This patch renames symbols and files relating to CVE-2017-5715 to make it easier to introduce new symbols and files for new CVE mitigations. Change-Id: I24c23822862ca73648c772885f1690bed043dbc7 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Papastamos <dimitris.papastamos@arm.com>

When querying `SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1` through `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES`, return either: * -1 to indicate the PE on which `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES` is called requires firmware mitigation for CVE-2017-5715 but the mitigation is not compiled in. * 0 to indicate that firmware mitigation is required, or * 1 to indicate that no firmware mitigation is required. This patch complies with v1.2 of the firmware interfaces specification (ARM DEN 0070A).

If the CSV2 field reads as 1 then branch targets trained in one context cannot affect speculative execution in a different context. In that case skip the workaround on Cortex A72 and A73.

This patch also fixes the assumption that the counters are disabled on the resume path. This is incorrect as the AMU counters are enabled early in the CPU reset function before `cpuamu_context_restore()` runs.

Even though the workaround for CVE-2017-5715 is not a CPU erratum, the code is piggybacking on the errata framework to print whether the workaround was applied, missing or not needed.

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.

The Cortex A75 has 5 AMU counters. The first three counters are fixed and the remaining two are programmable. A new build option is introduced, `ENABLE_AMU`. When set, the fixed counters will be enabled for use by lower ELs. The programmable counters are currently disabled.

Both Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 CPUs use the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU). The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly managed in hardware, and required software operations are considerably simpler.
