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.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by disabling and enabling the MMU. To achieve this without performing any branch instruction, a per-cpu vbar is installed which executes the workaround and then branches off to the corresponding vector entry in the main vector table. A side effect of this change is that the main vbar is configured before any reset handling. This is to allow the per-cpu reset function to override the vbar setting. This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs. Change-Id: I97788d38463a5840a410e3cea85ed297a1678265 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Papastamos <dimitris.papastamos@arm.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>

When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE. This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096 is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page size.

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>

On GICv3 systems, as a side effect of adding provision to handle EL3 interrupts (unconditionally routing FIQs to EL3), pending Non-secure interrupts (signalled as FIQs) may preempt execution in lower Secure ELs [1]. This will inadvertently disrupt the semantics of Fast SMC (previously called Atomic SMC) calls. To retain semantics of Fast SMCs, the GIC PMR must be programmed to prevent Non-secure interrupts from preempting Secure execution. To that effect, two new functions in the Exception Handling Framework subscribe to events introduced in an earlier commit: - Upon 'cm_exited_normal_world', the Non-secure PMR is stashed, and the PMR is programmed to the highest Non-secure interrupt priority. - Upon 'cm_entering_normal_world', the previously stashed Non-secure PMR is restored. The above sequence however prevents Yielding SMCs from being preempted by Non-secure interrupts as intended. To facilitate this, the public API exc_allow_ns_preemption() is introduced that programs the PMR to the original Non-secure PMR value. Another API exc_is_ns_preemption_allowed() is also introduced to check if exc_allow_ns_preemption() had been called previously. API documentation to follow. [1] On GICv2 systems, this isn't a problem as, unlike GICv3, pending NS IRQs during Secure execution are signalled as IRQs, which aren't routed to EL3.

EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their respective handlers in EL3. This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs. The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller. This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities, and registering handlers for each priority range it owns. Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1. Documentation to follow. NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2 or later).

A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in the Secure World and accesses the following system resources: - Memory and device regions in the system address map. - PE system registers. - A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts. - A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers. A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation cannot be overly complex. The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is responsible for the following: - Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition. - Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a Secure Partition. - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a Secure Partition. - Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure Partition to fulfil service requests. - Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure Partition to fulfil a service request.

Some error paths that lead to a crash dump will overwrite the value in the x30 register by calling functions with the no_ret macro, which resolves to a BL instruction. This is not very useful and not what the reader would expect, since a crash dump should usually show all registers in the state they were in when the exception happened. This patch replaces the offending function calls with a B instruction to preserve the value in x30.

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>

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU after warm boot.

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-* options. A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced. It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the protection. A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is detected. To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void the protection. FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a timer's value, which could be predictable.

Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up without doing external memory access. Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated. Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply with zeromem16 requirements). Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a 8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses. Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header that are implemented this way: * AArch32: * zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access * zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem * AArch64: * zero_normalmem: zero normal memory using DC ZVA instruction (needs MMU enabled) * zeromem: zero using usual data access Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred. There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead: * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is considered device memory for data accesses). * Code that fills device memory with null bytes. Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is important: * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations. Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads the debugger back trace. This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl' instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop' instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points has been added. Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths: - Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory before entering the PSCI SMC handler. - Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before return to normal world. - Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry to a low power state which implies either standby or power down. As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface. - Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby or power up operation has completed. To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware one can perform the following calculation: (exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr). The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the frequency of the counter. Change-Id: Ie3b8f3d16409b6703747093b3a2d5c7429ad0166 Signed-off-by: dp-arm <dimitris.papastamos@arm.com>

This patch moves the invocation of `psci_setup()` from BL31 and SP_MIN into `std_svc_setup()` as part of ARM Standard Service initialization. This allows us to consolidate ARM Standard Service initializations which will be added to in the future. A new function `get_arm_std_svc_args()` is introduced to get arguments corresponding to each standard service. This function must be implemented by the EL3 Runtime Firmware and both SP_MIN and BL31 implement it. Change-Id: I38e1b644f797fa4089b20574bd4a10f0419de184

This patch introduces a `psci_lib_args_t` structure which must be passed into `psci_setup()` which is then used to initialize the PSCI library. The `psci_lib_args_t` is a versioned structure so as to enable compatibility checks during library initialization. Both BL31 and SP_MIN are modified to use the new structure. SP_MIN is also modified to add version string and build message as part of its cold boot log just like the other BLs in Trusted Firmware. NOTE: Please be aware that this patch modifies the prototype of `psci_setup()`, which breaks compatibility with EL3 Runtime Firmware (excluding BL31 and SP_MIN) integrated with the PSCI Library.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes introduced are as follows: * Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both cold and warm boots. * Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function `bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous `psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated. * The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific header. * The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime firmware using a different SMC context. NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()` is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be be aware of this change in sequence.

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.

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. Change-Id: I9f8c78347c5a52ba7027ff389791f1dad63ee5f8

At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start with their code section, followed by their read-only data section. The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of a security attack. This patch introduces a new build flag called SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of the access permissions for the code and read-only data. This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout of the read-only section has been changed in this case. - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e. the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted): | ... | +-------------------+ | Exception vectors | +-------------------+ | Read-only data | +-------------------+ | Code | +-------------------+ BLx_BASE In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole read-only section. - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This gives the following new layout (padding omitted): | ... | +-------------------+ | Read-only data | +-------------------+ | Exception vectors | +-------------------+ | Code | +-------------------+ BLx_BASE In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate access permissions. Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images. Change-Id: I936cf80164f6b66b6ad52b8edacadc532c935a49

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.

This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service. The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware. The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller indicates so. `pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving the time-stamp. `pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services. `pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions. `pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h` By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware. To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1. NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

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. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#386 Change-Id: I720cdbd7ed7f7d8516635a2ec80d025f478b95ee

This patch introduces some assembler macros to simplify the declaration of the exception vectors. It abstracts the section the exception code is put into as well as the alignments constraints mandated by the ARMv8 architecture. For all TF images, the exception code has been updated to make use of these macros. This patch also updates some invalid comments in the exception vector code.
