      Fully initialise essential control registers · 18f2efd6
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      This patch updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully
      initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware
      to set the reset values.
      
      The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise
      the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and
      secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower
      EL.
      
      This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software
      must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1.
      
      This patch also corrects the following typos:
      
      "NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions"

      Add support for GCC stack protection · 51faada7
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
      compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
      options.
      
      A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
      It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
      corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
      from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
      protection.
      
      A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
      detected.
      
      To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
      lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
      attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
      the protection.
      
      FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
      there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
      timer's value, which could be predictable.

      Introduce unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
      addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
      time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
      without doing external memory access.
      
      Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
      zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
      
      Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
      firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
      with zeromem16 requirements).
      
      Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
      8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
      more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
      
      Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
      that are implemented this way:
      * AArch32:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
      	* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
      * AArch64:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory  using DC ZVA instruction
      	                  (needs MMU enabled)
      	* zeromem: zero using usual data access
      
      Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
      
      There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
      * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
        considered device memory for data accesses).
      * Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
      
      Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
      important:
      * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
        memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
      
        Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
        zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
        compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

      Use #ifdef for IMAGE_BL* instead of #if · 3d8256b2
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      One nasty part of ATF is some of boolean macros are always defined
      as 1 or 0, and the rest of them are only defined under certain
      conditions.
      
      For the former group, "#if FOO" or "#if !FOO" must be used because
      "#ifdef FOO" is always true.  (Options passed by $(call add_define,)
      are the cases.)
      
      For the latter, "#ifdef FOO" or "#ifndef FOO" should be used because
      checking the value of an undefined macro is strange.
      
      Here, IMAGE_BL* is handled by make_helpers/build_macro.mk like
      follows:
      
        $(eval IMAGE := IMAGE_BL$(call uppercase,$(3)))
      
        $(OBJ): $(2)
                @echo "  CC      $$<"
                $$(Q)$$(CC) $$(TF_CFLAGS) $$(CFLAGS) -D$(IMAGE) -c $$< -o $$@
      
      This means, IMAGE_BL* is defined when building the corresponding
      image, but *undefined* for the other images.
      
      So, IMAGE_BL* belongs to the latter group where we should use #ifdef
      or #ifndef.

      Reset debug registers MDCR-EL3/SDCR and MDCR_EL2/HDCR · 495f3d3c
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      In order to avoid unexpected traps into EL3/MON mode, this patch
      resets the debug registers, MDCR_EL3 and MDCR_EL2 for AArch64,
      and SDCR and HDCR for AArch32.
      
      MDCR_EL3/SDCR is zero'ed when EL3/MON mode is entered, at the
      start of BL1 and BL31/SMP_MIN.
      
      For MDCR_EL2/HDCR, this patch zero's the bits that are
      architecturally UNKNOWN values on reset. This is done when
      exiting from EL3/MON mode but only on platforms that support
      EL2/HYP mode but choose to exit to EL1/SVC mode.

      Enable asynchronous abort exceptions during boot · adb4fcfb
      Gerald Lejeune authored
      
      
      Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
      not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.
      
      Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
      initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
      cold boot.
      
      A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
      being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.
      
      For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
      aborts.
      
      On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
      EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

      Initialize secondary CPUs during cold boot · 4e85e4fd
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      The previous reset code in BL1 performed the following steps in
      order:
      
      1. Warm/Cold boot detection.
         If it's a warm boot, jump to warm boot entrypoint.
      
      2. Primary/Secondary CPU detection.
         If it's a secondary CPU, jump to plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(),
         which doesn't return.
      
      3. CPU initialisations (cache, TLB...).
      
      4. Memory and C runtime initialization.
      
      For a secondary CPU, steps 3 and 4 are never reached. This shouldn't
      be a problem in most cases, since current implementations of
      plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() either panic or power down the
      secondary CPUs.
      
      The main concern is the lack of secondary CPU initialization when
      bare metal EL3 payloads are used in case they don't take care of this
      initialisation themselves.
      
      This patch moves the detection of primary/secondary CPU after step 3
      so that the CPU initialisations are performed per-CPU, while the
      memory and the C runtime initialisation are only performed on the
      primary CPU. The diagrams used in the ARM Trusted Firmware Reset
      Design documentation file have been updated to reflect the new boot
      flow.
      
      Platforms ports might be affected by this patch depending on the
      behaviour of plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(), as the state of the
      platform when entering this function will be different.

      Add descriptor based image management support in BL1 · 7baff11f
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      As of now BL1 loads and execute BL2 based on hard coded information
      provided in BL1. But due to addition of support for upcoming Firmware
      Update feature, BL1 now require more flexible approach to load and
      run different images using information provided by the platform.
      
      This patch adds new mechanism to load and execute images based on
      platform provided image id's. BL1 now queries the platform to fetch
      the image id of the next image to be loaded and executed. In order
      to achieve this, a new struct image_desc_t was added which holds the
      information about images, such as: ep_info and image_info.
      
      This patch introduces following platform porting functions:
      
      unsigned int bl1_plat_get_next_image_id(void);
      	This is used to identify the next image to be loaded
      	and executed by BL1.
      
      struct image_desc *bl1_plat_get_image_desc(unsigned int image_id);
      	This is used to retrieve the image_desc for given image_id.
      
      void bl1_plat_set_ep_info(unsigned int image_id,
      struct entry_point_info *ep_info);
      	This function allows platforms to update ep_info for given
      	image_id.
      
      The plat_bl1_common.c file provides default weak implementations of
      all above functions, the `bl1_plat_get_image_desc()` always return
      BL2 image descriptor, the `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` always return
      BL2 image ID and `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()` is empty and just returns.
      These functions gets compiled into all BL1 platforms by default.
      
      Platform setup in BL1, using `bl1_platform_setup()`, is now done
      _after_ the initialization of authentication module. This change
      provides the opportunity to use authentication while doing the
      platform setup in BL1.
      
      In order to store secure/non-secure context, BL31 uses percpu_data[]
      to store context pointer for each core. In case of BL1 only the
      primary CPU will be active hence percpu_data[] is not required to
      store the context pointer.
      
      This patch introduce bl1_cpu_context[] and bl1_cpu_context_ptr[] to
      store the context and context pointers respectively. It also also
      re-defines cm_get_context() and cm_set_context() for BL1 in
      bl1/bl1_context_mgmt.c.
      
      BL1 now follows the BL31 pattern of using SP_EL0 for the C runtime
      environment, to support resuming execution from a previously saved
      context.
      
      NOTE: THE `bl1_plat_set_bl2_ep_info()` PLATFORM PORTING FUNCTION IS
            NO LONGER CALLED BY BL1 COMMON CODE. PLATFORMS THAT OVERRIDE
            THIS FUNCTION MAY NEED TO IMPLEMENT `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()`
            INSTEAD TO MAINTAIN EXISTING BEHAVIOUR.

      Make generic code work in presence of system caches · 54dc71e7
      Achin Gupta authored
      On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
      level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
      flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
      cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
      enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
      memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
      been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
      coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
      is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
      (System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).
      
      This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
      operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
      operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
      changes:
      
      1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
         initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
         are removed.
      
      2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
         visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.
      
      3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.
      
      NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
      ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

      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
