This patch introduces a build flag which allows the xlat tables to be mapped in a read-only region within BL31 memory. It makes it much harder for someone who has acquired the ability to write to arbitrary secure memory addresses to gain control of the translation tables. The memory attributes of the descriptors describing the tables themselves are changed to read-only secure data. This change happens at the end of BL31 runtime setup. Until this point, the tables have read-write permissions. This gives a window of opportunity for changes to be made to the tables with the MMU on (e.g. reclaiming init code). No changes can be made to the tables with the MMU turned on from this point onwards. This change is also enabled for sp_min and tspd. To make all this possible, the base table was moved to .rodata. The penalty we pay is that now .rodata must be aligned to the size of the base table (512B alignment). Still, this is better than putting the base table with the higher level tables in the xlat_table section, as that would cost us a full 4KB page. Changing the tables from read-write to read-only cannot be done with the MMU on, as the break-before-make sequence would invalidate the descriptor which resolves the level 3 page table where that very descriptor is located. This would make the translation required for writing the changes impossible, generating an MMU fault. The caches are also flushed.

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__.)

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. Change-Id: Ifaf4438609b16647dc79468b70cd1f47a623362e Signed-off-by: Alexei Fedorov <Alexei.Fedorov@arm.com>

ARMv8.4-TTST (Small Translation tables) relaxes the lower limit on the size of translation tables by increasing the maximum permitted value of the T1SZ and T0SZ fields in TCR_EL1, TCR_EL2, TCR_EL3, VTCR_EL2 and VSTCR_EL2. This feature is supported in AArch64 state only. This patch adds support for this feature to both versions of the translation tables library. It also removes the static build time checks for virtual address space size checks to runtime assertions.

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.

Provide new APIs to add new regions without specifying the base VA. - `mmap_add_region_alloc_va` adds a static region to mmap choosing as base VA the first possible address after all the currently mapped regions. It is aligned to an appropriate boundary in relation to the size and base PA of the requested region. No attempt is made to fill any unused VA holes. - `mmap_add_dynamic_region_alloc_va` it adds a region the same way as `mmap_add_region_alloc_va` does, but it's dynamic instead of static. - `mmap_add_alloc_va` takes an array of non const `mmap_region_t`, maps them in the same way as `mmap_add_region_alloc_va` and fills their `base_va` field. A helper macro has been created to help create the array, called `MAP_REGION_ALLOC_VA`.

All identifiers, regardless of use, that start with two underscores are reserved. This means they can't be used in header guards. The style that this project is now to use the full name of the file in capital letters followed by 'H'. For example, for a file called "uart_example.h", the header guard is UART_EXAMPLE_H. The exceptions are files that are imported from other projects: - CryptoCell driver - dt-bindings folders - zlib headers Change-Id: I50561bf6c88b491ec440d0c8385c74650f3c106e Signed-off-by: Antonio Nino Diaz <antonio.ninodiaz@arm.com>

There are several platforms using arm_setup_page_tables(), which is supposed to be Arm platform only. This creates several dependency problems between platforms. This patch adds the definition XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V2 to the xlat tables lib v2 makefile. This way it is possible to detect from C code which version is being used and include the correct header. The file arm_xlat_tables.h has been renamed to xlat_tables_compat.h and moved to a common folder. This way, when in doubt, this header can be used to guarantee compatibility, as it includes the correct header based on XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V2. This patch also removes the usage of ARM_XLAT_TABLES_V1 from QEMU (so that is now locked in xlat lib v2) and ZynqMP (where it was added as a workaround).

Most registers are 64-bit wide, even in AArch32 mode: - MAIR_ELx is equivalent to MAIR0 and MAIR1. - TTBR is 64 bit in both AArch64 and AArch32. The only difference is the TCR register, which is 32 bit in AArch32 and in EL3 in AArch64. For consistency with the rest of ELs in AArch64, it makes sense to also have it as a 64-bit value.

