There are two different implementations of Secure Partition management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM) design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface (SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development harder than it should be. This patch removes that dependency, making the two flags function independently. Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation. By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and this is overridden if SPM_MM=1. After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation. SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation. The two build flags are mutually exclusive. Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is easier to track the changes that were made.

Currently, sections within .text/.rodata/.data/.bss are emitted in the order they are seen by the linker. This leads to wasted space, when a section with a larger alignment follows one with a smaller alignment. We can avoid this wasted space by sorting the sections. To take full advantage of this, we must disable generation of common symbols, so "common" data can be sorted along with the rest of .bss. An example of the improvement, from `make DEBUG=1 PLAT=sun50i_a64 bl31`: .text => no change .rodata => 16 bytes saved .data => 11 bytes saved .bss => 576 bytes saved As a side effect, the addition of `-fno-common` in TF_CFLAGS makes it easier to spot bugs in header files.

This patch introduces explicit linker variables to mark the start and end of the per-cpu bakery lock section to help bakery_lock_normal.c calculate the size of the section. This patch removes the previously used '__PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__' linker variable to make the code uniform across GNU linker and ARM linker.

On some systems, it may be preferred to place the secure EL1/0 vector table outside of the static placement of the BL31 image itself, for instance when the latter is located in non-shareable SRAM which does not tolerate inner shareable WBWA mappings (as is the case on SynQuacer) So permit the platform to #define SPM_SHIM_EXCEPTIONS_VMA in its supplementary linker script, in which case it will be used as the VMA region for the vector table. Note that the LMA does not change, and it is up to the platform to copy the contents to the right place at init time. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

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.

This patch introduces Position Independant Executable(PIE) support in TF-A. As a initial prototype, only BL31 can support PIE. A trivial dynamic linker is implemented which supports fixing up Global Offset Table(GOT) and Dynamic relocations(.rela.dyn). The fixup_gdt_reloc() helper function implements this linker and this needs to be called early in the boot sequence prior to invoking C functions. The GOT is placed in the RO section of BL31 binary for improved security and the BL31 linker script is modified to export the appropriate symbols required for the dynamic linker. The C compiler always generates PC relative addresses to linker symbols and hence referencing symbols exporting constants are a problem when relocating the binary. Hence the reference to the `__PERCPU_TIMESTAMP_SIZE__` symbol in PMF is removed and is now calculated at runtime based on start and end addresses.

The translation tables allocated for the Secure Partition do not need to be treated as a special case. They can be put amongst the other tables mapping BL31's general purpose memory. They will be mapped with the same attributes as them, which is fine. The explicit alignment constraint in BL31's linker script to pad the last page of memory allocated to the Secure Partition's translation tables is useless too, as page tables are per se pages, thus their end address is naturally aligned on a page-boundary. In fact, this patch does not change the existing behaviour. Since patch 22282bb6 ("SPM: Move all SP-related info to SP context struct"), the secure_partition.c file has been renamed into sp_xlat.c but the linker script has not been properly updated. As a result, the SP translation tables are not specifically put at the start of the xlat_table linker section, the __SP_IMAGE_XLAT_TABLES_START__/_END__ symbols have the same value, the size of the resulting mmap_region covering these xlat tables is 0 and so it is ignored.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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. Change-Id: Ia0cfd42f51deaf739d792297e60cad5c6e6e610b

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.

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. Change-Id: Ic3751c0066b8032dcbf9d88f1d4dc73d15f61d8b

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.

The exact include path is exported through $PLAT_INCLUDES in the platform makefile. * Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in /plat/fvp/fvp_def.h. * Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now in /plat/fvp/fvp_private.h. * The remaining platform API declarations that must be ported by each platform are still in platform.h but this file has been moved to /include/plat/common since this can be shared by all platforms.

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. Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#163 Change-Id: I8c108646825da19a6a8dfb091b613e1dd4ae133c

All common functions are being built into all binary images, whether or not they are actually used. This change enables the use of -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections in the compiler and linker to remove unused code and data from the images.

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 Change-Id: I1369493ebbacea31885b51185441f6b628cf8da0

The BL31 and BL2 linker scripts ended up having duplicate descriptions for xlat_tables section. This patch removes those duplicate descriptions. Change-Id: Ibbdda0902c57fca5ea4e91e0baefa6df8f0a9bb1

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. Change-Id: I09a075d5da16822ee32a411a9dbe284718fb4ff6

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. Change-Id: Id21e7ddc5a33d42b7d6e455b41155fc5441a9547

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. Change-Id: I8c3e596ea3412c8bd582af9e8d622bb1cb2e049d

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. Change-Id: Ibd65ae8a5ce4c4ea9a71a794c95bbff40dc63e65
