      Changes necessary to support SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION feature · 76d84cbc
      Madhukar Pappireddy authored
      
      
      Since BL31 PROGBITS and BL31 NOBITS sections are going to be
      in non-adjacent memory regions, potentially far from each other,
      some fixes are needed to support it completely.
      
      1. adr instruction only allows computing the effective address
      of a location only within 1MB range of the PC. However, adrp
      instruction together with an add permits position independent
      address of any location with 4GB range of PC.
      
      2. Since BL31 _RW_END_ marks the end of BL31 image, care must be
      taken that it is aligned to page size since we map this memory
      region in BL31 using xlat_v2 lib utils which mandate alignment of
      image size to page granularity.

      PIE: make call to GDT relocation fixup generalized · da90359b
      Manish Pandey authored
      When a Firmware is complied as Position Independent Executable it needs
      to request GDT fixup by passing size of the memory region to
      el3_entrypoint_common macro.
      The Global descriptor table fixup will be done early on during cold boot
      process of primary core.
      
      Currently only BL31 supports PIE, but in future when BL2_AT_EL3 will be
      compiled as PIE, it can simply pass fixup size to the common el3
      entrypoint macro to fixup GDT.
      
      The reason for this patch was to overcome the bug introduced by SHA
      330ead80
      
       which called fixup routine for each core causing
      re-initializing of global pointers thus overwriting any changes
      done by the previous core.

      Neoverse N1 Errata Workaround 1542419 · 80942622
      laurenw-arm authored
      
      
      Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
      executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
      fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
      fetches.
      
      The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation
      defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap
      handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary
      address followed by a DSB.

      Refactor ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication support code · ed108b56
      Alexei Fedorov authored
      
      
      This patch provides the following features and makes modifications
      listed below:
      - Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU.
      - New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event.
      - Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[]
        of cpu_data structure.
      - `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()`
        which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter
        value to increase the randomness of the generated key.
        The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys
      - ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`.
      - New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions
        generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
        pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable
        PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
        `pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from
        cpu-data structure.
      - Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to
        `save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`;
        `restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()`
        and `restore_gp_registers()` calls.
      - `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding
        code placed in `el3_exit()`.
      - Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space
        for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro
        CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h`
        and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END.
      - Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions
        in `msr	spsel`  instruction instead of hard-coded values.
      - Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

      Add UBSAN support and handlers · 1f461979
      Justin Chadwell authored
      
      
      This patch adds support for the Undefined Behaviour sanitizer. There are
      two types of support offered - minimalistic trapping support which
      essentially immediately crashes on undefined behaviour and full support
      with full debug messages.
      
      The full support relies on ubsan.c which has been adapted from code used
      by OPTEE.

      AArch64: Disable Secure Cycle Counter · e290a8fc
      Alexei Fedorov authored
      
      
      This patch fixes an issue when secure world timing information
      can be leaked because Secure Cycle Counter is not disabled.
      For ARMv8.5 the counter gets disabled by setting MDCR_El3.SCCD
      bit on CPU cold/warm boot.
      For the earlier architectures PMCR_EL0 register is saved/restored
      on secure world entry/exit from/to Non-secure state, and cycle
      counting gets disabled by setting PMCR_EL0.DP bit.
      'include\aarch64\arch.h' header file was tided up and new
      ARMv8.5-PMU related definitions were added.

      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.

      Rework smc_unknown return code path in smc_handler · cc485e27
      Madhukar Pappireddy authored
      
      
      The intention of this patch is to leverage the existing el3_exit() return
      routine for smc_unknown return path rather than a custom set of instructions.
      In order to leverage el3_exit(), the necessary counteraction (i.e., saving the
      system registers apart from GP registers) must be performed. Hence a series of
      instructions which save system registers( like SPSR_EL3, SCR_EL3 etc) to stack
      are moved to the top of group of instructions which essentially decode the OEN
      from the smc function identifier and obtain the specific service handler in
      rt_svc_descs_array. This ensures that the control flow for both known and
      unknown smc calls will be similar.

      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.

      Sanitise includes across codebase · 09d40e0e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      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.

      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.

      Double fault is when the PE receives another error whilst one is being

      to track the status of error handling. The flag is checked/modified
      while temporarily masking external aborts on the PE.
      
