Cortex A77 erratum 1800714 is a Cat B erratum, present in older revisions of the Cortex A77 processor core. The workaround is to set a bit in the ECTLR_EL1 system register, which disables allocation of splintered pages in the L2 TLB. Since this is the first errata workaround implemented for Cortex A77, this patch also adds the required cortex_a77_reset_func in the file lib/cpus/aarch64/cortex_a77.S. This errata is explained in this SDEN: https://static.docs.arm.com/101992/0010/Arm_Cortex_A77_MP074_Software_Developer_Errata_Notice_v10.pdf Signed-off-by: John Powell <john.powell@arm.com> Change-Id: I844de34ee1bd0268f80794e2d9542de2f30fd3ad

Cortex A76 erratum 1791580 is a Cat B erratum present in earlier revisions of the Cortex A76.

Since commit 3bff910d ("Introduce COT build option"), it is now possible to select a different Chain of Trust than the TBBR-Client one. Make a few adjustments in the documentation to reflect that.

The TBBR documentation has been written along with an early implementation of the code. At that time, the range of supported encryption and hash algorithms was failry limited. Since then, support for other algorithms has been added in TF-A but the documentation has not been updated. Instead of listing them all, which would clutter this document while still leaving it at risk of going stale in the future, remove specific references to the original algorithms and point the reader at the relevant comprehensive document for further details.

The CPUACTLR_EL1 register on Cortex-A57 CPUs supports a bit to enable non-cacheable streaming enhancement. Platforms can set this bit only if their memory system meets the requirement that cache line fill requests from the Cortex-A57 processor are atomic. This patch adds support to enable higher performance non-cacheable load forwarding for such platforms. Platforms must enable this support by setting the 'A57_ENABLE_NONCACHEABLE_LOAD_FWD' flag from their makefiles. This flag is disabled by default.

Enables usage of ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=regs for FVP board. Removes hard-coded developer keys. Instead, setting ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_* takes keys from default directory. In case of ROT_KEY specified - generates a new hash and replaces the original. Note: Juno board was tested by original feature author and was not tested for this patch since we don't have access to the private key. Juno implementation was moved to board-specific file without changing functionality. It is not known whether byte-swapping is still needed for this platform.

Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31 between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image. Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the NOBITS region is invalidated separately.

Erratum 1688305 is a Cat B erratum present in r0p0, r0p1 versions of Hercules core.

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers these topics and maybe a couple more: - Requirements (hardware, tools, libs) - Checking out the repo - Basic build instructions - A comprehensive list of build flags - FIP packaging - Building specifically for Juno - Firmware update images - EL3 payloads - Preloaded BL33 boot flow - Running on FVPs - Running on Juno I have separated these out into a few groups that become new documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools, for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated. Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the documentation that is specific to those platforms, under docs/plat/arm.

From AArch64 state, arguments are passed in registers W0-W7(X0-X7) and results are returned in W0-W7(X0-X7) for SMC32(SMC64) calls. From AArch32 state, arguments are passed in registers R0-R7 and results are returned in registers R0-R7 for SMC32 calls. Most of the functions and macros already existed to support using upto 8 registers for passing/returning parameters/results. Added few helper macros for SMC calls from AArch32 state.

Currently links between documents are using the format: <path/to/><filename>.rst This was required for services like GitHub because they render each document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking to any other file, just provide the full path. However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so, when linking to another document, the link must point to the rendered version and not the .rst file. The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content. The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on section and sub-section titles, for example. An example of this new format, for a document with the title "Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`. One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories, without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be updated only if the title of a document changes.

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction fetches. The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary address followed by a DSB.

Make the spinlock implementation use ARMv8.1-LSE CAS instruction based on a platform build option. The CAS-based implementation used to be unconditionally selected for all ARM8.1+ platforms. The previous CAS spinlock implementation had a bug wherein the spin_unlock() implementation had an `sev` after `stlr` which is not sufficient. A dsb is needed to ensure that the stlr completes prior to the sev. Having a dsb is heavyweight and a better solution would be to use load exclusive semantics to monitor the lock and wake up from wfe when a store happens to the lock. The patch implements the same.
