      Add dynamic region support to xlat tables lib v2 · 0b64f4ef
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Added APIs to add and remove regions to the translation tables
      dynamically while the MMU is enabled. Only static regions are allowed
      to overlap other static ones (for backwards compatibility).
      
      A new private attribute (MT_DYNAMIC / MT_STATIC) has been added to
      flag each region as such.
      
      The dynamic mapping functionality can be enabled or disabled when
      compiling by setting the build option PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC to 1
      or 0. This can be done per-image.
      
      TLB maintenance code during dynamic table mapping and unmapping has
      also been added.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#310

      PSCI: Decouple PSCI stat residency calculation from PMF · 04c1db1e
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:
      
      * void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to perform accounting before entering a low power state.  This
        typically involves capturing a timestamp.
      
      * void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state.  This
        typically involves capturing a timestamp.
      
      * u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
      	const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
      	unsigned int last_cpu_index)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to calculate the PSCI stat residency.
      
      If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
      recommended that all of them are.
      
      By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled.  If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
      is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
      collection backend must be provided.  If both are set, then default
      weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
      calculate the residency.
      
      NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
      `ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
      Makefile.

      tbbr: Fix updating of Non-Trusted NV counter · d35dee23
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      The previous code required that a certificate be signed with the ROT
      key before the platform's NV counter could be updated with the value
      in the certificate.  This implies that the Non-Trusted NV counter was
      not being updated for Non-Trusted content certificates, as they cannot
      be signed with the ROT key in the TBBR CoT scheme.
      
      The code is reworked to only allow updating the platform's Trusted NV
      counter when a certificate protected by the Trusted NV counter is
      signed with the ROT key.
      
      Content certificates protected by the Non-Trusted NV counter are
      allowed to update the platform's Non-Trusted NV counter, assuming
      that the certificate value is higher than the platform's value.
      
      A new optional platform API has been introduced, named
      plat_set_nv_ctr2().  Platforms may choose to implement it and perform
      additional checks based on the authentication image descriptor before
      modifying the NV counters.  A default weak implementation is available
      that just calls into plat_set_nv_ctr().
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#426

      Add PLAT_xxx_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE definitions · 0029624f
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Added the definitions `PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` and
      `PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` which specify respectively the physical
      and virtual address space size a platform can use.
      
      `ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` is now deprecated. To maintain compatibility, if any
      of the previous defines aren't present, the value of `ADDR_SPACE_SIZE`
      will be used instead.
      
      For AArch64, register ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is checked to calculate the
      max PA supported by the hardware and to verify that the previously
      mentioned definition is valid. For AArch32, a 40 bit physical
      address space is considered.
      
      Added asserts to check for overflows.
      
      Porting guide updated.

      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.

      By default, it's defined to 128 in partition driver. But it costs a lot
      of memory, and only a few partition entries are really used in platform
      partition table. If user wants use memory efficiently, user should
      define the build flag in platform.mk instead.

      Rework type usage in Trusted Firmware · 4c0d0390
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
      to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
      type usage are as listed below:
      
      * Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
      * Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
      * Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
        whether AArch64 or AArch32.
      * Use generic C types where-ever possible.
      
      In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
      in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
      related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

      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.

      Allow dynamic overriding of ROTPK verification · 04943d33
      Soby Mathew authored
      A production ROM with TBB enabled must have the ability to boot test software
      before a real ROTPK is deployed (e.g. manufacturing mode). Previously the

      This patch adds an additional bit `ROTPK_NOT_DEPLOYED` in the output `flags`
      parameter from plat_get_rotpk_info(). If this bit is set, then the ROTPK
      in certificate is used without verifying against the platform value.

      TBB: add non-volatile counter support · 48279d52
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds support for non-volatile counter authentication to
      the Authentication Module. This method consists of matching the
      counter values provided in the certificates with the ones stored
      in the platform. If the value from the certificate is lower than
      the platform, the boot process is aborted. This mechanism protects
      the system against rollback.
      
      The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
      authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
      world images and another for the non trusted world images.
      
      ** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **
      
      int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);
      
          This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
          in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
          used to select the counter in case the platform provides
          more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
          trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
          in the CoT.
      
      int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);
      
          This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
          used to select the counter to be updated.
      
      An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
      provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
      Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
      This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
      must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
      have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.
      
      ** IMPORTANT **
      
      THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
      NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
      ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.

