as definitions
      private to the platform.
      
      The ARM platform ports and documentation have been updated accordingly.
      All ARM platforms reuse the image IDs defined in the platform common
      code. These IDs will be used to access other attributes of an image in
      subsequent patches.
      
      IMPORTANT: applying this patch breaks compatibility for platforms that
      use TF BL1 or BL2 images or the image loading code. The platform port
      must be updated to match the new interface.

      Bug fix: Build time condition to relocate RW data · c9915c0b
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch fixes the build time condition deciding whether the
      read-write data should be relocated from ROM to RAM. It was incorrectly
      using __DATA_ROM_START__, which is a linker symbol and not a compiler
      build flag. As a result, the relocation code was always compiled out.
      
      This bug has been introduced by the following patch:

      Rationalize reset handling code · 52010cc7
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
      results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
      RESET_TO_BL31 option.
      
      This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
      PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
       1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
       2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
          CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
          simultaneously;
       3) Run the CPU init code.
      
      This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
      the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.
      
      This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
      different types of systems.
      
      NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
      NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
      FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
      OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

      Remove FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL build option · 452b7fa2
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch removes the FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL build flag and its
      use in ARM development platforms. If a different reset handling
      behavior is required between the first and subsequent invocations
      of the reset handling code, this should be detected at runtime.
      
      On Juno, the platform reset handler is now always compiled in.
      This means it is now executed twice on the cold boot path, first in
      BL1 then in BL3-1, and it has the same behavior in both cases. It is
      also executed twice on the warm boot path, first in BL1 then in the
      PSCI entrypoint code.
      
      Also update the documentation to reflect this change.
      
      NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY FORCE PLATFORM PORTS THAT USE THE
      FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL BUILD OPTION TO FIX THEIR RESET HANDLER.

      Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions · 8b779620
      Kévin Petit authored
      
      
      In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
      functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
      assembler using the .size directive.
      
      To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
      macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
      a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.
      
      The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
      endfunc is omitted.

      Enable type-checking of arguments passed to printf() et al. · dad25049
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch modifies the declarations of the functions printf() et al.
      and adds the right GCC attribute to request the compiler to check
      the type of the arguments passed to these functions against the given
      format string. This will ensure that the compiler outputs warning
      messages like the following whenever it detects an inconsistency:
      
       file.c:42: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long int’
      
      It also fixes the type mismatch inconsistencies that it revealed
      across the code base.

      PRINTF FAMILY OF FUNCTIONS TO FIX ANY TYPE MISMATCH INCONSISTENCIES.

      TBB: add authentication module interface · 40febc3a
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch provides an API to access the authentication module that
      will be used to verify the authenticity of the images loaded into
      memory as part of the Trusted Board Boot process.
      
      To include the authentication module as part of the build, set the
      boolean build option TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT. One single authentication
      module must be registered at build time by setting the build option
      AUTH_MOD=<mod_name>. All authentication modules will be located in
      'common/auth/<mod_name>' and must present the <mod_name>.mk file that
      will be included by the build system to compile the module sources.
      
      To create an authentication module, an instance of auth_mod_t called
      'auth_mod' must be declared in the module sources. The initialization
      and verification functions provided by the module will be exported
      through the function pointers specified when declaring this instance.
      
      If an authentication module includes third party sources that do not
      adhere to the C99 standard, the -pedantic option may be removed from
      the build options by setting the flag DISABLE_PEDANTIC in the module
      file <mod_name>.mk.

      Call reset handlers upon BL3-1 entry. · 79a97b2e
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
      cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.
      
      This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
      handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
      perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
      call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.
      
      Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
      additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
      from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
      to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
      executed or an overridden version of the code.
      
      The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
      applied.

      Rework use of labels in assembly macros. · aecc0840
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch provides a workaround for the ASM_ASSERT label issue
      and also reworks the use of labels in assembly macros.
      If the caller of the ASM_ASSERT macro happened to use the
      label '1' to jump past the ASM_ASSERT macro, it would not have
      worked since the ASM_ASSERT macro internally used the same label.
      Hence, as a workaround, this patch makes the label a high
      number in the expectation that the caller will never use it.
      
      Also updated the other assembly macros using numerical labels to
      named lables.

