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.

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.

Pointer authentication is an Armv8.3 feature that introduces instructions that can be used to authenticate and verify pointers. Pointer authentication instructions are allowed to be accessed from all ELs but only when EL3 explicitly allows for it; otherwise, their usage will trap to EL3. Since EL3 doesn't have trap handling in place, this patch unconditionally disables all related traps to EL3 to avoid potential misconfiguration leading to an unhandled EL3 exception.

This patch fixes a bug in the context management code that causes it to ignore the HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST compile-time option and instead always configure SCR_EL3 to force all external aborts to trap into EL3. The code used #ifdef to read compile-time option declared with add_define in the Makefile... however, those options are always defined, they're just defined to either 0 or 1, so #if is the correct syntax to check for them. Also update the documentation to match. This bug has existed since the Nov 2017 commit 76454abf (AArch64: Introduce External Abort handling), which changed the HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST option to use add_define.

Memory Partitioning And Monitoring is an Armv8.4 feature that enables various memory system components and resources to define partitions. Software running at various ELs can then assign themselves to the desired partition to control their performance aspects. With this patch, when ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS is set to 1, EL3 allows lower ELs to access their own MPAM registers without trapping to EL3. This patch however doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3; platform initialisation code should configure and use partitions in EL3 if required.

The context management library initialises the CPU context for the secure/non-secure worlds to zero. This leads to zeros being stored to the actual registers when we restore the CPU context, during a world switch. Denver CPUs dont expect zero to be written to the implementation defined, actlr_el1 register, at any point of time. Writing a zero to some fields of this register, results in an UNDEFINED exception. This patch bases the context actlr_el1 value on the actual hardware register, to maintain parity with the expected settings Change-Id: I1c806d7ff12daa7fd1e5c72825494b81454948f2 Signed-off-by: Varun Wadekar <vwadekar@nvidia.com>

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. Change-Id: Ie2d733ddaba0b9bef1d7c9765503155188fe7dae Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

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.

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 updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware to set the reset values. The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower EL. This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1. This patch also corrects the following typos: "NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions" Change-Id: Ia8940b8351dc27bc09e2138b011e249655041cfc Signed-off-by: David Cunado <david.cunado@arm.com>

Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized structure by applying the following transformation: memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x)) As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32 and AArch64.

One nasty part of ATF is some of boolean macros are always defined as 1 or 0, and the rest of them are only defined under certain conditions. For the former group, "#if FOO" or "#if !FOO" must be used because "#ifdef FOO" is always true. (Options passed by $(call add_define,) are the cases.) For the latter, "#ifdef FOO" or "#ifndef FOO" should be used because checking the value of an undefined macro is strange. Here, IMAGE_BL* is handled by make_helpers/build_macro.mk like follows: $(eval IMAGE := IMAGE_BL$(call uppercase,$(3))) $(OBJ): $(2) @echo " CC $$<" $$(Q)$$(CC) $$(TF_CFLAGS) $$(CFLAGS) -D$(IMAGE) -c $$< -o $$@ This means, IMAGE_BL* is defined when building the corresponding image, but *undefined* for the other images. So, IMAGE_BL* belongs to the latter group where we should use #ifdef or #ifndef. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

This patch resets EL2 and EL3 registers that have architecturally UNKNOWN values on reset and that also provide EL2/EL3 configuration and trap controls. Specifically, the EL2 physical timer is disabled to prevent timer interrups into EL2 - CNTHP_CTL_EL2 and CNTHP_CTL for AArch64 and AArch32, respectively. Additionally, for AArch64, HSTR_EL2 is reset to avoid unexpected traps of non-secure access to certain system registers at EL1 or lower. For AArch32, the patch also reverts the reset to SDCR which was incorrectly added in a previous change.

In order to avoid unexpected traps into EL3/MON mode, this patch resets the debug registers, MDCR_EL3 and MDCR_EL2 for AArch64, and SDCR and HDCR for AArch32. MDCR_EL3/SDCR is zero'ed when EL3/MON mode is entered, at the start of BL1 and BL31/SMP_MIN. For MDCR_EL2/HDCR, this patch zero's the bits that are architecturally UNKNOWN values on reset. This is done when exiting from EL3/MON mode but only on platforms that support EL2/HYP mode but choose to exit to EL1/SVC mode.

The values of CP15BEN, nTWI & nTWE bits in SCTLR_EL1 are architecturally unknown if EL3 is AARCH64 whereas they reset to 1 if EL3 is AArch32. This might be a compatibility break for legacy AArch32 normal world software if these bits are not set to 1 when EL3 is AArch64. This patch enables the CP15BEN, nTWI and nTWE bits in the SCTLR_EL1 if the lower non-secure EL is AArch32.

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.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set. Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during cold boot. A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not. For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external aborts. On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

In the situation that EL1 is selected as the exception level for the next image upon BL31 exit for a processor that supports EL2, the context management code must configure all essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. VTTBR_EL2 should be part of this set of EL2 registers because: - The ARMv8-A architecture does not define a reset value for this register. - Cache maintenance operations depend on VTTBR_EL2.VMID even when non-secure EL1&0 stage 2 address translation are disabled. This patch initializes the VTTBR_EL2 register to 0 when bypassing EL2 to address this issue. Note that this bug has not yet manifested itself on FVP or Juno because VTTBR_EL2.VMID resets to 0 on the Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. Change-Id: I58ce2d16a71687126f437577a506d93cb5eecf33

This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default. When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error. Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set. NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer trigger a build error.

This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management helpers based on core position are as described below: * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing 'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1) if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON. Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized. This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call this API before the topology setup has been done. The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime. Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR, this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform ports later in the patch stack. * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack() These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and 'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version of these APIs are provided for the platforms. * Context management helpers based on linear core position A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(), cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index() are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new framework is done.
