      CCI: Adapt for specific product at run time · e33fd445
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The current build system and driver requires the CCI product to be
      specified at build time. The device constraints can be determined at run
      time from its ID registers, obviating the need for specifying them
      ahead.
      
      This patch adds changes to identify and validate CCI at run time. Some
      global variables are renamed to be in line with the rest of the code
      base.
      
      The build option ARM_CCI_PRODUCT_ID is now removed, and user guide is
      updated.

      Introduce TF_LDFLAGS · c2b8806f
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Use TF_LDFLAGS from the Makefiles, and still append LDFLAGS as well to
      the compiler's invocation. This allows passing extra options from the
      make command line using LDFLAGS.
      
      Document new LDFLAGS Makefile option.

      Apply workarounds for A53 Cat A Errata 835769 and 843419 · a94cc374
      Douglas Raillard authored
      These errata are only applicable to AArch64 state. See the errata notice
      for more details:
      http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.epm048406/index.html
      
      
      
      Introduce the build options ERRATA_A53_835769 and ERRATA_A53_843419.
      Enable both of them for Juno.
      
      Apply the 835769 workaround as following:
      * Compile with -mfix-cortex-a53-835769
      * Link with --fix-cortex-a53-835769
      
      Apply the 843419 workaround as following:
      * Link with --fix-cortex-a53-843419
      
      The erratum 843419 workaround can lead the linker to create new sections
      suffixed with "*.stub*" and 4KB aligned. The erratum 835769 can lead the
      linker to create new "*.stub" sections with no particular alignment.
      
      Also add support for LDFLAGS_aarch32 and LDFLAGS_aarch64 in Makefile for
      architecture-specific linker options.

      cert: move platform_oid.h to include/tools_share for all platforms · bb41eb7a
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      Platforms aligned with TBBR are supposed to use their own OIDs, but
      defining the same macros with different OIDs does not provide any
      value (at least technically).
      
      For easier use of TBBR, this commit allows platforms to reuse the OIDs
      obtained by ARM Ltd.  This will be useful for non-ARM vendors that
      do not need their own extension fields in their certificate files.
      
      The OIDs of ARM Ltd. have been moved to include/tools_share/tbbr_oid.h
      
      Platforms can include <tbbr_oid.h> instead of <platform_oid.h> by
      defining USE_TBBR_DEFS as 1.  USE_TBBR_DEFS is 0 by default to keep the
      backward compatibility.
      
      For clarification, I inserted a blank line between headers from the
      include/ directory (#include <...>) and ones from a local directory
      (#include "..." ).

      fip: move headers shared between TF and fiptool to include/tools_share · 2a6c1a8f
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      Some header files need to be shared between TF and host programs.
      For fiptool, two headers are copied to the tools/fiptool directory,
      but it looks clumsy.
      
      This commit introduces a new directory, include/tools_share, which
      collects headers that should be shared between TF and host programs.
      
      This will clarify the interface exposed to host tools.  We should
      add new headers to this directory only when we really need to do so.
      
      For clarification, I inserted a blank line between headers from the
      include/ directory (#include <...>) and ones from a local directory

      Some recent changes have added direct use of the echo command without

      This is corrected using the ECHO_BLANK_LINE macro already provided

      Add the new build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` that controls whether or

      and to 0 for release builds.
      
      Additionally, a following patch will be done to allow this build option
      to hide auxiliary code used for the checks done in an `assert()`. This
      code is is currently under the DEBUG build flag.
      
      Assert messages are now only printed if LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_INFO,
      which is the default for debug builds.
      
      This patch also updates the User Guide.

      Build: add generic way to include SCP_BL2 into FIP image · 4d045d0e
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      If SCP_BL2 is passed in from the command line, it is recognized by
      make_helpers/tbbr/tbbr_tools.mk, and the cert_create tool generates
      the corresponding key and content certificates.
      
      On the other hand, the top-level Makefile does not care SCP_BL2, so
      the --scp-fw option is not passed to the fiptool.  As far as I see
      plat/arm/css/common/css_common.mk, it looks like a platform's job to
      add $(eval $(call FIP_ADD_IMG,SCP_BL2,--scp-fw)).
      
      We can make the top-level Makefile kind enough to take care of it.
      This is useful when we want to have optional SCP_BL2 firmware.
      
      Adjust css_common.mk so that Juno still requires SCP_BL2 by default.

      Add support for GCC stack protection · 51faada7
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      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.

      Add version 2 of xlat tables library · 7bb01fb2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      The folder lib/xlat_tables_v2 has been created to store a new version
      of the translation tables library for further modifications in patches
      to follow. At the moment it only contains a basic implementation that
      supports static regions.
      
      This library allows different translation tables to be modified by
      using different 'contexts'. For now, the implementation defaults to
      the translation tables used by the current image, but it is possible
      to modify other tables than the ones in use.
      
      Added a new API to print debug information for the current state of
      the translation tables, rather than printing the information while
      the tables are being created. This allows subsequent debug printing
      of the xlat tables after they have been changed, which will be useful
      when dynamic regions are implemented in a patch to follow.
      
      The common definitions stored in `xlat_tables.h` header have been moved
      to a new file common to both versions, `xlat_tables_defs.h`.
      
      All headers related to the translation tables library have been moved to
      a the subfolder `xlat_tables`.

      Disallow using coherent memory with hardware-assisted coherency · d4593e47
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      ARM Trusted Firmware keeps certain data structures in a memory region
      with non-cacheable attributes (termed as "coherent memory") to keep data
      coherent with observers that are cache-coherent, and those not. These
      data structures pertain to power management and mutual exclusion. Using
      coherent memory also costs at least an additional page to map memory
      with special memory attributes.
      
