This patch provides the following features and makes modifications listed below: - Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU. - New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event. - Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[] of cpu_data structure. - `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()` which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter value to increase the randomness of the generated key. The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys - ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`. - New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively; pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively; `pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from cpu-data structure. - Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to `save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`; `restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()` and `restore_gp_registers()` calls. - `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding code placed in `el3_exit()`. - Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h` and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END. - Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions in `msr spsel` instruction instead of hard-coded values. - Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

This patch adds support for the new Memory Tagging Extension arriving in ARMv8.5. MTE support is now enabled by default on systems that support at EL0. To enable it at ELx for both the non-secure and the secure world, the compiler flag CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS includes register saving and restoring when necessary in order to prevent register leakage between the worlds.

This patch fixes an issue when secure world timing information can be leaked because Secure Cycle Counter is not disabled. For ARMv8.5 the counter gets disabled by setting MDCR_El3.SCCD bit on CPU cold/warm boot. For the earlier architectures PMCR_EL0 register is saved/restored on secure world entry/exit from/to Non-secure state, and cycle counting gets disabled by setting PMCR_EL0.DP bit. 'include\aarch64\arch.h' header file was tided up and new ARMv8.5-PMU related definitions were added.

NOTE: __ASSEMBLY__ macro is now deprecated in favor of __ASSEMBLER__. All common C compilers predefine a macro called __ASSEMBLER__ when preprocessing a .S file. There is no reason for TF-A to define it's own __ASSEMBLY__ macro for this purpose instead. To unify code with the export headers (which use __ASSEMBLER__ to avoid one extra dependency), let's deprecate __ASSEMBLY__ and switch the code base over to the predefined standard.

ARMv8.3-PAuth adds functionality that supports address authentication of the contents of a register before that register is used as the target of an indirect branch, or as a load. This feature is supported only in AArch64 state. This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.3 implementations. This feature adds several registers to EL1. A new option called CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS has been added to select if the TF needs to save them during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches. This option must be enabled if the hardware has the registers or the values will be leaked during world switches. To prevent leaks, this patch also disables pointer authentication in the Secure world if CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS is 0. Any attempt to use it will be trapped in EL3.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths. The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged: - include/lib/cpus/${ARCH} - include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH} The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two of them). For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support"). This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339 ("Move include and source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that this creates problems. Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

When dynamic mitigation is used, the SDEI handler is required to execute with the mitigation enabled by default, regardless of the mitigation state for lower ELs. This means that if the kernel or hypervisor explicitly disables the mitigation and then later when the event is dispatched, the dispatcher will remember the mitigation state for the lower ELs but force the mitigation to be on during the SDEI handler execution. When the SDEI handler returns, it will restore the mitigation state. This behaviour is described in "Firmware interfaces for mitigating cache speculation vulnerabilities System Software on Arm Systems"[0].

Some CPUS may benefit from using a dynamic mitigation approach for CVE-2018-3639. A new SMC interface is defined to allow software executing in lower ELs to enable or disable the mitigation for their execution context. It should be noted that regardless of the state of the mitigation for lower ELs, code executing in EL3 is always mitigated against CVE-2018-3639. NOTE: This change is a compatibility break for any platform using the declare_cpu_ops_workaround_cve_2017_5715 macro. Migrate to the declare_cpu_ops_wa macro instead.

At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to handle External Aborts routed to EL3. With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition of the said function that prints out a message and just panics. In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1. Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to compilation; this patch fixes that too.

In the initial implementation of this workaround we used a dedicated workaround context to save/restore state. This patch reduces the footprint as no additional context is needed. Additionally, this patch reduces the memory loads and stores by 20%, reduces the instruction count and exploits static branch prediction to optimize the SMC path.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the `BPIALL` instruction. This is achieved by using 3 vector tables. There is the runtime vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional tables which are required to implement this workaround. The additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`. The sequence of events for handling a single exception is as follows: 1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled. This is the default vector table. 2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to another vector table `vbar1`. This is required to restore EL3 state when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3 exception handling. 3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an SMC call back to EL3 is performed. 4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is restored. The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to handle further exceptions. Finally a branch to the runtime vector table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original exception. This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs. NOTE ==== There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1. Each stub corresponds to an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError. Each stub will move a different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3. Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

Factor out SPE operations in a separate file. Use the publish subscribe framework to drain the SPE buffers before entering secure world. Additionally, enable SPE before entering normal world. A side effect of this change is that the profiling buffers are now only drained when a transition from normal world to secure world happens. Previously they were drained also on return from secure world, which is unnecessary as SPE is not supported in S-EL1.

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped to AArch32 system register FPEXC. This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1. The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers. NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32 Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore this register Change-Id: Iab80abcbfe302752d52b323b4abcc334b585c184 Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

Currently TF does not initialise the PMCR_EL0 register in the secure context or save/restore the register. In particular, the DP field may not be set to one to prohibit cycle counting in the secure state, even though event counting generally is prohibited via the default setting of MDCR_EL3.SMPE to 0. This patch initialises PMCR_EL0.DP to one in the secure state to prohibit cycle counting and also initialises other fields that have an architectually UNKNOWN reset value. Additionally, PMCR_EL0 is added to the list of registers that are saved and restored during a world switch. Similar changes are made for PMCR for the AArch32 execution state. NOTE: secure world code at lower ELs that assume other values in PMCR_EL0 will be impacted. Change-Id: Iae40e8c0a196d74053accf97063ebc257b4d2f3a Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

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.

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.

This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are: * cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence it need not be saved to cpu_context. * cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to modify the access controls during normal execution and hence they are expected to remain static.

This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2. The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend. Change-Id: I8357e2eb5eb6c5f448492c5094b82b8927603784

At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is unnecessary. This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore them. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#148 Change-Id: I1b9d623606acb9797c3e0b02fb5ec7c0a414f37e

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.

Previously exception handlers in BL3-1, X19-X29 were not saved and restored on every SMC/trap into EL3. Instead these registers were 'saved as needed' as a side effect of the A64 ABI used by the C compiler. That approach failed when world switching but was not visible with the TSP/TSPD code because the TSP is 64-bit, did not clobber these registers when running and did not support pre-emption by normal world interrupts. These scenarios showed that the values in these registers can be passed through a world switch, which broke the normal and trusted world assumptions about these registers being preserved. The Ideal solution saves and restores these registers when a world switch occurs - but that type of implementation is more complex. So this patch always saves and restores these registers on entry and exit of EL3. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#141 Change-Id: I9a727167bbc594454e81cf78a97ca899dfb11c27

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.

This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are inter-related. It does the following: 1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one 2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks. 3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context' structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL. 4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context' structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL 5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a runtime service Change-Id: I661797f834c0803d2c674d20f504df1b04c2b852 Co-authored-by: Achin Gupta <achin.gupta@arm.com>

This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for: 1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones on the exception stack 2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit. SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers (x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly. Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change, the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches. Change-Id: Ice418686592990ff7a4260771e8d6676e6c8c5ef