      This patch routes double faults to a separate platform-defined handler.

      RAS: Introduce handler for Uncontainable errors · b56dc2a9
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      Uncontainable errors are the most severe form of errors, which typically
      mean that the system state can't be trusted any more. This further means
      that normal error recovery process can't be followed, and an orderly
      shutdown of the system is often desirable.
      
      This patch allows for the platform to define a handler for Uncontainable
      errors received. Due to the nature of Uncontainable error, the handler
      is expected to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system, and therefore
      is not expected to return. A default implementation is added which falls
      back to platform unhandled exception.
      
      Also fix ras_arch.h header guards.

      This new macro fills the current exception vector until the next

      DynamIQ: Enable MMU without using stack · 64ee263e
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems.
      This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces
      MMU-enabling without using stacks.
      
      Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while
      enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU
      without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same
      time.
      
      NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2,
      disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#566

      AArch64: Introduce RAS handling · 14c6016a
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      RAS extensions are mandatory for ARMv8.2 CPUs, but are also optional
      extensions to base ARMv8.0 architecture.
      
      This patch adds build system support to enable RAS features in ARM
      Trusted Firmware. A boolean build option RAS_EXTENSION is introduced for
      this.
      
      With RAS_EXTENSION, an Exception Synchronization Barrier (ESB) is
      inserted at all EL3 vector entry and exit. ESBs will synchronize pending
      external aborts before entering EL3, and therefore will contain and
      attribute errors to lower EL execution. Any errors thus synchronized are
      detected via. DISR_EL1 register.
      
      When RAS_EXTENSION is set to 1, HANDLE_EL3_EA_FIRST must also be set to 1.

      AArch64: Introduce External Abort handling · 76454abf
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled
      exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to
      handle External Aborts routed to EL3.
      
      With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling
      is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their
      own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition
      of the said function that prints out a message and just panics.
      
      In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option
      HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1.
      
      Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to
      compilation; this patch fixes that too.

      AArch64: Refactor GP register restore to separate function · ef653d93
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      At present, the function that restores general purpose registers also
      does ERET. Refactor the restore code to restore general purpose
      registers without ERET to complement the save function.
      
      The macro save_x18_to_x29_sp_el0 was used only once, and is therefore
      removed, and its contents expanded inline for readability.
      
      No functional changes, but with this patch:
      
        - The SMC return path will incur an branch-return and an additional
          register load.
      
        - The unknown SMC path restores registers x0 to x3.

      Add support for the SMC Calling Convention 2.0 · 2f370465
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Due to differences in the bitfields of the SMC IDs, it is not possible
      to support SMCCC 1.X and 2.0 at the same time.
      
      The behaviour of `SMCCC_MAJOR_VERSION` has changed. Now, it is a build
      option that specifies the major version of the SMCCC that the Trusted
      Firmware supports. The only two allowed values are 1 and 2, and it
      defaults to 1. The value of `SMCCC_MINOR_VERSION` is derived from it.
      
      Note: Support for SMCCC v2.0 is an experimental feature to enable
      prototyping of secure partition specifications. Support for this
      convention is disabled by default and could be removed without notice.

      Add comments about mismatched TCR_ELx and xlat tables · 883d1b5d
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      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.

      Introduce the new BL handover interface · a6f340fe
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows
      passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made
      so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous
      blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new
      blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity
      implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file.
      Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic
      code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise
      the other registers are available for platform use.

      Redefine SMC_UNK as -1 instead of 0xFFFFFFFF · 4abd7fa7
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      According to the SMC Calling Convention (ARM DEN0028B):
      
          The Unknown SMC Function Identifier is a sign-extended value of
          (-1) that is returned in R0, W0 or X0 register.
      
      The value wasn't sign-extended because it was defined as a 32-bit
      unsigned value (0xFFFFFFFF).
      
      SMC_PREEMPT has been redefined as -2 for the same reason.
      
      NOTE: This might be a compatibility break for some AArch64 platforms
      that don't follow the previous version of the SMCCC (ARM DEN0028A)
      correctly. That document specifies that only the bottom 32 bits of the
      returned value must be checked. If a platform relies on the top 32 bits
      of the result being 0 (so that SMC_UNK is 0x00000000FFFFFFFF), it will
      have to fix its code to comply with the SMCCC.
