      fiptool: support --align option to add desired alignment to image offset · 1c75d5df
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
      them.  So, the offset to each image has no alignment.  This is not
      efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
      device.
      
      For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing.  The block size
      is 512 byte.  So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
      since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
      address directly.  The worst case is the offset does not have even
      DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now).  In this case,
      we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
      from the bounce buffer to our final destination.  At least, this
      should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
      CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.
      
      This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool.  This option,
      if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
      by the specified byte.  Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
      easier access to this feature; users can give something like
      FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
      their platform.mk file.

      checkpatch: Fix regular expressions · 55cdcf75
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      When generating the list of files to check by checkpatch.pl, the list
      generated by `git ls-files` is filtered by a regular expression with
      grep. Due to a malformed regex, the dot of `.md` was considered a
      wildcard instead of a dot. This patch fixes this so that it matches
      only dots, thus allowing the two following files to be checked:
      
      * tools/cert_create/include/cmd_opt.h
      * tools/cert_create/src/cmd_opt.c
      
      Also extended the list of library directories to check by checkpatch
      to exclude any folder starting with libfdt.

      Fix format of patches passed to checkpatch · c626311e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Checkpatch is a script developed to verify the style of Linux kernel
      patches. As Kernel developers use emails to send patches for review,
      checkpatch is prepared for that specific format. This change adapts
      the Makefile to use said format.
      
      As a result, indentation in the commit message has been removed, thus
      fixing the warnings about Signed-off-by lines being preceded by
      whitespace.

      Add PMF instrumentation points in TF · 872be88a
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
      implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
      has been added.
      
      Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:
      
      - Entry to PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured as early
        as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
        before entering the PSCI SMC handler.
      
      - Exit from PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured after
        normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
        was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
        return to normal world.
      
      - Entry to low power state.  The timestamp is captured before entry
        to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
        As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
        is defined to describe both.  It is possible to differentiate between
        the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.
      
      - Exit from low power state.  The timestamp is captured after a standby
        or power up operation has completed.
      
      To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
      one can perform the following calculation:
      
      (exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).
      
      The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
      frequency of the counter.

      AArch32: Common changes needed for BL1/BL2 · 1a0a3f06
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds common changes to support AArch32 state in
      BL1 and BL2. Following are the changes:
      
      * Added functions for disabling MMU from Secure state.
      * Added AArch32 specific SMC function.
      * Added semihosting support.
      * Added reporting of unhandled exceptions.
      * Added uniprocessor stack support.
      * Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
        shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
        `el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
        counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
        instructions and the registers that are relevant to
        AArch32 execution state.
      * Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
        `ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
        platform has not overridden to disable it.

      Add new version of image loading. · 72600226
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
      descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
      This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
      by any BL stage that needs to load images.
      
      In order to provide the above capability the following new
      platform functions are introduced:
      
        bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
          This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
          platform has populated to load.
      
        bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
          This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
          platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
          information that next BL image needs.
      
        void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
          This function flushes to main memory all the params that
          are passed to next image.
      
        int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
          This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
          image information for given `image_id`.
      
      `desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
      by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
      based on the registered image descriptors.
      
      This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
      functions in-order to achieve the above capability.
      
      Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
        - Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
          arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
          through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
          limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
          and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
          the extent of free memory for the given BL image.
      
        - Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
          This is needed because the image size could come from an
          unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
          To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
          struct for identifying the image maximum size.
      
      New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
      Default value is 0.
      
      NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
            `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

      This patch adds the essential AArch32 architecture helpers
      arch.h and arch_helpers.h and modifies `_types.h` to add AArch32
      support.
      
      A new build option `ARCH` is defined in the top level makefile to
      enable the component makefiles to choose the right files based on the
      Architecture it is being build for. Depending on this flag, either
      `AARCH32` or `AARCH64` flag is defined by the Makefile. The default
      value of `ARCH` flag is `aarch64`. The AArch32 build support will be
      added in a later patch.

      Replace fip_create with fiptool · 819281ee
      dp-arm authored
      fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
      the fip_create program.  It serves as a better base to build on more
      features in the future.
      
      fiptool supports various subcommands.  Below are the currently
      supported subcommands:
      
      1) info   - List the images contained in a FIP file.
      2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
      3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
      4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
      5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file.  This is a new command that
         was not present in fip_create.
      
      To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
      
      To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
      
      To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
      "fiptool info".
      
      A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
      fip_create is provided.  Existing scripts might or might not work with
      the compatibility script.  Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
      fiptool.

      Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries · 532ed618
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
      management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
      `el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
      BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
      PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
      are done as part of this patch are:
      
      * The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
        enable reuse.
      * The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
        specific folder.
      * The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
        to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
        just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.
      
      Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
      changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.
      
      NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
      THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
      MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

      Introduce SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA build flag · 5d1c104f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
      with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
      The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
      code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
      a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
      attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
      read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
      executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
      a security attack.
      
      This patch introduces a new build flag called
      SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
      on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
      the access permissions for the code and read-only data.
      
      This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
      introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
      segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
      of the read-only section has been changed in this case.
      
       - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
         the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):
      
         |        ...        |
         +-------------------+
         | Exception vectors |
         +-------------------+
         |  Read-only data   |
         +-------------------+
         |       Code        |
         +-------------------+ BLx_BASE
      
         In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
         read-only section.
      
       - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
         read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
         vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
         gives the following new layout (padding omitted):
      
         |        ...        |
         +-------------------+
         |  Read-only data   |
         +-------------------+
         | Exception vectors |
         +-------------------+
         |       Code        |
         +-------------------+ BLx_BASE
      
         In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
         instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
         data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
         provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
         layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
         access permissions.
      
      Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.

      Add optional PSCI STAT residency & count functions · 170fb93d
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions:
      
      - PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent
        in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the
        `target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`.
      
      - PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a
        `power_state` has been used by the node represented by the
        `target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`.
      
      These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
      been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0
      of the PSCI specification.
      
      By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
      implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
      `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

      Add Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) · a31d8983
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
      ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
      SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.
      
      The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
      time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
      providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
      The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
      maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
      indicates so.
      
      `pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
      registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
      the time-stamp.
      `pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
      `pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
      providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
      `pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`
      
      By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
      To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
      
      NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
      maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
      before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

      At the moment, the top Makefile specifies the options to pass to the
      checkpatch script in order to check the coding style. The checkpatch
      script also supports reading its options from a configuration file
      rather than from the command line.
      
      This patch makes use of this feature and moves the checkpatch options
      out of the Makefile. This simplifies the Makefile and makes things
      clearer.
      
      This patch also adds some more checkpatch options:
        --showfile
        --ignore FILE_PATH_CHANGES
        --ignore AVOID_EXTERNS
        --ignore NEW_TYPEDEFS
        --ignore VOLATILE
      The rationale behind each of these options has been documented
      in the configuration file.

      Build option to include AArch32 registers in cpu context · 8cd16e6b
      Soby Mathew authored
      The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
      AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
      DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
      AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
      least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
      introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
      include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
      this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
      must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to
      verify this.

      Give user's compiler flags precedence over default ones · 403973c9
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The user can provide additional CFLAGS to use when building TF.
      However, these custom CFLAGS are currently prepended to the
      standard CFLAGS that are hardcoded in the TF build system. This
      is an issue because when providing conflicting compiler flags
      (e.g. different optimisations levels like -O1 and -O0), the last
      one on the command line usually takes precedence. This means that
      the user flags get overriden.
      
      To address this problem, this patch separates the TF CFLAGS from
      the user CFLAGS. The former are now stored in the TF_CFLAGS make
      variable, whereas the CFLAGS make variable is untouched and reserved
      for the user. The order of the 2 sets of flags is enforced when
      invoking the compiler.

      To avoid confusion the build option BL33_BASE has been renamed to

      Remove BL32_BASE when building without SPD for FVP · 81d139d5
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Previously, when building TF without SPD support, BL2 tried to load a
      BL32 image from the FIP and fails to find one, which resulted on
      warning messages on the console. Even if there is a BL32 image in the
      FIP it shouldn't be loaded because there is no way to transfer
      control to the Secure Payload without SPD support.
      
      The Makefile has been modified to pass a define of the form
      SPD_${SPD} to the source code the same way it's done for PLAT. The
      define SPD_none is then used to undefine BL32_BASE when BL32 is not
      used to prevent BL2 from trying to load a BL32 image and failing,
      thus removing the warning messages mentioned above.

      Make:Allow for extension in tool names. · 42a45b51

      In some build environments executable programs have a specific file
      extension.  The value of BIN_EXT is appended to the relevant tool file

      The value of BIN_EXT is set, where appropriate, by the build environment
      specific make helper (to .exe for Windows build environments).
      
      .gitignore is updated to hide the new (.exe) files.

      Make:Make shell commands more portable · f1477d4a
      Evan Lloyd authored
      Macros are inserted to replace direct invocations of commands that are
      problematic on some build environments. (e.g. Some environments expect
      \ in paths instead of /.)
      The changes take into account mismatched command mappings across
      environments.
      The new helper file unix.mk retains existing makefile behaviour on unix
      like build environments by providing the following macro definitions:
        SHELL_COPY        cp -f
        SHELL_COPY_TREE   cp -rf
        SHELL_DELETE      rm -f

      Evan Lloyd authored
      As an initial stage of making Trusted Firmware build environment more
      portable, we remove most uses of the $(shell ) function and replace them
      with more portable make function based solutions.
      
      Note that the setting of BUILD_STRING still uses $(shell ) since it's
      not possible to reimplement this as a make function. Avoiding invocation
      of this on incompatible host platforms will be implemented separately.

      Compile stdlib C files individually · 191a0088
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      All C files of stdlib were included into std.c, which was the file
      that the Makefile actually compiled. This is a poor way of compiling
      all the files and, while it may work fine most times, it's
      discouraged.
      
      In this particular case, each C file included its own headers, which
      were later included into std.c. For example, this caused problems
      because a duplicated typedef of u_short in both subr_prf.c and
      types.h. While that may require an issue on its own, this kind of
      problems are avoided if all C files are as independent as possible.

      Disable non-temporal hint on Cortex-A53/57 · 54035fc4
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
      Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
      most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
      that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
      0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
      and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.
      
      This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
      A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
      to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
      enabled by default.
      
      The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
      workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
      generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
      case as well.
