      Add support for GCC stack protection · 51faada7
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      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 unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      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.

      Introduce SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA build flag · 5d1c104f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      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.

      Add Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) · a31d8983
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      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.

      Fix relocation of __PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__ · 7173f5f6
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      When a platform port does not define PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE, the total
      memory that should be allocated per-cpu to accommodate all bakery locks is
      calculated by the linker in bl31.ld.S. The linker stores this value in the
      __PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__ linker symbol. The runtime value of this symbol is
      different from the link time value as the symbol is relocated into the current
      section (.bss). This patch fixes this issue by marking the symbol as ABSOLUTE
      which allows it to retain its correct value even at runtime.
      
      The description of PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE in the porting-guide.md has been
      made clearer as well.

      Make generic code work in presence of system caches · 54dc71e7
      Achin Gupta authored
      On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
      level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
      flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
      cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
      enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
      memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
      been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
      coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
      is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
      (System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).
      
      This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
      operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
      operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
      changes:
      
      1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
         initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
         are removed.
      
      2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
         visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.
      
      3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.
      
      NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
      ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

      Re-design bakery lock memory allocation and algorithm · ee7b35c4
      Andrew Thoelke authored
      This patch unifies the bakery lock api's across coherent and normal
      memory implementation of locks by using same data type `bakery_lock_t`
      and similar arguments to functions.
      
      A separate section `bakery_lock` has been created and used to allocate
      memory for bakery locks using `DEFINE_BAKERY_LOCK`. When locks are
      allocated in normal memory, each lock for a core has to spread
      across multiple cache lines. By using the total size allocated in a
      separate cache line for a single core at compile time, the memory for
      other core locks is allocated at link time by multiplying the single
      core locks size with (PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1). The normal memory lock
      algorithm now uses lock address instead of the `id` in the per_cpu_data.
      For locks allocated in coherent memory, it moves locks from
      tzfw_coherent_memory to bakery_lock section.
      
      The bakery locks are allocated as part of bss or in coherent memory
      depending on usage of coherent memory. Both these regions are
      initialised to zero as part of run_time_init before locks are used.
      Hence, bakery_lock_init() is made an empty function as the lock memory
      is already initialised to zero.
      
      The above design lead to the removal of psci bakery locks from
      non_cpu_power_pd_node to psci_locks.
      
      NOTE: THE BAKERY LOCK API WHEN USE_COHERENT_MEM IS NOT SET HAS CHANGED.
      THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT ALLOCATE BAKERY
      LOCKS IN NORMAL MEMORY.

      FVP common definitions are defined in fvp_def.h while platform_def.h
      contains exclusively (with a few exceptions) the definitions that are

      fvp: Reuse BL1 and BL2 memory through image overlaying · a1b6db6c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the
      BL3-2 image as much memory as possible.
      
      Considering these two facts:
       - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once
         in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed.
       - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the
         PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the
         NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x
         images;
      Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that
      the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2.
      
      On FVP we choose to put:
       - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS
         sections overlaying BL1;
       - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections
         overlaying BL2;
      
      This is illustrated by the following diagram:
      
      0x0404_0000 ------------    ------------------
                  |   BL1    | <= |  BL3-1 NOBITS  |
                  ------------ <= ------------------
                  |          | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS |
                  ------------    ------------------
                  |   BL2    | <= |  BL3-2 NOBITS  |
                  ------------ <= ------------------
                  |          | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS |
      0x0400_0000 ------------    ------------------
      
      New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check
      at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite
      BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define
      them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check
      image overlaying.

      Make the memory layout more flexible · a37255a2
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Currently the platform code gets to define the base address of each
      boot loader image. However, the linker scripts couteract this
      flexibility by enforcing a fixed overall layout of the different
      images. For example, they require that the BL3-1 image sits below
      the BL2 image. Choosing BL3-1 and BL2 base addresses in such a way
      that it violates this constraint makes the build fail at link-time.
      
      This patch requires the platform code to now define a limit address
      for each image. The linker scripts check that the image fits within
      these bounds so they don't rely anymore on the position of a given
      image in regard to the others.

      Specify image entry in linker script · 9f98aa1a
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      At present, the entry point for each BL image is specified via the
      Makefiles and provided on the command line to the linker. When using a
      link script the entry point should rather be specified via the ENTRY()
      directive in the link script.
      
      This patch updates linker scripts of all BL images to specify the entry
      point using the ENTRY() directive. It also removes the --entry flag
      passed to the linker through Makefile.
      
      Fixes issue ARM-software/tf-issues#66

      Remove duplicate xlat_table descriptions · e3fff153
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      The BL31 and BL2 linker scripts ended up having duplicate descriptions
      for xlat_tables section. This patch removes those duplicate
      descriptions.

      Factor out translation table setup in ARM FVP port · a0cd989d
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch factors out the ARM FVP specific code to create MMU
      translation tables so that it is possible for a boot loader stage to
      create a different set of tables instead of using the default ones.
      The default translation tables are created with the assumption that
      the calling boot loader stage executes out of secure SRAM. This might
      not be true for the BL3_2 stage in the future.
      
      A boot loader stage can define the `fill_xlation_tables()` function as
      per its requirements. It returns a reference to the level 1
      translation table which is used by the common platform code to setup
      the TTBR_EL3.
      
      This patch is a temporary solution before a larger rework of
      translation table creation logic is introduced.

      Add runtime services framework · 7421b465
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch introduces the framework to enable registration and
      initialisation of runtime services. PSCI is registered and initialised
      as a runtime service. Handling of runtime service requests will be
      implemented in subsequent patches.

      Setup VBAR_EL3 incrementally · b739f22a
      Achin Gupta authored
      This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
      'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
      use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
      'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.
      
      This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
      and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
      will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

      Move translation tables into separate section · 74cbb839
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      This patch moves the translation tables into their own section. This
      saves space that would otherwise have been lost in padding due to page
      table alignment constraints. The BL31 and BL32 bases have been
      consequently adjusted.

      Various improvements/cleanups on the linker scripts · 8d69a03f
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
        - Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
          at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
        - Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
        - Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
          code to know the order of sections.
        - Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
          out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
          possible.
        - Rework alignment constraints on sections.
        - Remove unused linker symbols.
        - Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
        - Add some comments in the linker scripts.
