      Add platform-independent coreboot support library · 3429c77a
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      This patch adds the foundation for a platform-independent coreboot
      support library that can be shared by all platforms that boot BL31 from
      coreboot (acting as BL2). It adds code to parse the "coreboot table", a
      data structure that coreboot uses to communicate different kinds of
      information to later-stage firmware and certain OS drivers.
      
      As a first small use case for this information, allow platforms to
      access the serial console configuration used by coreboot, removing the
      need to hardcode base address and divisors and allowing Trusted Firmware
      to benefit from coreboot's user configuration (e.g. which UART to pick
      and which baud rate to use).

      bl2-el3: Don't include BL2 in fip for BL2 at EL3 · c9b31ae8
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      It is better to not include BL2 in FIP when using `BL2 at EL3` as
      platforms using this config would not have the capability to parse the
      FIP format in Boot ROM and BL2 needs to be loaded independently. This
      patch does the required changes for the same.

      bl2-el3: Add BL2_EL3 image · b1d27b48
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      This patch enables BL2 to execute at the highest exception level
      without any dependancy on TF BL1. This enables platforms which already
      have a non-TF Boot ROM to directly load and execute BL2 and subsequent BL
      stages without need for BL1.  This is not currently possible because
      BL2 executes at S-EL1 and cannot jump straight to EL3.

      Add new function-pointer-based console API · 9536bae6
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console
      instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead
      of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init),
      consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register())
      that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console
      operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list.
      
      The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API,
      which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code
      will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but
      should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully
      be removed at some point in the future.
      
      The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and
      crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash
      console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active
      active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first
      handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane
      default upon registration that can be overridden with the
      console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism
      to this framework will be added with a later patch.
      
      This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported
      to AArch32 as well if desired.

      Enable SVE for Non-secure world · 1a853370
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      This patch adds a new build option, ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS, which when set
      to one EL3 will check to see if the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is
      implemented when entering and exiting the Non-secure world.
      
      If SVE is implemented, EL3 will do the following:
      
      - Entry to Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is enabled.
      
      - Exit from Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is
        disabled. As SIMD and FP registers are part of the SVE Z-registers
        then any use of SIMD / FP functionality would corrupt the SVE
        registers.
      
      The build option default is 1. The SVE functionality is only supported
      on AArch64 and so the build option is set to zero when the target
      archiecture is AArch32.
      
      This build option is not compatible with the CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS - an
      assert will be raised on platforms where SVE is implemented and both
      ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS and CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS are set to 1.
      
      Also note this change prevents secure world use of FP&SIMD registers on
      SVE-enabled platforms. Existing Secure-EL1 Payloads will not work on
      such platforms unless ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS is set to 0.
      
      Additionally, on the first entry into the Non-secure world the SVE
      functionality is enabled and the SVE Z-register length is set to the
      maximum size allowed by the architecture. This includes the use case
      where EL2 is implemented but not used.

      ARM platforms: Fixup AArch32 builds · 5744e874
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch fixes a couple of issues for AArch32 builds on ARM reference
      platforms :
      
      1. The arm_def.h previously defined the same BL32_BASE value for AArch64 and
         AArch32 build. Since BL31 is not present in AArch32 mode, this meant that
         the BL31 memory is empty when built for AArch32. Hence this patch allocates
         BL32 to the memory region occupied by BL31 for AArch32 builds.
      
         As a side-effect of this change, the ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION macro cannot
         be used to control the load address of BL32 in AArch32 mode which was
         never the intention of the macro anyway.
      
      2. A static assert is added to sp_min linker script to check that the progbits
         are within the bounds expected when overlaid with other images.
      
      3. Fix specifying `SPD` when building Juno for AArch32 mode. Due to the quirks
         involved when building Juno for AArch32 mode, the build option SPD needed to
         specifed. This patch corrects this and also updates the documentation in the
         user-guide.
      
      4. Exclude BL31 from the build and FIP when building Juno for AArch32 mode. As
         a result the previous assumption that BL31 must be always present is removed
         and the certificates for BL31 is only generated if `NEED_BL31` is defined.

      BL31: Introduce Exception Handling Framework · 21b818c0
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
      respective handlers in EL3.
      
      This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
      which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
      be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
      might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.
      
      The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
      priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
      programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
      Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
      associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
      priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
      framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
      programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.
      
      This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
      handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
      and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.
      
      Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
      build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.
      
      Documentation to follow.
      
      NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
      interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
      or later).

