      Enable preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow · cf2c8a33
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      Enable alternative boot flow where BL2 does not load BL33 from
      non-volatile storage, and BL31 hands execution over to a preloaded
      BL33.
      
      The flag used to enable this bootflow is BL33_BASE, which must hold
      the entrypoint address of the BL33 image. The User Guide has been
      updated with an example of how to use this option with a bootwrapped
      kernel.

      Rationalise MMU and Page table related constants on ARM platforms · c64a0448
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      `board_arm_def.h` contains multiple definitions of
      `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` that are optimised for
      memory usage depending upon the chosen build configuration. To ease
      maintenance of these constants, this patch replaces their multiple
      definitions with a single set of definitions that will work on all ARM
      platforms.
      
      Platforms can override the defaults with optimal values by enabling the
      `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` build option. An example has been provided in
      the Juno ADP port.
      
      Additionally, `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` is increased by one to accomodate
      future ARM platforms.

      Allow multi cluster topology definitions for ARM platforms · 0108047a
      Soby Mathew authored
      The common topology description helper funtions and macros for
      ARM Standard platforms assumed a dual cluster system. This is not
      flexible enough to scale to multi cluster platforms. This patch does
      the following changes for more flexibility in defining topology:
      
      1. The `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` definition is moved from
         `arm_topology.c` to platform specific files, that is `fvp_topology.c`
         and `juno_topology.c`. Similarly the common definition of the porting
         macro `PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT` in `arm_def.h` is moved to platform
         specific `platform_def.h` header.
      
      2. The ARM common layer porting macros which were dual cluster specific
         are now removed and a new macro PLAT_ARM_CLUSTER_COUNT is introduced
         which must be defined by each ARM standard platform.
      
      3. A new mandatory ARM common layer porting API
         `plat_arm_get_cluster_core_count()` is introduced to enable the common
         implementation of `arm_check_mpidr()` to validate MPIDR.
      
      4. For the FVP platforms, a new build option `FVP_NUM_CLUSTERS` has been
         introduced which allows the user to specify the cluster count to be
         used to build the topology tree within Trusted Firmare. This enables
         Trusted Firmware to be built for multi cluster FVP models.

      Make SCP_BL2(U) image loading configurable on CSS platforms · 7fb9a32d
      Vikram Kanigiri authored
      Current code mandates loading of SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images for all
      CSS platforms. On future ARM CSS platforms, the Application
      Processor (AP) might not need to load these images. So, these
      items can be removed from the FIP on those platforms.
      
      BL2 tries to load  SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images if their base
      addresses are defined causing boot error if the images are not
      found in FIP.
      
      This change adds a make flag `CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES` which if set
      to `1` does:
      1. Adds SCP_BL2, SCP_BL2U images to FIP.
      2. Defines the base addresses of these images so that AP loads
         them.
      
      And vice-versa if it is set to `0`. The default value is set to
      `1`.

      ARM plat: add build option to unlock access to non-secure timer · 0e5dcdd2
      Juan Castillo authored
      Currently, Trusted Firmware on ARM platforms unlocks access to the
      timer frame registers that will be used by the Non-Secure world. This
      unlock operation should be done by the Non-Secure software itself,
      instead of relying on secure firmware settings.
      
      This patch adds a new ARM specific build option 'ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR'
      to unlock access to the timer frame by setting the corresponding
      bits in the CNTACR<N> register. The frame id <N> is defined by
      'PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID'. Default value is true (unlock timer
      access).
      
      Documentation updated accordingly.

      Apply TBBR naming convention to the fip_create options · 8f0617ef
      Juan Castillo authored
      The fip_create tool specifies images in the command line using the
      ARM TF naming convention (--bl2, --bl31, etc), while the cert_create
      tool uses the TBBR convention (--tb-fw, --soc-fw, etc). This double
      convention is confusing and should be aligned.
      
      This patch updates the fip_create command line options to follow the
      TBBR naming convention. Usage examples in the User Guide have been
      also updated.
      
      NOTE: users that build the FIP by calling the fip_create tool directly
      from the command line must update the command line options in their
      scripts. Users that build the FIP by invoking the main ARM TF Makefile
      should not notice any difference.

      De-feature PL011 UART driver to match generic UART spec · 12f654b6
      Juan Castillo authored
      The Server Base System Architecture document (ARM-DEN-0029)
      specifies a generic UART device. The programmer's view of this
      generic UART is a subset of the ARM PL011 UART. However, the
      current PL011 driver in Trusted Firmware uses some features
      that are outside the generic UART specification.
      
      This patch modifies the PL011 driver to exclude features outside
      the SBSA generic UART specification by setting the boolean build
      option 'PL011_GENERIC_UART=1'. Default value is 0 (use full
      PL011 features).