      On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, all CPUs that participate
      in power management and mutual exclusion are cache-coherent, obviating
      the need for special memory attributes for such data structures.
      Instead, they can be placed in normal memory, along with rest of data.
      
      On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, where build option
      HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY will be set, also having USE_COHERENT_MEMORY
      enabled only wastes a page of memory without any
      benefit. Therefore, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY set to 1, require that
      USE_COHERENT_MEMORY is explicitly set to 0.

      Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction · c877b414

      The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
      atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
      is only available for AArch64.
      
      Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
      ARM Trusted Firmware:
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 8.
      
        - ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
          Architecture. Default value is 0.
      
      When:
      
        (ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
      
      for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
      locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
      load-/store-exclusive instructions.
      
      Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
      summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
      Extensions.

      PSCI: Decouple PSCI stat residency calculation from PMF · 04c1db1e
      dp-arm authored
      
      
      This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:
      
      * void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to perform accounting before entering a low power state.  This
        typically involves capturing a timestamp.
      
      * void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state.  This
        typically involves capturing a timestamp.
      
      * u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
      	const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
      	unsigned int last_cpu_index)
      
        This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
        to calculate the PSCI stat residency.
      
      If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
      recommended that all of them are.
      
      By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled.  If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
      is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
      collection backend must be provided.  If both are set, then default
      weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
      calculate the residency.
      
      NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
      `ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
      Makefile.

      Makefile: use git describe for BUILD_STRING · bee71c7a
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Currently, the BUILD_STRING is just 7-digits git hash.  It is true
      we can identify which version is running, but we can not get a quick
      idea about how new or old it is.
      
      The command "git describe" provides us a bit more useful information
      in the format of:
        (tag-name)-(number of commits on top the tag)-g(7 digits hash)
      
      I added some options:
        --always
          Make "git describe" work without any tag in case the upstream
          ATF is cloned, but all the tags are locally dropped.
      
        --tags
          Use any tag instead of only annotated tags.  In ATF, only some
          tags are annotated, actually the last annotated tag is "v0.2",
          whereas we are on "v1.3" tag now.  This option is needed to get
          something like v1.3-233-gbcc2bf09 instead of v0.2-1713-gbcc2bf09.
      
        --dirty
          The mark "-dirty" is appended if the source tree is locally
          modified.
      
      With this commit, the welcome string
      
        NOTICE:  BL1: v1.3(debug):bcc2bf09
      
      will become like follows:
      
        NOTICE:  BL1: v1.3(debug):v1.3-233-gbcc2bf09
      
      -dirty
      
      While we are here, let's add "2> /dev/null" as well to silently
      ignore any error message from git.  We should not assume that users
      always work in a git repository; the ATF might be released in a
      tarball form instead of a git repository.  In such a case, the git
      command will fail, then the ugly message "fatal: Not a git ..." will
      be displayed during the build:
      
      $ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
      fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

      build: Use separate CFLAGS for tools · 72fc70ed
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Sharing the same CFLAGS for both the firmware and host tools is not
      useful and can lead to compilation failure when CFLAGS is set on the
      command line.
      
      This patch make MAKEOVERRIDES special variable empty so make's command
      line variable definitions are not implicitly forwarded to sub make
      invocations. However, make options are still forwarded like "-s" option
      to make the build silent.

      Report errata workaround status to console · 10bcd761
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      The errata reporting policy is as follows:
      
        - If an errata workaround is enabled:
      
          - If it applies (i.e. the CPU is affected by the errata), an INFO
            message is printed, confirming that the errata workaround has been
            applied.
      
          - If it does not apply, a VERBOSE message is printed, confirming
            that the errata workaround has been skipped.
      
        - If an errata workaround is not enabled, but would have applied had
          it been, a WARN message is printed, alerting that errata workaround
          is missing.
      
      The CPU errata messages are printed by both BL1 (primary CPU only) and
      runtime firmware on debug builds, once for each CPU/errata combination.

      Add -fno-builtin to CFLAGS · e507f8e7
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Disable the automatic substitution of functions with builtins. The
      existing -ffreestanding option should already do this but explicitly
      adding -fno-builtin reduces the risk of compiler variation. With this
      option, GCC is not supposed to be able to make assumptions on what the
      function does, which could otherwise lead to security-sensitive code
      removal.
      
      This can lead to potentially less efficient code but improves
      predictability of what code is actually compiled into the binary.

      fiptool: support --align option to add desired alignment to image offset · 1c75d5df
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      
      The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
      them.  So, the offset to each image has no alignment.  This is not
      efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
      device.
      
      For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing.  The block size
      is 512 byte.  So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
      since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
      address directly.  The worst case is the offset does not have even
      DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now).  In this case,
      we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
      from the bounce buffer to our final destination.  At least, this
      should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
      CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.
      
      This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool.  This option,
      if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
      by the specified byte.  Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
      easier access to this feature; users can give something like
      FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
      their platform.mk file.

      checkpatch: Fix regular expressions · 55cdcf75
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      When generating the list of files to check by checkpatch.pl, the list
      generated by `git ls-files` is filtered by a regular expression with
      grep. Due to a malformed regex, the dot of `.md` was considered a
      wildcard instead of a dot. This patch fixes this so that it matches
      only dots, thus allowing the two following files to be checked:
      
      * tools/cert_create/include/cmd_opt.h
      * tools/cert_create/src/cmd_opt.c
      
      Also extended the list of library directories to check by checkpatch
      to exclude any folder starting with libfdt.