      Simplify Firmware Design document · eaefdecd
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The Firmware Design document is meant to provide a general overview
      of the Trusted Firmware code. Although it is useful to provide some
      guidance around the responsibilities of the platform layer, it should
      not provide too much platform specific implementation details. Right
      now, some sections are too tied to the implementation on ARM
      platforms. This makes the Firmware Design document harder to digest.
      
      This patch simplifies this aspect of the Firmware Design document.
      The sections relating the platform initialisations performed by the
      different BL stages have been simplified and the extra details about
      the ARM platforms implementation have been moved to the Porting Guide
      when appropriate.
      
      This patch also provides various documentation fixes and additions
      in the Firmware Design and Platform Porting Guide. In particular:
      
       - Update list of SMCs supported by BL1.
      
       - Remove MMU setup from architectural inits, as it is actually
         performed by platform code.
      
       - Similarly, move runtime services initialisation, BL2 image
         initialization and BL33 execution out of the platform
         initialisation paragraph.
      
       - List SError interrupt unmasking as part of BL1 architectural
         initialization.
      
       - Mention Trusted Watchdog enabling in BL1 on ARM platforms.
      
       - Fix order of steps in "BL2 image load and execution" section.
      
       - Refresh section about GICv3/GICv2 drivers initialisation on
         ARM platforms.

      Remove all non-configurable dead loops · 1c3ea103
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
      platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
      implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
      is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
      spins.
      
      Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
      instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
      call to panic().
      
      All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
      been removed.

      Porting guide: Clarify API that don't follow AAPCS · e5846732
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      This patch clarifies a porting API in the Porting Guide that do not
      follow the ARM Architecture Program Calling Standards (AAPCS). The
      list of registers that are allowed to be clobbered by this API has
      been updated in the Porting Guide.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#259

      Enable preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow · cf2c8a33
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Enable alternative boot flow where BL2 does not load BL33 from
      non-volatile storage, and BL31 hands execution over to a preloaded
      BL33.
      
      The flag used to enable this bootflow is BL33_BASE, which must hold
      the entrypoint address of the BL33 image. The User Guide has been
      updated with an example of how to use this option with a bootwrapped
      kernel.

      Porting Guide: Clarify identity-mapping requirement · ef7fb9e4
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      The memory translation library in Trusted Firmware supports
      non-identity mappings for Physical to Virtual addresses since commit
      f984ce84. However, the porting guide hasn't been updated
      accordingly and still mandates the platform ports to use
      identity-mapped page tables for all addresses.
      
      This patch removes this out-dated information from the Porting Guide
      and clarifies in which circumstances non-identity mapping may safely
      be used.

      Disable PL011 UART before configuring it · 9400b40e
      Juan Castillo authored
      The PL011 TRM (ARM DDI 0183G) specifies that the UART must be
      disabled before any of the control registers are programmed. The
      PL011 driver included in TF does not disable the UART, so the
      initialization in BL2 and BL31 is violating this requirement
      (and potentially in BL1 if the UART is enabled after reset).
      
      This patch modifies the initialization function in the PL011
      console driver to disable the UART before programming the
      control registers.
      
      Register clobber list and documentation updated.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#300

      Documentation updates for the new GIC drivers · 81123e82
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch updates the relevant documentation in ARM Trusted Firmware
      for the new GIC drivers. The user-guide.md and porting-guide.md have been
      updated as follows:
      
      *  The build option to compile Trusted Firmware with different GIC drivers
         for FVP has been explained in the user-guide.md.
      
      *  The implementation details of interrupt management framework porting
         APIs for GICv3 have been added in porting-guide.md.
      
      *  The Linaro tracking kernel release does not work OOB in GICv3 mode.
         The instructions for changing UEFI configuration in order to run with
         the new GICv3 driver in ARM TF have been added to user-guide.md.
      
      The interrupt-framework-design.md has been updated as follows:
      
      *  Describes support for registering and handling interrupts targeted to EL3
         e.g. Group 0 interrupts in GICv3.
      
      *  Describes the build option `TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT` in detail.
      
      *  Describes preemption of TSP in S-EL1 by non secure interrupts and
         also possibly by higher priority EL3 interrupts.
      
      *  Describes the normal world sequence for issuing `standard` SMC calls.
      
      *  Modifies the document to correspond to the current state of interrupt
         handling in TSPD and TSP.
      
      *  Modifies the various functions names in the document to reflect
         the current names used in code.