      SPM: Introduce Secure Partition Manager · 2fccb228
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
      S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
      services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
      Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
      granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
      software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
      the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:
      
      - Memory and device regions in the system address map.
      - PE system registers.
      - A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
      - A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.
      
      A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
      absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
      a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
      cannot be overly complex.
      
      The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
      Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
      responsible for the following:
      
      - Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
        and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
        Secure Partition.
      - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil service requests.
      - Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
        Partition to fulfil a service request.

      GIC: Add APIs to set interrupt type and query support · 74dce7fa
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to
      suitable group.
      
      For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which
      determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.
      
       - When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are
         meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.
      
       - Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD
         will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.
      
      The query API allows the platform to query whether the platform supports
      interrupts of a given type.
      
      API documentation updated.

      Makefile: Add ability to build dtb · 03b397a8
      Nishanth Menon authored
      This is a revamp of the original approach in:
      https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/pull/747
      
      
      
      Current build system has no means to automatically generate dtbs from
      dts, instead, stores the dtbs in the fdts/ folder. While this makes
      perfect sense for many reference platforms, this becomes a minor
      breakage in development flow for newer platforms.
      
      However, this can be solved by providing a rule for the dtbs while
      building the ATF binaries by purely describing which dts sources we
      need.
      
      For example, with this change, we will now be able to describe the
      dtbs we need for the platform in the corresponding platform.mk file:
      FDT_SOURCES += fdts/abc.dts
      
      This should be able to generate the abc.dtb appropriately.
      
      Since device trees are specification of hardware, we don't tie the rule
      to any specific BL, instead a generic rule is introduced.
      
      Further, this approach allows us to generate appropriate dtbs which may be
      need to be regenerated when a common dtsi gets updated, by just
      restricting changes to the dtsi alone, instead of synchronizing all the
      dtbs as well.
      
      If dtc is not available in default paths, but is available in an
      alternate location, it can be chosen by overriding the DTC variable
      such as 'make DTC=~/dtc/dtc ....`
      
      NOTE: dtbs are built only with the explicit make dtbs command. The rule
      is only available if the platform defines a FDT_SOURCES variable.

      CCI: Adapt for specific product at run time · e33fd445
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The current build system and driver requires the CCI product to be
      specified at build time. The device constraints can be determined at run
      time from its ID registers, obviating the need for specifying them
      ahead.
      
      This patch adds changes to identify and validate CCI at run time. Some
      global variables are renamed to be in line with the rest of the code
      base.
      
      The build option ARM_CCI_PRODUCT_ID is now removed, and user guide is
      updated.

      aarch64: Enable Statistical Profiling Extensions for lower ELs · d832aee9
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      SPE is only supported in non-secure state.  Accesses to SPE specific
      registers from SEL1 will trap to EL3.  During a world switch, before
      `TTBR` is modified the SPE profiling buffers are drained.  This is to
      avoid a potential invalid memory access in SEL1.
      
      SPE is architecturally specified only for AArch64.

      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 "..." ).

      Build: fix assert_boolean implementation · be4cd40e
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The current assert_boolean does not work with variables assigned with
      '=' flavor instead of ':='.
      
      For example,
      
       FOO = $(BAR)
       BAR := 1
      
      Here, $(value FOO) is evaluated to $(BAR), not 1.  This is not what
      we expect.  While I am here, I simplified the implementation.

      Build: Correct Unix specific echo commands · 052ab529
      Evan Lloyd authored
      
      
      Some recent changes have added direct use of the echo command without
      parameters.  This fails on a Windows shell, because echo without
      parameters reports the mode ("ECHO is on").
      This is corrected using the ECHO_BLANK_LINE macro already provided
      for that purpose.

      Build: Fix parallel build · 6ba7d274
      Evan Lloyd authored
      
      
      2 problems were found, but are in one change to avoid submitting a patch
      that might fail to build. The problems were:
      1.  The macro MAKE_PREREQ_DIR has a minor bug, in that it is capable of
          generating recursive dependencies.
      2.  The inclusion of BUILD_DIR in TEMP_OBJ_DIRS left no explicit
          dependency, BUILD_DIR might not exist when subdirectories are
          created by a thread on another CPU.
      
      This fix corrects these with the following changes:
      1.  MAKE_PREREQ_DIR does nothing for a direct self dependency.
      2.  BUILD_DIR is built using MAKE_PREREQ_DIR.
      3.  BUILD_DIR is an explicit prerequisite of all OBJ_DIRS.

      PSCI: Build option to enable D-Caches early in warmboot · bcc3c49c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
      after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
      interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
      platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
      D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#456

      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.