      Enable use of FIQs and IRQs as TSP interrupts · 02446137
      Soby Mathew authored
      On a GICv2 system, interrupts that should be handled in the secure world are
      typically signalled as FIQs. On a GICv3 system, these interrupts are signalled
      as IRQs instead. The mechanism for handling both types of interrupts is the same
      in both cases. This patch enables the TSP to run on a GICv3 system by:
      
      1. adding support for handling IRQs in the exception handling code.
      2. removing use of "fiq" in the names of data structures, macros and functions.
      
      The build option TSPD_ROUTE_IRQ_TO_EL3 is deprecated and is replaced with a
      new build flag TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT. For compatibility reasons, if the
      former build flag is defined, it will be used to define the value for the
      new build flag. The documentation is also updated accordingly.

      TBB: add Trusted Watchdog support on ARM platforms · 7b4c1405
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch adds watchdog support on ARM platforms (FVP and Juno).
      A secure instance of SP805 is used as Trusted Watchdog. It is
      entirely managed in BL1, being enabled in the early platform setup
      hook and disabled in the exit hook. By default, the watchdog is
      enabled in every build (even when TBB is disabled).
      
      A new ARM platform specific build option `ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG`
      has been introduced to allow the user to disable the watchdog at
      build time. This feature may be used for testing or debugging
      purposes.
      
      Specific error handlers for Juno and FVP are also provided in this
      patch. These handlers will be called after an image load or
      authentication error. On FVP, the Table of Contents (ToC) in the FIP
      is erased. On Juno, the corresponding error code is stored in the
      V2M Non-Volatile flags register. In both cases, the CPU spins until
      a watchdog reset is generated after 256 seconds (as specified in
      the TBBR document).

      Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option · a9bec67d
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
      which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
      slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
      and performance.
      
      COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
      may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
      code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
      CPU distinction.
      
      If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
      out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
      primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
      may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
      primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.
      
      All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
      so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
      Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
      when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
      normal boot flow.
      
      For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
      APIs become optional:
        - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
        - plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
      The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.
      
      User Guide updated as well.

      Introduce SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT build flag · 35e8c766
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
      puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging
      the post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware by stopping execution
      in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
      developer may take control of the target using a debugger.

      Remove the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option · 54718418
      Soby Mathew authored
      The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
      ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
      interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
      of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
      the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
      type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
      such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.
      
      The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
      now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
      INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#307

      Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED · 7a24cba5
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
      Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
      build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
      WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
      trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
      is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
      When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
      inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.
      
      Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
      conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
      so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
      ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.
      
      NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
      using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
      trigger a build error.

      PSCI: Add documentation and fix plat_is_my_cpu_primary() · 58523c07
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds the necessary documentation updates to porting_guide.md
      for the changes in the platform interface mandated as a result of the new
      PSCI Topology and power state management frameworks. It also adds a
      new document `platform-migration-guide.md` to aid the migration of existing
      platform ports to the new API.
      
      The patch fixes the implementation and callers of
      plat_is_my_cpu_primary() to use w0 as the return parameter as implied by
      the function signature rather than x0 which was used previously.

      PSCI: Demonstrate support for composite power states · 2204afde
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds support to the Juno and FVP ports for composite power states
      with both the original and extended state-id power-state formats. Both the
      platform ports use the recommended state-id encoding as specified in
      Section 6.5 of the PSCI specification (ARM DEN 0022C). The platform build flag
      ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC is used to include this support.
      
      By default, to maintain backwards compatibility, the original power state
      parameter format is used and the state-id field is expected to be zero.

      PSCI: Add deprecated API for SPD when compatibility is disabled · 5c8babcd
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch defines deprecated platform APIs to enable Trusted
      Firmware components like Secure Payload and their dispatchers(SPD)
      to continue to build and run when platform compatibility is disabled.
      This decouples the migration of platform ports to the new platform API
      from SPD and enables them to be migrated independently. The deprecated
      platform APIs defined in this patch are : platform_get_core_pos(),
      platform_get_stack() and platform_set_stack().
      
      The patch also deprecates MPIDR based context management helpers like
      cm_get_context_by_mpidr(), cm_set_context_by_mpidr() and cm_init_context().
      A mechanism to deprecate APIs and identify callers of these APIs during
      build is introduced, which is controlled by the build flag WARN_DEPRECATED.
      If WARN_DEPRECATED is defined to 1, the users of the deprecated APIs will be
      flagged either as a link error for assembly files or compile time warning
      for C files during build.

      PSCI: Add framework to handle composite power states · 8ee24980
      Soby Mathew authored
      The state-id field in the power-state parameter of a CPU_SUSPEND call can be
      used to describe composite power states specific to a platform. The current PSCI
      implementation does not interpret the state-id field. It relies on the target
      power level and the state type fields in the power-state parameter to perform
      state coordination and power management operations. The framework introduced
      in this patch allows the PSCI implementation to intepret generic global states
      like RUN, RETENTION or OFF from the State-ID to make global state coordination
      decisions and reduce the complexity of platform ports. It adds support to
      involve the platform in state coordination which facilitates the use of
      composite power states and improves the support for entering standby states
      at multiple power domains.
      
