      Switch AARCH32/AARCH64 to __aarch64__ · 402b3cf8
      Julius Werner authored 
      

NOTE: AARCH32/AARCH64 macros are now deprecated in favor of __aarch64__.

All common C compilers pre-define the same macros to signal which
architecture the code is being compiled for: __arm__ for AArch32 (or
earlier versions) and __aarch64__ for AArch64. There's no need for TF-A
to define its own custom macros for this. In order to unify code with
the export headers (which use __aarch64__ to avoid another dependency),
let's deprecate the AARCH32 and AARCH64 macros and switch the code base
over to the pre-defined standard macro. (Since it is somewhat
unintuitive that __arm__ only means AArch32, let's standardize on only
using __aarch64__.)

      Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with compiler-builtin __ASSEMBLER__ · d5dfdeb6
      Julius Werner authored 
      

NOTE: __ASSEMBLY__ macro is now deprecated in favor of __ASSEMBLER__.

All common C compilers predefine a macro called __ASSEMBLER__ when
preprocessing a .S file. There is no reason for TF-A to define it's own
__ASSEMBLY__ macro for this purpose instead. To unify code with the
export headers (which use __ASSEMBLER__ to avoid one extra dependency),
let's deprecate __ASSEMBLY__ and switch the code base over to the
predefined standard.

      Factor out cross-BL API into export headers suitable for 3rd party code · 57bf6057
      Julius Werner authored 
      

This patch adds a new include/export/ directory meant for inclusion in
third-party code. This is useful for cases where third-party code needs
to interact with TF-A interfaces and data structures (such as a custom
BL2-implementation like coreboot handing off to BL31). Directly
including headers from the TF-A repository avoids having to duplicate
all these definitions (and risk them going stale), but with the current
header structure this is not possible because handoff API definitions
are too deeply intertwined with other TF code/headers and chain-include
other headers that will not be available in the other environment.

The new approach aims to solve this by separating only the parts that
are really needed into these special headers that are self-contained and
will not chain-include other (non-export) headers. TF-A code should
never include them directly but should instead always include the
respective wrapper header, which will include the required prerequisites
(like <stdint.h>) before including the export header. Third-party code
can include the export headers via its own wrappers that make sure the
necessary definitions are available in whatever way that environment can
provide them.

      Introduce lightweight BL platform parameter library · b852d229
      Julius Werner authored 
      

This patch adds some common helper code to support a lightweight
platform parameter passing framework between BLs that has already been
used on Rockchip platforms but is more widely useful to others as well.
It can be used as an implementation for the SoC firmware configuration
file mentioned in the docs, and is primarily intended for platforms
that only require a handful of values to be passed and want to get by
without a libfdt dependency. Parameters are stored in a linked list and
the parameter space is split in generic and vendor-specific parameter
types. Generic types will be handled by this code whereas
vendor-specific types have to be handled by a vendor-specific handler
function that gets passed in.

      Add support for Branch Target Identification · 9fc59639
      Alexei Fedorov authored 
      

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
than BTI.
BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
instruction.
This is an experimental feature.
Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

      Tegra: Support for scatterfile for the BL31 image · c2ad38ce
      Varun Wadekar authored 
      

This patch provides support for using the scatterfile format as
the linker script with the 'armlink' linker for Tegra platforms.

In order to enable the scatterfile usage the following changes
have been made:

* provide mapping for ld.S symbols in bl_common.h
* include bl_common.h from all the affected files
* update the makefile rules to use the scatterfile and armlink
  to compile BL31
* update pubsub.h to add sections to the scatterfile

NOTE: THIS CHANGE HAS BEEN VERIFIED WITH TEGRA PLATFORMS ONLY.

      Add ARMv8.3-PAuth registers to CPU context · 5283962e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      

ARMv8.3-PAuth adds functionality that supports address authentication of
the contents of a register before that register is used as the target of
an indirect branch, or as a load.

This feature is supported only in AArch64 state.

This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.3 implementations.

This feature adds several registers to EL1. A new option called
CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS has been added to select if the TF needs to save
them during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches. This option must be
enabled if the hardware has the registers or the values will be leaked
during world switches.

To prevent leaks, this patch also disables pointer authentication in the
Secure world if CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS is 0. Any attempt to use it will
be trapped in EL3.