      Initialise CPU contexts from entry_point_info · 167a9357
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Consolidate all BL3-1 CPU context initialization for cold boot, PSCI
      and SPDs into two functions:
      *  The first uses entry_point_info to initialize the relevant
         cpu_context for first entry into a lower exception level on a CPU
      *  The second populates the EL1 and EL2 system registers as needed
         from the cpu_context to ensure correct entry into the lower EL
      
      This patch alters the way that BL3-1 determines which exception level
      is used when first entering EL1 or EL2 during cold boot - this is now
      fully determined by the SPSR value in the entry_point_info for BL3-3,
      as set up by the platform code in BL2 (or otherwise provided to BL3-1).
      
      In the situation that EL1 (or svc mode) is selected for a processor
      that supports EL2, the context management code will now configure all
      essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. This
      allows the platform code to run non-secure EL1 payloads directly
      without requiring a small EL2 stub or OS loader.

      Move BL porting functions into platform.h · dec5e0d1
      Dan Handley authored
      Some platform porting functions were in BL specific header files.
      These have been moved to platform.h so that all porting functions
      are in the same place. The functions are now grouped by BL.
      Obsolete BL headers files have been removed.
      
      Also, the weak declaration of the init_bl2_mem_layout() function
      has been moved out the header file and into the source file
      (bl_common.c) using the more succinct #pragma syntax. This
      mitigates the risk of 2 weak definitions being created and the
      wrong one being picked up by the compiler.

      Add support for BL3-1 as a reset vector · dbad1bac
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
      which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
      initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.
      
      When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that
      the BL3-1 platform code can determine the location of
      the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
      that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.
      
      It also fixes the incorrect initialisation of mailbox
      registers on the FVP platform
      
      This feature can be enabled by building the code with
      make variable RESET_TO_BL31 set as 1

      Rework memory information passing to BL3-x images · 6871c5d3
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      The issues addressed in this patch are:
      
      1. Remove meminfo_t from the common interfaces in BL3-x,
      expecting that platform code will find a suitable mechanism
      to determine the memory extents in these images and provide
      it to the BL3-x images.
      
      2. Remove meminfo_t and bl31_plat_params_t from all FVP BL3-x
      code as the images use link-time information to determine
      memory extents.
      
      meminfo_t is still used by common interface in BL1/BL2 for
      loading images

      Populate BL31 input parameters as per new spec · 4112bfa0
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch is based on spec published at
      https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/133
      
      It rearranges the bl31_args struct into
      bl31_params and bl31_plat_params which provide the
      information needed for Trusted firmware and platform
      specific data via x0 and x1
      
      On the FVP platform BL3-1 params and BL3-1 plat params
      and its constituents are stored at the start of TZDRAM.
      
      The information about memory availability and size for
      BL3-1, BL3-2 and BL3-3 is moved into platform specific data.

      Rework handover interface between BL stages · 29fb905d
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and
      BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el()
      and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were
      never exercised.
      BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
      by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
      execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
      to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
      running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
      'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
      general purpose registers earlier.

      Introduce macros to manipulate the SPSR · 23ff9baa
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      This patch introduces macros (SPSR_64 and SPSR_32) to
      create a SPSR for both aarch32 and aarch64 execution
      states. These macros allow the user to set fields
      in the SPSR depending upon its format.
      The make_spsr() function which did not allow
      manipulation of all the fields in the aarch32 SPSR
      has been replaced by these new macros.

      Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting · a43d431b
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
      taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
      to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
      previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
      This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
      contents for debugging and analysis.
      
      This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
      to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
      Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.
      
      panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
      and prints the PC value in release mode.
      
      The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
      The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
      since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
      and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
      utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
      crash happens and hence the rename.

      Optimise data cache clean/invalidate operation · 5f6032a8
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      The data cache clean and invalidate operations dcsw_op_all()
      and dcsw_op_loius() were implemented to invoke a DSB and ISB
      barrier for every set/way operation. This adds a substantial
      performance penalty to an already expensive operation.
      
      These functions have been reworked to provide an optimised
      implementation derived from the code in section D3.4 of the
      ARMv8 ARM. The helper macro setup_dcsw_op_args has been moved
      and reworked alongside the implementation.

      Access system registers directly in assembler · 7935d0a5
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
      or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
      use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
      compact code.
      
      This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
      direct register accesses.

      Reduce deep nesting of header files · 97043ac9
      Dan Handley authored
      Reduce the number of header files included from other header
      files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
      declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
      "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
      
      Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
      including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

      Always use named structs in header files · fb037bfb
      Dan Handley authored
      Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
      allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
      reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
      commit).
      
      Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
      suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
      coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
      this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.
      
      Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
      structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.
