      Suppress spurious deprecated declaration warnings · 97924e45
      Dan Handley authored
      
      
      Some generic compatibility functions emit deprecated declaration warnings
      even when platforms do not use the deprecated functions directly. This
      can be confusing. Suppress these warnings by using:
      `#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"`
      
      Also emit a runtime warning if the weak plat/common implemntation of
      plat_get_syscnt_freq2() is used, as this implies the platform has not
      migrated from plat_get_syscnt_freq(). The deprecated  declaration warnings
      only help detect when platforms are calling deprecated functions, not when
      they are defining deprecated functions.

      EHF: Introduce preempted return code parameter to ehf_allow_ns_preemption() · af34cd72
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      When a Yielding SMC is preempted, it's possible that Non-secure world is
      resumed afterwards. In this case, Non-secure execution would find itself
      in a state where the SMC has returned. However, the dispatcher might not
      get an opportunity to populate the corrected return code for having
      been preempted, and therefore the caller of the Yielding SMC cannot
      reliably determine whether the SMC had successfully completed or had
      been preempted.
      
      To solve this, this patch introduces a new parameter to the
      ehf_allow_ns_preemption() API. An SPD, through this parameter, would
      provide the expected error code when a Yielding SMC is preempted. EHF
      can then populate the specified value in x0 of the Non-secure context so
      that the caller of the Yielding SMC correctly identifies the SMC return
      as a preemption.
      
      Documentation updates to follow.

      Add comments about mismatched TCR_ELx and xlat tables · 883d1b5d
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
      read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
      specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
      performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
      completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
      that they are the same.
      
      This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
      in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
      that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
      tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
      even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
      
      The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
      where the functions are.
      
      Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
      tables have been fixed.

      Introduce the new BL handover interface · a6f340fe
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows
      passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made
      so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous
      blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new
      blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity
      implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file.
      Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic
      code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise
      the other registers are available for platform use.

      Redefine SMC_UNK as -1 instead of 0xFFFFFFFF · 4abd7fa7
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      According to the SMC Calling Convention (ARM DEN0028B):
      
          The Unknown SMC Function Identifier is a sign-extended value of
          (-1) that is returned in R0, W0 or X0 register.
      
      The value wasn't sign-extended because it was defined as a 32-bit
      unsigned value (0xFFFFFFFF).
      
      SMC_PREEMPT has been redefined as -2 for the same reason.
      
      NOTE: This might be a compatibility break for some AArch64 platforms
      that don't follow the previous version of the SMCCC (ARM DEN0028A)
      correctly. That document specifies that only the bottom 32 bits of the
      returned value must be checked. If a platform relies on the top 32 bits
      of the result being 0 (so that SMC_UNK is 0x00000000FFFFFFFF), it will
      have to fix its code to comply with the SMCCC.

      Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A73 and A75 · a1781a21
      Dimitris Papastamos authored
      
      
      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.

      Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A57 and A72 · f62ad322
      Dimitris Papastamos authored
      
      
      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.

      Enable SVE for Non-secure world · 1a853370
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      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.

      Refactor Statistical Profiling Extensions implementation · 281a08cc

      Factor out SPE operations in a separate file.  Use the publish

      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.

      Move FPEXC32_EL2 to FP Context · 91089f36
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      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

      BL31: Program Priority Mask for SMC handling · 3d732e23
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      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.

      BL31: Introduce Exception Handling Framework · 21b818c0
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      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).

      SPM: Introduce Secure Partition Manager · 2fccb228
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      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.

      Fix x30 reporting for unhandled exceptions · 4d91838b
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      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.

      Fix order of #includes · 2a4b4b71
      Isla Mitchell authored
      
      
      This fix modifies the order of system includes to meet the ARM TF coding
      standard. There are some exceptions in order to retain header groupings,
      minimise changes to imported headers, and where there are headers within
      the #if and #ifndef statements.

      Fully initialise essential control registers · 18f2efd6
      David Cunado authored
      
      
      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"

      PSCI: Build option to enable D-Caches early in warmboot · bcc3c49c
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
      after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
      interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
      platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
      D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.
      
      Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#456

      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.

      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      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.

      rockchip: optimize the link mechanism for SRAM code · ec693569
      Caesar Wang authored
      
      
      Add the common extra.ld.S and customized rk3399.ld.S to extend
      to more features for different platforms.
      For example, we can add SRAM section and specific address to
      load there if we need it, and the common bl31.ld.S not need to
      be modified.
      
      Therefore, we can remove the unused codes which copying explicitly
      from the function pmusram_prepare(). It looks like more clear.
