      It isn't possible to build this driver without adding this define.

      FVP: Enable PIE for RESET_TO_BL31=1 · fc922ca8
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch enabled PIE for FVP when RESET_TO_BL31=1. The references
      to BL31_BASE are replaced by BL31_START as being a symbol exported by
      the linker, will create a dynamic relocation entry in .rela.dyn and
      hence will be fixed up by dynamic linker at runtime. Also, we disable
      RECLAIM_INIT_CODE when PIE is enabled as the init section overlay
      creates some static relocations which cannot be handled by the
      dynamic linker currently.

      This patch makes use of mov_imm macro where possible to load
      immediate values within ARM platform layer.

      PIE: Position Independant Executable support for BL31 · 931f7c61
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      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.

      Make errata reporting mandatory for CPU files · 12af5ed4
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      Previously the errata reporting was optional for CPU operation
      files and this was achieved by making use of weak reference to
      resolve to 0 if the symbol is not defined. This is error prone
      when adding new CPU operation files and weak references are
      problematic when fixing up dynamic relocations. Hence this patch
      removes the weak reference and makes it mandatory for the CPU
      operation files to define the errata reporting function.

      PIE: Use PC relative adrp/adr for symbol reference · f1722b69
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch fixes up the AArch64 assembly code to use
      adrp/adr instructions instead of ldr instruction for
      reference to symbols. This allows these assembly
      sequences to be Position Independant. Note that the
      the reference to sizes have been replaced with
      calculation of size at runtime. This is because size
      is a constant value and does not depend on execution
      address and using PC relative instructions for loading
      them makes them relative to execution address. Also
      we cannot use `ldr` instruction to load size as it
      generates a dynamic relocation entry which must *not*
      be fixed up and it is difficult for a dynamic loader
      to differentiate which entries need to be skipped.

      Add helper to return reference to a symbol · 6a7b3005
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch adds a utility function to return
      the address of a symbol. By default, the compiler
      generates adr/adrp instruction pair to return
      the reference and this utility is used to override
      this compiler generated to code and use `ldr`
      instruction.
      
      This is needed for Position Independent Executable
      when it needs to reference a symbol which is constant
      and does not depend on the execute address of the
      binary.
      
      For example, on the FVP, the GICv3 register context is
      stored in a secure carveout (arm_el3_tzc_dram) within
      DDR and does not relocate with the BL image. Now if
      BL31 is executing at a different address other than
      the compiled address, using adrp/adr instructions to
      reference this memory will not work as they generate an
      address that is PC relative. The way to get around this
      problem is to reference it as non-PC relative (i.e
      non-relocatable location) via `ldr` instruction.