      The patch also includes support for extended state-id format for the power
      state parameter as specified by PSCIv1.0.
      
      The PSCI implementation now defines a generic representation of the power-state
      parameter. It depends on the platform port to convert the power-state parameter
      (possibly encoding a composite power state) passed in a CPU_SUSPEND call to this
      representation via the `validate_power_state()` plat_psci_ops handler. It is an
      array where each index corresponds to a power level. Each entry contains the
      local power state the power domain at that power level could enter.
      
      The meaning of the local power state values is platform defined, and may vary
      between levels in a single platform. The PSCI implementation constrains the
      values only so that it can classify the state as RUN, RETENTION or OFF as
      required by the specification:
         * zero means RUN
         * all OFF state values at all levels must be higher than all RETENTION
           state values at all levels
         * the platform provides PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE values
           to the framework
      
      The platform also must define the macros PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and
      PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE which lets the PSCI implementation find out which power
      domains have been requested to enter a retention or power down state. The PSCI
      implementation does not interpret the local power states defined by the
      platform. The only constraint is that the PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE <
      PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE.
      
      For a power domain tree, the generic implementation maintains an array of local
      power states. These are the states requested for each power domain by all the
      cores contained within the domain. During a request to place multiple power
      domains in a low power state, the platform is passed an array of requested
      power-states for each power domain through the plat_get_target_pwr_state()
      API. It coordinates amongst these states to determine a target local power
      state for the power domain. A default weak implementation of this API is
      provided in the platform layer which returns the minimum of the requested
      power-states back to the PSCI state coordination.
      
      Finally, the plat_psci_ops power management handlers are passed the target
      local power states for each affected power domain using the generic
      representation described above. The platform executes operations specific to
      these target states.
      
      The platform power management handler for placing a power domain in a standby
      state (plat_pm_ops_t.pwr_domain_standby()) is now only used as a fast path for
      placing a core power domain into a standby or retention state should now be
      used to only place the core power domain in a standby or retention state.
      
      The extended state-id power state format can be enabled by setting the
      build flag PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID=1 and it is disabled by default.

      Update user guide to use Linaro releases · 640af0ee
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      Linaro produce monthly software releases for the Juno and AEMv8-FVP
      platforms. These provide an integrated set of software components
      that have been tested together on these platforms.
      
      From now on, it is recommend that Trusted Firmware developers use the
      Linaro releases (currently 15.06) as a baseline for the dependent
      software components: normal world firmware, Linux kernel and device
      tree, file system as well as any additional micro-controller firmware
      required by the platform.
      
      This patch updates the user guide to document this new process. It
      changes the instructions to get the source code of the full software
      stack (including Trusted Firmware) and updates the dependency build
      instructions to make use of the build scripts that the Linaro releases
      provide.

      TBB: switch to the new authentication framework · 1779ba6b
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
      the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
      module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
      authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.
      
      A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
      is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
      authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
      trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.
      
      The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
      build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
      ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.
      
      The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
      to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
      variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.
      
      On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
      each to accommodate the ECDSA code.

      TBB: add platform API to read the ROTPK information · 95cfd4ad
      Juan Castillo authored
      This patch extends the platform port by adding an API that returns
      either the Root of Trust public key (ROTPK) or its hash. This is
      usually stored in ROM or eFUSE memory. The ROTPK returned must be
      encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1 structure:
      
          SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
              algorithm           AlgorithmIdentifier,
              subjectPublicKey    BIT STRING
          }
      
      In case the platform returns a hash of the key:
      
          DigestInfo  ::= SEQUENCE {
              digestAlgorithm     AlgorithmIdentifier,
              keyDigest           OCTET STRING
          }
      
      An implementation for ARM development platforms is provided in this
      patch. When TBB is enabled, the ROTPK hash location must be specified
      using the build option 'ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION'. Available options are:
      
          - 'regs' : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted
            root-key storage registers.
      
          - 'devel_rsa' : return a ROTPK hash embedded in the BL1 and
            BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the development
            RSA public key located in 'plat/arm/board/common/rotpk'.
      
      On FVP, the number of MMU tables has been increased to map and
      access the ROTPK registers.
      
      A new file 'board_common.mk' has been added to improve code sharing
      in the ARM develelopment platforms.

      TBB: add build option to save private keys · fd34e7ba

      This patch adds a boolean build option 'SAVE_KEYS' to indicate the
      certificate generation tool that it must save the private keys used
      to establish the chain of trust. This option depends on 'CREATE_KEYS'
      to be enabled. Default is '0' (do not save).
      
      Because the same filenames are used as outputs to save the keys,
      they are no longer a dependency to the cert_tool. This dependency
      has been removed from the Makefile.
      
      Documentation updated accordingly.

      Introduce PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS build option · bf031bba
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      This patch introduces a new platform build option, called
      PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has
      a programmable or fixed reset vector address.
      
      If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the
      platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
      it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
      then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
      the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
      mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.