The Exception Level is now detected at runtime. This means that it is not needed to hardcode the EL used by each image. This doesn't result in a substantial increase of the image size because the initialization functions that aren't used are garbage-collected by the linker. In AArch32 the current EL has been changed from EL3 to EL1 because the the AArch32 PL1&0 translation regime behaves more like the AArch64 EL1&0 translation regime than the EL3 one.

At present, the function provided by the translation library to enable MMU constructs appropriate values for translation library, and programs them to the right registers. The construction of initial values, however, is only required once as both the primary and secondaries program the same values. Additionally, the MMU-enabling function is written in C, which means there's an active stack at the time of enabling MMU. On some systems, like Arm DynamIQ, having active stack while enabling MMU during warm boot might lead to coherency problems. This patch addresses both the above problems by: - Splitting the MMU-enabling function into two: one that sets up values to be programmed into the registers, and another one that takes the pre-computed values and writes to the appropriate registers. With this, the primary effectively calls both functions to have the MMU enabled, but secondaries only need to call the latter. - Rewriting the function that enables MMU in assembly so that it doesn't use stack. This patch fixes a bunch of MISRA issues on the way. Change-Id: I0faca97263a970ffe765f0e731a1417e43fbfc45 Signed-off-by: Jeenu Viswambharan <jeenu.viswambharan@arm.com>

The values defined in this type are used in logical operations, which goes against MISRA Rule 10.1: "Operands shall not be of an inappropriate essential type". Now, `unsigned int` is used instead. This also allows us to move the dynamic mapping bit from 30 to 31. It was an undefined behaviour in the past because an enum is signed by default, and bit 31 corresponds to the sign bit. It is undefined behaviour to modify the sign bit. Now, bit 31 is free to use as it was originally meant to be. mmap_attr_t is now defined as an `unsigned int` for backwards compatibility.

The function xlat_arch_is_granule_size_supported() can be used to check if a specific granule size is supported. In Armv8, AArch32 only supports 4 KiB pages. AArch64 supports 4 KiB, 16 KiB or 64 KiB depending on the implementation, which is detected at runtime. The function xlat_arch_get_max_supported_granule_size() returns the max granule size supported by the implementation. Even though right now they are only used by SPM, they may be useful in other places in the future. This patch moves the code currently in SPM to the xlat tables lib so that it can be reused.

According to the ARMv8 ARM issue C.a: AP[1] is valid only for stage 1 of a translation regime that can support two VA ranges. It is RES 1 when stage 1 translations can support only one VA range. This means that, even though this bit is ignored, it should be set to 1 in the EL3 and EL2 translation regimes. For translation regimes consisting on EL0 and a higher regime this bit selects between control at EL0 or at the higher Exception level. The regimes that support two VA ranges are EL1&0 and EL2&0 (the later one is only available since ARMv8.1). This fix has to be applied to both versions of the translation tables library.

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.

A new platform define, `PLAT_SP_IMAGE_XLAT_SECTION_NAME`, has been introduced to select the section where the translation tables used by the S-EL1/S-EL0 are placed. This define has been used to move the translation tables to DRAM secured by TrustZone. Most of the extra needed space in BL31 when SPM is enabled is due to the large size of the translation tables. By moving them to this memory region we can save 44 KiB. A new argument has been added to REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2() to specify the region where the translation tables have to be placed by the linker.

REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2 macro is introduced to allow creating a xlat_ctx_t that targets a given translation regime (EL1&0 or EL3). A new member is added to xlat_ctx_t to represent the translation regime the xlat_ctx_t manages. The execute_never mask member is removed as it is computed from existing information.

The current implementation of the memory mapping API favours mapping memory regions using the biggest possible block size in order to reduce the number of translation tables needed. In some cases, this behaviour might not be desirable. When translation tables are edited at run-time, coarse-grain mappings like that might need splitting into finer-grain tables. This operation has a performance cost. The MAP_REGION2() macro allows to specify the granularity of translation tables used for the initial mapping of a memory region. This might increase performance for memory regions that are likely to be edited in the future, at the expense of a potentially increased memory footprint. The Translation Tables Library Design Guide has been updated to explain the use case for this macro. Also added a few intermediate titles to make the guide easier to digest.
